Review titled Fantastic Receptionist
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Annmarie O'Meara - Posted on 14 November 2022
I went into the surgery this afternoon in a distressed state. I spoke to a lovely receptionist who was rather concerned for me. This person went above and beyond providing me with sympathy and reassurance. The staff member was able to get me a telephone appointment with a GP who called me within the hour. I am so grateful for that receptionists help today. I have been back to thank the staff member in person. This person deserves a medal. I'm also thankful to the Doctor for giving me the help that I needed.

Review titled Very good experiences
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs P - Posted on 16 November 2022
I have used Blandford Medical Centre for several years and have always been very happy with the service. The receptionists, in person and via phone, are always kind and understanding, working hard to help with any issues or appointments needed, and showing patience when I am worried or struggling with my health issues. The nurses are the absolute best! They are caring and understanding, making sure I am comfortable and offering information, when requested, helping to calm my anxieties when I am worrying and overthinking. The different doctors I have seen over the years have been amazing, listening and helping me with my health issues and guiding me towards different health support networks as necessary. I can honestly say, the kindness and empathy that all of the staff have shown me over the years has been incredible, I can not praise them enough. Thank you Blandford team!

Review titled Bad customer service & delusional management
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 November 2022
Receptionists are 9/10 rude and unwelcoming showing no sympathy for patients in need of medical attention. Went to complain to management but they are 100% adamant that their staff do an amazing job and they disregard all the bad reviews which to me shows that they are not willing to improve and are delusional about the service that is actually being provided. I don't go to the surgery very much so luckily my experience is kept to a minimum but then most of my experiences have been bad.

Dear Patient, Due to the anonymous nature of your review, I am unable to investigate the issues you have experienced but if you wanted to contact the practice, I would be happy to discuss them with you. I always respond to every email or phone call request, and I have answered every review that has been posted while I have been PM. Unfortunately, we are not always able to give the patient everything they request as we are bound by NHS rules and guidance, but we will always explain why we are unable to provide a service that has been requested. Kind regards Caroline Jones Practice Manager

Dear Patient, Thank you for your review. We are trying to make more of our appointments available for online booking to make things easier for patients. This releases pressure on the phone lines for those patients that do not use online services. Thank you for using this service. Kind regards caroline Jones Practice Manager

It was a very good experience with the doctor I saw he was very caring and efficient, he made time to examine me and told me if I had any problems to make a appointment to come back and talk to anyone.

Review titled Great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Phoned the surgery on Friday morning, after getting through the receptionist was very helpful and cheerful saying the doctor would call back, he did at 9.15am and invited me to appointment at 10.20am. Such a quick service and sorted so quickly with an injection and a prescription. A friendly GP that knows me definitely helped
