Review titled Good gp but difficult to get appointments
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 May 2024
The gps are good and helpful. However the system to book appointment is appalling You have to call at 8 in the morning and then you can get an appointments problem is everyone call same time so the line is always busy or by the time you manage to get through there is no more appointment left. I feel they need to come up with a better way of managing appointment. But no issues about the gp

Review titled Exceptional Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by E. Holt - Posted on 16 June 2023
Having read some recent negative reviews from 'anonymous' reviewers, I felt compelled to write. My family and I have been with this surgery for some years. They have always delivered an exceptionally high standard of care to us all. I personally suffer with some long term conditions and they have taken care to ensure I have regular check ups and am monitored going forward. I recently referred a neighbour to them as she was having trouble getting anywhere with her own GP. She switched to Victoria Medical Centre and said she could not be happier with the service she has received. To the extent that she has told a fellow neighbour to switch to VMC too. I can't help but wonder if these 'anonymous' reviews are just malicious and not real patients, as I have not encountered one person who uses VMC (and I have several friends that do) that are not happy with the service. Fantastic and friendly Medical Centre.

I have been coming to this practice for many years I have always had great service from this practice. Staff have always been friendly. The doctors always given me time listen to my health issues. I have always managed to get an appointment on time. Over all this is and always been practice.

Review titled disappointing service
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Daniel D Bass - Posted on 16 January 2023
upon reading the reviews on this site I've come to the conclusion that long term patients get a better service then patients who haven't been registered as long with them. I changed my doctors because I felt my previous one wasn't doing enough or taking my health as seriously as they should have (suffered severe back pains for more then 2 years now) and figured that a new doctors might be different, bad call on my part as I don't seem to be getting anywhere with this surgery either. i called today 16/01/23 and was on the phone waiting for 30 mins or more only to be told no appointments left as only one doctor was in and he was only a locum so not even a regular surgery doctor and was told to call back tomorrow (no doubt will have to wait another 30 mins or more to get through). I get that NHS is under pressure but I haven't been able to see a doctor face to face for more then 2 years and feel this very unacceptable. I just want to see a regular doctor (same doctor at all appointments) who will take my health issues seriously and help me to manage the pain I'm suffering.

Review titled Won’t respond to calls in the morning
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 January 2023
I tried calling continuously to the Gp many times at 8am to 8:30 during weekdays in this month. But it says that the Victoria medical Centre is closed and will mention the opening hours of Gp even though I ring them during opening hours. I tried Dr. Iq online consultation app as well regarding my health issue but they sent message to me to call at 12pm to a particular phone number. I have called to that number at 12pm on that particular day and waited for almost 30-40min but there was no response. Patients will call to Gp if they have health problem and if Gp won’t respond it would be very difficult. Even I tried going to Gp directly in the last year because of health issue of my new born baby as they didn’t respond to calls even though I tried many times. When I went in person to Gp they will say the same thing to call around 8-8:20am in the morning but when I tried to call them they won’t pick the call.
