Review titled Awful
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 29 March 2024
Patient here for over 40 years and have just moved elsewhere. In its day it was amazing but drastic decline now. Some of reception staff downright rude and unhelpful. Hardly any permanent drs. Mostly felt robbed off and not listened to when I was able to get an appointment - dreaded going ! Final straw was after having skin cancer and discharged from The hospital / told by a dr at this practice that I didn’t meet criteria to be referred back to dermatologist to have a mole I was concerned about checked. Had to go to walk in centre as was really ill at beg of year / absolutely amazing - drs thorough and despite wait was diagnosed and sorted with medication. Told to go back to own GP if condition didn’t clear for more meds. Tried to do this and was refused appt and more medication!!!! They are still sending some perscriptions to their onsight boots chemist which closed early last year 2023 - meaning delays to medications.

Review titled Bad administration
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Sally Curran - Posted on 06 December 2023
My partner passed away suddenly in Jan 2023 aged 51… myself and the life insurance company have contacted this surgery on numerous occasions to send the medical records over to them so we can get the morgage paid off! But keep getting no where with this ! And getting palmed off with we will call when done! Should have been done months ago!…As I am not only grieving the lost of my partner I am struggling to pay the morgage as it is on my own! Nearly a year down the line and still nothing! This has affected my mental health profoundly… you should be ashamed of yourselfs the pain and stress you have put me through regarding this situation very unprofessional to say the least!

Review titled Awful service provider.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Abbie - Posted on 09 October 2023
I am struggling with my mental health and need to arrange an appointment for therapy and antidepressants. The phone lines are always soo busy and automated response of “we’re too busy to take your call right now please try again soon”. Also, the online appointment booking system never has any availability so i am unable to get an appointment or to even express my concerns. Absolutely awful waste of time paying taxes if you cannot be given the service we pay for.

Review titled Awful experience everytime
Rated 1 star out of 5

Getting an appointment is the first task, then you arrive on time to be sat waiting for 45mins+. Every single time the appointments run late even when I've had the first appointment of the morning I've never been seen on time. Reception staff are rude when asked about the delay. Once in the appointment you see a member of staff that cannot even prescribe your tablets so it's another wait for a Dr to prescribe then I was told it would be sent to one pharmacy and instead it was sent to another so you then are sent on a wild goose chase trying to find your prescription. Avoid!

Review titled Rude rude rude!!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 June 2023
I absolutely hate having to use this surgery! I’ve never had a good experience. On the very rare occasion I need an appointment or something from them it’s an absolute mission every single time. Just spent a good 30 mins waiting in a queue on the phone to find out that all routine appointments have gone for the month, and I’ll need to phone back the next morning to try again so that’s another 30 mins wait tomorrow to probably be told the same thing. They then put the phone down before I could even answer or ask a question. Rude!! Common courtesy costs nothing. Why do us hard workers pay a fortune in national insurance every month and then can’t get an appointment on the odd occasion we need one? Absolute joke! I’m not surprised there are constant reports of emergency services being over-run when you can’t even get one appointment with your GP within the entire month!

Review titled Good luck getting an appointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Steve - Posted on 31 May 2023
After seeing the nurse fairly regularly, approx once a year, to get my ears syringed, they’ve now told me, I must first see a doctor to confirm I don’t have an ear infection before I can make an appointment with the nurse and this is the new process. After trying for over an hour to get an appointment and the initial ‘were too busy, call back later’ message, I’m now in the queue… please tell me how the doctor will see if I have an infection, if he can’t see anything due to the build up of wax?… which is why I’m trying to get them syringed in the first place! I suspect the practice gets paid by the number of people on its books, rather than how many patients they actually see or help. After finally getting through and speaking to someone, their first ‘routine’ appointment is in about a month!, if I need to see someone sooner, they said to call again tomorrow and go through the whole stupid rigmarole again!!
