Review titled Not great
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 May 2024
Whenever I try to book appointments online it always says no appointment available. It’s been a week I’m trying to get an appointment. They have fixed time to call to book an appointment. At my work place I’m only allowed to use my phone at my break time. I have told the receptionist so many times that I can’t call you at this time but than she says book online & online there’s never any appointment available which is so annoying. By the time we get the appointment our problem is solved. They should have two different timings to book an appointments one in mornings & one in the evening. They need to improve their service.

Dear patient, I am sorry that you had a reason to complain. We understand that it is not always possible to book an appointment at a preferred time, despite our efforts to ensure fairness and accessibility. At our practice, we offer a range of booking options to accommodate patient needs. You can book a GP appointment by phone starting at 10am, or online at 10am. We choose this time to try to accommodate as many patients as possible. I.e. it allows patients to begin their day and seek permission from employers to make a call/go online or return home from the school run etc. To further enhance our services, we have implemented an online triage system, Klinik, that allows you to complete a form detailing your medical concerns which is reviewed within 48 working hours. This convenient option enables you to submit your request at your own pace, from the comfort of your own home any time during the week except for Saturdays and Sunday Mornings. Please see the provided link to our online consultation website: https://access.klinik.co.uk/contact/boleyn-medical-centre If you have any further questions or concerns regarding our appointment system or services, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are committed to providing excellent care and support to our patients. Kind Regards Deputy Practice Manager

Review titled Worst GP Ever
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 March 2023
Never get an app, every morning at 10am I’m on the phone waiting to make an appointment, after waiting in the line over an hour line cut off, when I call back and waited again over an hour just to know they don’t have an appointment. I wish Doctors or management should take those in investigations, surely something wrong , it can not be right . Far worse then anyone can imagine how poor this GP is , I wish I have never join them .

Review titled Late telephone call by doctor. Waiting time on call to gp.
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by W.M. - Posted on 23 February 2023
Usually I receive calls on time but this time waiting time was more than 2 hours I had a telephonic appt at 9.20 am but I didn't receive call till 11.00 pm so I called the gp reception and I was in queue no 4 and until 21 min I was still on No 4. I hanged up and tried again but then I was on No 5 and kept on hold for another 29 min until I spoke to a receptionist. I complained her that I had been waiting since 9.00 am as we had to ready b4 appt time because dr can call anytime. She told me that the doctor tried but I was not available. I mentioned her that I kept both of my landline and mobile phones with me. At last I received the call at 12.07 pm When I checked my voicemail there was a call from gp while I was on hold. And now I checked my gp records it was note from the doctor that she called me but there was no response from my side. This upsets me a lot that I had to wait for 3 hours for the call and blame was also given to me for not giving any response.

Dear WM I am sorry that you was contacted late for your appointment, we try to give an average contact time of 1 hour either side of the appointment time, but unfortunately there are occasions when this is not possible. As practice protocol, if there is no answer when clinicians try to make contact they will leave a note. This is not to pass blame but to record that an attempt was made. In regards to waiting in the queue, I am sorry that you had to wait but again some calls take longer than others to manage which can lead to increased waiting times for others in the queue. As you have mentioned, you are usually contacted on time, I am sorry that you were not on this occasion, it is not our intention to keep patients waiting. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we will discuss this in our practice meeting.

Dear Mrs Mohamed I am sorry for your experience. I believe your appointment was booked online, there is a message that explains patients should expect a call approximately 1 hour either side of their appointment time, and I can see that the doctor called you within this time frame. Unfortunately we cannot give an exact time as clinicians are dealing with many different types of queries and some may take longer than others to deal with. It is not the clinician's intention to keep any patient waiting. I am sorry for the confused explanation regarding calling you from the receptionist, at least 2 attempts are made to contact all patients with booked telephone appointments. I will speak to all staff so that we can all learn from this. Thank you
