Review titled Impossible to Get an Appointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 December 2024
You cannever get an appointment to see a doctor, you call them past 8am they say you didnt 8am, you call 8am they tell you no appointment. You can't see your Doctor, I have never gotten to see a doctor since I switched to this surgery. Everytime i call they refer me to call 111 or emergency care. Why can't I get an appointment? No matter how ill you are or sound they don't care one bit.

Review titled Can never get through... can never get an appointment
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 November 2024
Practice Manager needs to reassess what is working for the patients. A lottery trying to get through on the often faulty phone system. Cannot pre-book in advance appointments, why not?? Cannot get urgent appointments with a doctor. Reception staff don't really care how ill you are. Refer you to urgent care and other places. Why oh why can't we get to see our doctor!!

Went on line last night, booked appointment for the following morning. I spoke to doctor they ask for me to come in that afternoon. I came in for my appointment. Saw doctor and antibiotics was sent straight to my pharmacy. Doctor listened to me and was understanding.

Review titled Takes forever to get through on the phone
Rated 3 stars out of 5

Called today was position one in the queue. Took 36 minutes for the phone to be answered at position one. Can never get an appointment with the doctor on the day, no flexibility at all. This practice has completely changed since moving location to Mackintosh Street. Apart from the brilliant staff who have been with the practice years and have fantastic customer service skills and would do whatever they can to help you, the rest just follow the rules. I dread having to call for an appointment with the doctor, that's if you can get one, based on telling everyone your health story. Suffered for a month before having to fill a form in for then only to receive a message to call the practice and try and get through on the phone. The phone system is often faulty, does anyone care at the practice what patients have to go through to get through. Be courteous to your patients as you constantly market to patients that what we should do.

Review titled Impossible to get an appointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Jekaterina W - Posted on 03 June 2024
There is no way of getting an appointment. There is no option any more to book through the app and the phone no longer has a queueing option. You call at 8 to listen to various menus and how you can find help online and then once you finally get to appointments, they tell you we can’t answer the phone, try again later. How is this even allowed? It’s beyond appalling. Time to find another surgery. They send you letters telling you to make an appointment but it’s literally impossible.

Review titled No reply to online form
Rated 1 star out of 5

Couldn't get an appointment as no one answers the phone. Tried the online e-consult service. They say you will hear within 48 hours. It's now been a week and haven't heard anything. The rest of the world had to get back to "normal" after covid levels dropped. Not the NHS.

Review titled Disappointing episode
Rated 3 stars out of 5

I requested a referral to a specific consultant and this didn`t materialize. Today I received a message that I should refer myself via the consultant`s medical secretary. I think this is very bizarre behaviour.

Review titled Impossible to get an appointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by RachEL Quamina - Posted on 26 April 2024
I require examination after a very challenging pregnancy related illness. Mobility is limited I need help with walking / exercising, I am in extreme pain with my back yet I am constantly fobbed off at reception. They will only book appointments for over the phone which is not what I need. Today I tried to book my 5 week baby's first appointment which is due at 6 - 8 weeks at reception, the lady told me "but he's 5weeks" I'm fully aware how old my newborn is I need to book the appointment for 6 - 8 weeks which starts from next week. Now please feel free to contact me and explain why. I am suffering in pain myself and can't get a exam. But not only that but I am not about to book my newborns 6-8 week appointment at his age of 5 weeks as my midwife advised ? I'm sick of this practice! You can't get service, and when you do the doctors are due, receptionist gossip about patients at the desk which I witnessed today meanwhile awaiting the nurse. I am sick of it! Poor service on all sides! I am taking myself and my newborn and registering elsewhere. Do not use.

Review titled Advanced bookings
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 March 2024
I can’t understand why we can’t go back to the pre-Covid system where advanced appointments were available for non-urgent matters. This mad rush at 8am is ridiculous and may prevent someone who needs an appointment on the day from getting one. Other practices have gone back to the old system. And our own telephone ‘blurb’ indicates that you can now book through the NHS app which I have not been able to. So for my non-urgent chronic illness appointments I have to join the 8am dash and redial 48 times!
