Review titled Awful gp - does not take mental health seriously
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Amber - Posted on 08 July 2024
I recently got the courage to finally go to the doctors about my mental health (I never go to the doctors for anything so to make this appointment means I am seriously suffering) I explained to the doctor that I have never suffered with mental health but the last month I have not been able to leave the house, have constant fear and my personality has completely changed. Straight away the doctor interrupted me and said I need to do breathing exercises and that will stop the anxiety. Never in my life have I felt so unheard. Before visiting the doctors I have been going privately to CBT and doing all I can to try and fix this myself. The doctors was my last resort and this is exactly why I didn’t go to them sooner. After being told all I can do is “breath” I then begged if there was anything else we could do. The doctor then said “I don’t prescribe antidepressants in my surgery, it’s not how I do things”. I had never been so upset. Never have I wanted to be on any type of medication but being unable to leave the house or enjoy life, I thought I would get more support. The appointment lasted 5 minutes and I left feeling more down than when I walked in. The doctor did not care, and did not understand mental health I will never use this gp practice again and I urge anyone suffering with mental health to avoid at all costs I suggest that you train your doctors in mental health and how they can support their patients. No referral for therapy, no talk of medications. Nothing. I am disgusted

Review titled Untrustworthy
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Elizabeth - Posted on 02 May 2024
I left a honest comment on google as I had received a link from the practice. My review was taken down as I had stated the access to a GP was poor as the receptionist have been instructed in their non medical trained 'computer says no' minds to screen your symptoms and direct you elsewhere. Anyone but a doctor. The staff must be working on management instructions as it is rated as excellent. Take the 5star reviews on google with a punch of salt. I fear a patient will come to harm if they are not persistent in getting to see a doctor.

Review titled Use of Zero Tolerance To Silence Patients
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 November 2023
I was asked to use the practice site to write any issues I had with the service I had received. When I did I was told that my expectations were unreasonable and if I repeated the request ( for a more comprehensive look at all my issues at one consultation and not 1 on its own at each visit) I would be removed under zero tolerance policy.

Review titled Poor communication
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 March 2023
I have requested to speak with my GP as a result from a referral feedback, I suffer from a condition that could potentially render me blind and the receptionist isn't listening as it was important I spoke with the GP. Booking centre says there's a year long wait ad my GP has only put in referral as routine, my medication needs reviewing and my previous Ophthalmologist said I must get my eyes checked in ophthalmology clinic eblvery 6months. I'm trying to explain this and receptionist is telling me she'll have to discuss with secretary and get back to me, they do not understand how depressing it is not to be able to get the care that you need at thr right time. These crop of staff need to be trained. If anything happens to me, I will be holding the entire GP and NHS liable and would pursue this to the full extent of the law. I'm on medication that requires reviewing with blood tests, I have previously had this conversation with the GP and I was told they cannot adjust my treatment unless I'm seen by the specialist, same specialist that you have made a routine referral to after waiting for almost 4months.

Review titled Poor practice

Reheating the current medication without reviewing patient's file. The doctor prescribed half of the dose without reason. Poor communication as didn't allow me to discuss with the doctor or even checking the reason with the doctor.

Dear Anonymous Patient, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We always encourage our patients to leave feedback directly with the surgery to allow us to work with you to find a resolution to your issues and improve the patient experience for all. We have not cancelled any appointments due to GP not available. Appointments can be booked at the reception desk, feel free to attend, although most of our patients find calling via telephone more convenient. We do have a clinical waste bin in the reception area which is present to allow our patients to safely dispose of their personal protective equipment such as facemasks. This is an important measure to reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses. Our website is regularly updated. If you are one of our patients and would like to leave feedback directly, please do so via our website. City Road Medical Centre

Review titled Excellent GP Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 February 2023
I have newly joined the practice having had really bad service at my previous GP practice. I have had 3 appointments so far and all have been excellent and all have been on time. I was able to book a future appointment online, which is a great service. The doctors I have seen have been really friendly and helpful. The surgery itself feels calm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this GP practice.
