Review titled Great Practice Poor Receptionsit
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 November 2023
Recently visited the surgery, Doctors great but the receptionist was very abrupt and borderline Rude. I witnessed 2 patients being told in a very abrupt manner that there was no help available at the surgery at this time. One of them being a very elderly gentleman, who was clearly distressed.

Review titled Excellent meds. review
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mr Richard Ayling - Posted on 06 July 2023
: I was sent a text to fill in an e consult form to trigger my annual medication review. I received an answer by e mail within 24 hours and a booked phone appointment about a month later. The phone appointment took place on time and was very thorough. The clinician was well informed about my medical history and we had a very helpful telephone consultation about which medication I should be taking. The whole process was efficient and reassuring and I am very satisfied with how she handled the conversation in a both friendly and professional fashion. Exemplary. Many thanks.

Review titled Huge improvement
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Sarah Tysoe - Posted on 19 April 2023
Have to say my recent experience with a recurring problem over past 6 weeks has been very positive - each time I have had to go through the e-consult process I have had a call back the same day and also seen the Doctor the same day who has been extremely thorough and helpful. Cannot thank Greenmeadows enough for support and care over a difficult patch. They have gone out of their way to be helpful and its such an improvement over past experiences there which have at times been frustrating. Good service.

Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Ria - Posted on 04 April 2023
I normally have a call for the last 6+ months for controlled medication. This was due today unfortunately I recieved no call after few phone calls discovered the person due to call me was on hoilday therefore I didn't get my 4 weekly medication.I am totally disgusted being treated this way as a patient!I finally got a out of hours phone call from a doctor to grt a emergency supply from Brants Bridge. But this is by no means acceptable! Therefore I am seriously considering changing my surgery!

Review titled Issues resolved with care
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Zoe Lockett - Posted on 14 January 2023
Having had a poor experience with getting test results and booking an appointment the assistant practice manager called and took real ownership of the problems. Everything was dealt with personally and credit where credit is due it is all sorted out now. Issues happen, it is how they handled that makes me think this is a practice worthy of a good rating now.

Review titled Can we help you Greenmeadows?
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 April 2023
I know all GP surgeries are suffering from challenges and a lot may be due to shortage of GPs but patients are finding it difficult to access the care they need. We, the patients, can't see what is causing the difficulties. We might not have spare GP's but within our community there are a lot of people with differing skills, some which may be prepared to help the Practice which plays such a critical role in our community. Is there something the community can do to support Green Meadows or help in some way? Is there Patients Representative we can reach out to to discuss?

Review titled Absolute Joke
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Lisa Michelle Massey - Posted on 06 December 2022
I find this surgery horrendous. 8 weeks ago I was suffering an acid stomach issue and could only get a call from them in two weeks and on the day of the call they decided I needed a face to face appointment. The only day they could give me I was out of the Country so basically told tough luck. I actually sat at the end of th phone and cried I was so fed up. Today I requested a prescription for beta blockers for anxiety and told I couldn't have them but not even offered an appointment or call. Just told to fill in online and then you get told the doctors will contact you within 24 hours. You know at this point you will be lucky if you get a call within two weeks which is pointless when you have run out of your medication. For someone that suffers anxiety this lack of help just makes things worse and gives you more worry. I cannot believe that this customer service is being allowed there are so many horrendous reviews of this surgery.

Dear Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to post your comments and we are sorry that you have had cause to provide this feedback, which we take seriously and welcome any opportunity to improve our service. Use of the e-Consult or another alternative online system is part of the GP contract. Compulsory digital services in General Practice are part of the government’s Digital First Primary Care agenda for the NHS so there is no escaping an increased involvement in IT when accessing GP surgery services. We launched e-Consult in December 2021 due to the increasing demand and the overall aim of e-Consult was to encourage patients to use the service in a responsible manner with the hope that it would reduce the level of phone calls coming into the surgery, thus enabling our reception staff to help other patients in need. All online e-consultations are triaged by our Acute Care Team to ensure that we give priority to our most unwell patients rather than using a ‘first come, first served’ process. Your e-consultation was received and triaged on the same day, and a GP consultation was booked for a week later. The GP felt it prudent that that you had a Face-to-Face appointment based on your symptoms and this was booked for a couple of days later. You were subsequently called by the GP on the date of your initial consultation as you had confirmed that you could not attend the Face-to-Face appointment that had been booked, this telephone call resulted in an onward referral. Your second e-consultation was to request medication which required a consultation with a GP due you not having requested this specific medication for more than 12 months and you received a text message the same day confirming an appointment 6 days later. The response patients get when submitting an e-consultation is automated and sent from the e-consult website telling you that the Practice will respond within 24 hours, not that a GP will contact you within 24 hours, getting the text message confirming the details of your consultation is the Practice’s response to your e-consultation. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, then please contact the Management Team.

Review titled Really poor service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Zoe Lockett - Posted on 12 January 2023
I had some tests done back in September and after several months of chasing for some sort of news I have finally been told by Frimley that my GP needs to go over the results with me. Why they have a results section on the app remains a mystery that only Sherlock knows the answer too. Greenmeadows have apparently looked at the results but decided not contacted me at all, so thank you for 4 months of worry and still no conclusion. I've now tried to book an appointment to see the GP to get my results and understand the practice has to use econsult for appointments, but it saying the service is not available after 1pm, which is not helpful when you go in at 1130am and still cannot book an appointment. Hands down worthy of a minus rating.
