Review titled Complete waste of time
Rated 1 star out of 5
by patient - Posted on 20 August 2024
This surgery is a complete waste of time Used the internet to book an appointment Someone is supposed to phone in 2 days Now 4 days but no phone call I see the surgery is still taking on new patients They cannot cope with the ones they have This surgery is everything that is wrong with the NHS Just take the money for the new patients and to hell with the old patients I supposer nothing will change though

Review titled Fantastic Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lorraine Brant - Posted on 12 August 2024
I’ve been with Lynwood Medical Centre for 21 years since moving to the area. Today I visited the surgery and booked appts for myself and my husband, collected blood test forms and was helped with gaining access to the NHS Online App! Brilliant, friendly and so helpful!

Review titled How do you get an appointment ?
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 June 2024
Twice i have tried to get an appointment using online booking Complete waste of time No one phones you back It says they will phone in 48 hours , they probably mean 48 weeks I have been into the surgery to try to make an appointment but the condescending reception refused but she did wish me "a nice day" It says in the government website that you can walk in an book an appointment but not here you cannot Absolute disgusting way to run a surgery but then again all the other doctors in Romford are no better The NHS , the envy of the world, you have got to be joking , Even 3rd world countries would not envy the service this bunch delivers

Dear Anonymous patient, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you had poor experience. However for all appointment requests submitted through the internet (using our website link "Contact us online"), the message the patient gets after submission is that "A member of the team will review this request within 2 working days". We review the request within 1 day and we sent a text with link to appointment within 24 hours. I have checked and our data shows that we have contacted every patient who has requested an appointment through internet in the last few days. Since you have posted the review anonymously I can't look into it further but am happy to provide you more information if you contact us with your details. kind regards, Practice Manager

Trying to book an appointment to see a doctor Cannot get through on the phone so try to book through the internet Says they will phone in 48 hours Now over 84 hours and no call I doubt they ever intend to phone just a good way if delaying appointments This surgery needs to be closed down They are accepting money from the government under false pretences

Dear Anonymous patient, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you had poor experience. There is a queue on the telephone during certain times of the day. We do have the facility for you to leave a message by selecting an extension for certain tasks so as to decrease the queue. However for all appointment requests through the internet ( using our website link "Contact us online"), we sent a text with link to appointment within 24 hours. I have checked and our data shows that we have contacted every patient who has requested an appointment through internet in the last few days.

The new layout of the surgery is so much better than the old one. Staff were very friendly and the doctor really listened to my concerns and was able to help me. Also managing to get an in person appointment in 4 days was excellent. Thank you Lynwood!

Dear P Harvey, Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and I'm sincerely sorry to hear about your recent experience at our practice. Your health and comfort are our top priorities, and I deeply regret that we fell short of meeting your expectations. It is essential that every patient feels respected and cared for. We will be addressing this issue directly with our staff in the next staff meeting to ensure that our values of compassion and professionalism are upheld in every interaction. Regarding the lung function test, I understand the frustration this situation has caused. These tests are done using specialised equipment and you should have been clearly informed that your GP can refer you to a specialized clinic where this can be done. I will review our communication procedures to prevent such misunderstandings in the future. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continually strive to improve our services. We are also working closely with hospitals and other healthcare partners to streamline the referral process, making it as straightforward and stress-free as possible for our patients so that you are referred directly and not sent to GP just to be referred. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly if you have any further concerns or if there's anything else we can assist you with. We are here to help and ensure that your healthcare journey is as smooth and supportive as it can be. Thank you for your understanding and for allowing us the opportunity to improve. Warm regards, Dr. G Singh
