Review titled Old lady in the reception is extremely rude.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 October 2024
I am writing to express my disappointment with the treatment I received from your reception staff during a phone call earlier today. I called with the intention of scheduling an appointment due to abdominal pain that I’ve been experiencing for almost two months. Unfortunately, the receptionist I spoke with, an older woman, was extremely rude, unaccommodating, and dismissive. As a patient already dealing with pain, stress, and anxiety, it is deeply disheartening and inhumane to be treated this way. It felt as though she did not want to be bothered by my call or take the time to do her job properly. This kind of treatment adds unnecessary distress to an already difficult situation. I understand that working in a clinic can be tiring and stressful, but a little kindness and consideration can go a long way, especially when dealing with patients who are vulnerable and in pain. We, as patients, are human beings and deserve to be treated with respect and compassion. I hope you will address this issue with your staff, as it significantly impacts the patient experience. No one should feel disregarded or disrespected when reaching out for help. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Review titled Above and beyond efforts for patients
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Alicia hasler - Posted on 13 September 2024
I know in these times it's hard to book an appointment with any surgery. What I have found with the receptionists and management is that they really have gone above and beyond to help me with my requests and mental health. I have had a few hurdles this year and I can honestly say that maple house surgery's staff are the most compassionate and helpful in my requests in help and advice and sorting my doctors appointments. I really am so grateful and would recommend to anyone looking for a new doctors.

Review titled Very difficult to get an appointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 August 2024
I am NHS consultant therefore waiting queue on telephone appointment is very difficult as I have to attend my duty. I have clinic daily and on call and service week continuously recently therefore it is very difficult to get time to call and make an appointment . I was told that I need to call 8 am in the morning or book online at 7:30 which is not possible because I have to reach on time to my work. Routine appointment is 2 weeks. There is no other option to book appointment like in other surgery. I have thyroid swelling noticed this week so I need semi urgent appointment . I would appreciate if someone could call me or give me an appointment tomorrow afternoon (I have clinic in the morning in Daventry). Many Thanks, Dr Su Su Hlaing

Review titled Very disrespectful receptionist
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonim - Posted on 20 May 2024
Today I tried from 8 o'clock in the morning to get in touch because my daughter is coughing very badly and vomiting, and when I finally managed to get in touch after 4 hours of trying, when I explained to the receptionist what it was about, she she told me that I have to prebook for the next week or she can make an appointment for me on 23/05/24 at The Mounts. When I asked her if she really didn't have a place available earlier, she hung up the phone. that this thing with the phone being closed is not the first time

Review titled Poor practice
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 May 2024
During my time at Surgery I encountered several instances of incompetence and rudeness among staff members. Firstly, some of the receptionists displayed a lack of professionalism and were consistently unhelpful, with some even exhibiting rude behavior towards patients. Their attitude only added unnecessary stress to an already challenging situation. Furthermore, I have serious concerns about the competency of some of the general practitioners and physio. It was evident that they were not adequately trained or experienced in their field, as their actions during consultations and procedures were subpar and left much to be desired. This lack of competence not only undermines patient trust but also poses risks to patient. As a patient, I expect to receive high-quality care and support from medical professionals, but unfortunately, my experience at your facility was far from my expectations.

Review titled "Rude and Apathetic Receptionist Staff"
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Hortense Y. Ngbapai Bituyai - Posted on 29 February 2024
I am writing because I am not happy about the awful services always by the reception of Maple Access. I can complain neither about the security staff who always welcome patients when enter inside nor the Nurses or the GPs. The problem is always about the staff at the reception. They don´t know how to welcome patients. Today 29/02/2024 was a very bad day for me as I tried to call many times in the morning, but the line was always busy. Last Saturday I went to A&E due to hard pain in my right leg (diagnosed with sciatic nerve attack). I was attended correctly by the Dr. Painkiller was prescribed and Dr told me if the pain was still there, I have to go to my GP. I have been suffering all these days working with pain. Today I tried to call, but that was impossible. I decided to go to Maple if there was a way to be seen by my GP. The staff at the reception first didn´t greet me, but after a few minutes she said, few minutes I will be with you. When I explained my case, she was so rude saying that there are no appointments until 11/03/24. I explained that I was very in pain, she didn´t mind and said I had to call 111 after 6.00 pm. That wasn´t the first time to witnessed the rude way that the receptionist staff gave to patients. It´s a very big shame because I never can complain about the nurses and GPs who were with me each time I went there. In the next few days, I am going to request another GP service. I also work in a hospital, and when our job is looking after patients and supporting them, we never can be so rude and impolite.

Review titled A perfect experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Julie Collins - Posted on 21 April 2023
From making appointment, to the subsequent receptionists, having bloods taken, examination by the doctor and security guards, I can say it was perfect in every way. A very nice environment. The doctor was so nice and thorough and reassuring. The phlebotomist listened to my preference of where to take blood from which although slightly unorthodox gave blood first time and so saved me pain. Professional and warm at every point of my visit including making appointments by telephone. Thank you.

Review titled Receptionists
Rated 1 star out of 5

A nightmare in one word, staff poorly trained, with no respect to people's dignity. Receptionist on the power trip. Forcing people to tell them what's wrong even if its to privat to say and don't understand that some people may not feel comfortable to tell them if that's the new norm for this practices I'm out. Unfortunately I did not see my doctor because of the receptionist team say must tell them what is going on and without an explanation they won't book my appointment. From when they have a right to decide if I wanna disclosure or not ?
