Review titled Very disappointed
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 August 2024
Extremely disappointed with trying to book an appointment. Have tried on numerous occasions to book an appointment by phone and still with no success. It either says the line is busy or I'm kept on hold for so long that I can't stay holding for any longer. I have had loose bowels including diarrhea and occasional blood in the stools and feeling a lot more tired than normal for 3 months now and am getting quite worried about it. It is hopefully nothing serious as it could be a number of reasons that is causing it but it's so frustrating that I haven't been able to book an appointment to get it checked. Surely there must be an easier way of being able to make an appointment by phone.

Review titled Unfortunately very disorganised
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by SULLIVAN - Posted on 26 June 2024
I require regular treatment for cancer on a 3 weekly basis administered at the practice. Not for the 1st time my appointment has been cancelled and I’m told there are no others available this week. The surgery should be well aware of what my treatment is for and I am left anxious and stressed waiting for them to sort out how I get my medication administered. This is not supportive for cancer patients. Dealing with cancer is bad enough with having no support from your local surgery. Abysmal organisation

Review titled No available appointments
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 November 2023
I had a follow up appointment already booked, the existing medical problem had become much bigger and much more painful so I rang 8.30 in the morning to ask if I could bring my existing appointment forward by a few days as I was struggling, was told there were no appointments available.

Dear Patient, I am sorry you were unable to get an earlier appointment. We do release appointments daily, I would encourage you to please try again. Sadly four patients have not attended their GP appointments so far today which could have been made available had they been cancelled.

Review titled Does any one open emails ?
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 November 2023
After hanging on the phone for ages, I sent an email noting concerns about my father’s medication, supposedly I would have a response in two/ three days absolutely nothing, I tried again, have a guess I am still waiting. At least have the decency to respond, leaves me with little confidence. Both my parents are in a care home in Minehead, whereas the medication is sent to Taunton? I live in London and feel powerless, one thing you like to be able to have faith in is the doctors.

Had an asthma attack on Thursday so followed my asthma action plan as suppled by Minehead Medical Centre. Did everything my end but couldn't get an appointment to see anyone within 24 hours which is their action. Receptionist is doing triage?

Review titled Excellen service
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Chris Blackwell - Posted on 31 January 2023
I have check ups every 3 - 6 months and also needed to see a medical practitioner for a different issue. Yes you do have to wait at least 30 mins to get through on the phone but once contact made I find the staff helpful, friendly and able to offer a appointment within an acceptable time.

Review titled Complete waste of time
Rated 1 star out of 5

I am not sure why practices like this receive any funding from the NHS as they make it practically impossible to get an appointment...and then will no doubt berate a patient for not seeing them earlier when an illness does happen. There is no ability to book for appointments coming up, just a daily scramble/lottery on places for the day, quite how they expect anyone to plan their day around this ludicrous state of affairs is beyond me. Save your time and energy, simple go elsewhere if possible.
