Review titled shocking as always
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 September 2024
since willows took over there has been nothing but issues at this drs, eg 1. average of 40minutes for them to answer the phone to make an appointment which was strange as standing in the reception when ringing them and watching the 2 receptionists just chat while the phone rings was amusing, when they tried to tell me they were answering the phones 2. rang up for a medication review got sent to an overflow clinic where they asked "so whats wrong with your leg?" then was told they cant do medication reviews at over flow and i must see my gp, thats helpful when the meds for your depression are not working 3. the sarcastic and unhelpful reception staff 4. only work half days as "its only a small surgery our manager said we dont need to stay open" 5. no pre-book appointments so if you work for a living and you need an appointment.. well good luck with that i suppose these are just a few of a long list of issues with the gp surgery if you can avoid using this one do yourself a favor and find another

Review titled Frustration
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Dianne Walker - Posted on 21 December 2023
My husband who has a hearing problem developed an ear infection which he sufferers from regularly. I attempted to arrange an appointment on his behalf and failed twice. I was advised to to ring back at 8am but this is not possible at Pasley Road. My husband called at the surgery and was told there was nothing they could do and he would need to telephone. Out of desperation I rand 111 and a very helpful lady arranged an appt at Oadby walk-in centre the following morning. What is happening with the lack of service. How are deaf people supposed to cope with the need to telephone.

Review titled Cancelled appointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Dianne Walker - Posted on 21 December 2023
On 6th Dec I had an appt for shingles vaccination. On that morning I received a text cancelling the appt as I had been booked in with the wrong clinician and I would have call the surgery to rebook. This I did but was advised the nurse was on holiday and I would not be able to book an appt until January. Asked what I could do and the earliest appt available was at Heathbrook Surgery on 11th Dec the other side of town which I took as I have my own transport. Not at all impressed with service.

Review titled Poor appointment process
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 September 2023
Trying to get an appointment is a challenge big enough to make you ill. I rang at 830 am ( the time it opens) got put on hold, finally answered at 950am but not by my surgery, another one in the group. The option of call back was tempting but preferred to stay on the line. At 950 got offered a 1000 appointment. Sounds good but what if I was unable to get there in under 10min? When I got there, our receptionists ( who are remarkable by.the way), where taking calls from people who wanted to see a doctor, guess what, not from this surgery. Why put a process in place, where by.the time you get through, all the appointments have gone. I've since learned that.the callback doesn't hold your place in the queue either. So use it at your peril. If I ring my GP, I want to talk to that.surgery and 1 on the other side of the city.
