Review titled Survey problems
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Jeff Scully - Posted on 26 March 2023
I received a sms text message from +447800007764 which stated ( verbatim ) Paxton Medical Group is collaborating with Imperial College London on a study to investigate the prevalence of social isolation & loneliness. Anyone can be feeling isolated or lonely. Your voice matters -please consider taking this brief (<5min) survey: There was a website address that this software will not allow me to include. I attempted this from my computer and it quickly led to me thinking that this is some form of malware. I will not be making any new attempts until I hear from my GP.

Hi Mr Scully, The message you received for the study on Loneliness is genuine. The message is created by Imperial college London and has been sent to 10k of our patients. You do not need to complete the survey if you do not want to. Apologies for any confusion. Best Wishes, PMG

Review titled Poor Reception
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 March 2023
I am left totally bewildered why the receptionist was so agitated, rude and unhelpful during my recent telephone call. At no time did she express how she could help me. I was just given a barrage of questions in an agitated manner, which was not helpful in any way. Simple question: "Can you advise me of the correct procedure to be registered in your practice"? I am still shocked how unprofessional she was.

Review titled 10 Year anniversary
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Robert Kelly - Posted on 31 March 2023
It's 10 years to the day I returned to the uk after spending 20 years abroad. In those 10 years I have received regular treatment for ongoing and aged related issues. In those 10 years I have never had cause to doubt or complain about the service, staff or anything else. I would like to pass on my gratitude and regards to all the staff a few in particular (can't name them) but just a simple old-fashioned thanks.

Review titled Townfield HC - good location
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Carole Harding - Posted on 13 February 2023
Having been accepted to the Practice in July 2022, it wasn’t until last week (7th Feb) that I finally had a face to face consultation . However, my medical history had still not been received or followed up by the previous Practice Staff. The Doctor was very thorough with his explanations of my condition (s) and the options available. I had a follow up the next day for my treatment option. No2, that’s what I call patient care . Thank you !!

Review titled Not booked by receptionist
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Kenneth Metcalfe - Posted on 07 February 2023
Arrived for pre booked 2pm appt checked in at desk at 1.45pm and booked in, receptionist took my details and confirmed which clinician I was booked with and directed me to waiting room by g4- I returned to desk at 2.45pm as I had another appt to get to for 3.30pm and was still waiting, at this point it was discovered the receptionist had not booked me in on computer and therefore I was sat waiting and the clinician did not know I was there. She rebooked me for 2 days later and I left. The doctor rang me about 4.30pm to apologise and asked me to return to be seen but I could not as I had my grandson with me. Then later that day I received a text to say I had missed my appointment and I should have rung to cancel if I couldn’t attend! Maybe a training issue for the receptionist? Thank you

Review titled Incredible service and people
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 February 2023
Our son has some complex and uncommon needs and this practice (from all of the reception team to all of the GPs and partners) has been amazing. We are so grateful for their help and support and the level of service we have received and continue to receive. The reception team are so warm, helpful and knowledgeable and endeavour to support requests as quickly and effectively as they can. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this wonderful surgery.

Review titled Shocking reception staff - as usual!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Claire Douglas-Fleet - Posted on 19 January 2023
Had a baby in early December, and was advised to register my baby at my gp (obviously). I call the gp and the receptionist explains that they are very busy and that I don’t need to until my 6 week check. Then continues to tell me that the 6 week checks are delayed and will be 8-10 weeks. I asked if I could make an appointment for one now so that it wasn’t late and was told no and that there are no appointments in the new year at all. I call to make an appointment on the 17th January, as my baby is now 6 weeks and I haven’t heard anything. Was told appointments are delayed as usual I will get a letter when it’s my turn. I was then told that my details would be passed to the person dealing with the bookings. The next day I get a text with an appointment. I can’t make this appointment so call to rearrange. The receptionist explains that the gp only works till 11! The receptionist is unhelpful, unfriendly and had absolutely no regard for what this situation is doing to my post natal mental health! The receptionist then tells me that I had a letter sent out in December- which is a complete lie. Not only have I not received a letter, I have never received a text with an appointment time and date and no one has informed me of this fictional appointment when I have called to enquire about Luca and my 6 week appointment. The receptionist then decided to put me on hold and when she comes back she explains that she cant find me any appointment ever! So i am now being threatened with my child’s care - once again! This exact same scenario happened with my daughter and I thought it was just Covid delays and added pressure. But now it has happened again I understand that it is down to bad practice and the terrible interpersonal skills held by your reception team. So to summarise, I have been left with no option to speak to someone about my post natal physical and mental health, check on my stitches, have my child registered, the list goes on. Absolutely appalling service by the reception team again!

Morning Claire, With reference to our telephone call, I can only apologies for the stress and inconvenience that this may have caused you. I have since spoken to our Reception Team to discuss the situation and we will be reviewing all the telephone calls. By now you should have received the appointment and I hope to catch up with you on the day. Kind Regards, Pauline

Phoned up 19/01/2023 for a Doctors Appointment @ 8.30am, I was given a Appointment at 2.00pm the same day and then a follow on physio Appointment the same day at the Claughton Practice. Could not ask for better care from them.

Review titled Expert compassionate care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Deb Liz - Posted on 13 February 2023
My severe asthma was managed by doctors and nurses so avoiding admission to hospital. The staff were very caring and managed the treatment expertly and always with an individualised caring manner. The receptionists and call handlers were very responsive and ensured that I had a call back/ consultation. Paxton medical group is a wonderful team. Highly recommend.
