Review titled Used to be good
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 June 2024
Trying to get a face to face appointment is almost impossible, after requesting a face to face with a GP got a telephone consultation. After around a 3 week wait I waited for a call with no success, only 2 voicemail afterwards. Turns out there is an ongoing signal problem in the area. Had I got a face to face appointment in the first place this wouldn’t have been an issue.

Review titled Great Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 June 2024
I waited probably 3 weeks for an appointment and understand this is unlikely any fault of the people working there. I was was seen within 30mins of my appointment which is totally acceptable. The doctor was great and the receptionist was very efficient and polite. Top marks for the people!

Review titled Poor service and care
Rated 1 star out of 5
by A Smith - Posted on 23 April 2024
I attended the practice in January 24 regarding a potential congenital heart problem. After having tests I waited for any follow up but to no avail. The Ask My GP service is usually switched off in under a few minutes and recently is permanently offline. You are directed to call the practice but your calls are cut off. The lack of a follow up is causing worry and anxiety

Review titled Left in the dark
Rated 3 stars out of 5

I had a prostate physical examination with a Doctor on 4/1/23 and a PSA blood test the day after. The Doctor said he would text me with the results but this did not happen. The results were on line on 6/1/23 showing a PSA of 1.6 but I do not know if this is good or bad and I am getting a bit stressed not knowing if I need any further tests or investigation. I first tried to ring but this was unanswered I then contacted the email address on the site for the practice manager but this came back stating she no longer works for the practice. I then emailed the address given on this reply but this has not been answered. I have since had a reply using an email address (not the one published on the site) and was told that my message has been passed to the Doctor, but I have not yet had a reply from the Doctor. Please note that I am deaf and talking on the phone is a big problem' could you please reply if you feel fit, by email I am trying to avoid avoid having to escalate the issue to the commissioner.

Review titled Issues still not resolved
by blueqb53 - Posted on 08 January 2024
Most of the appointments I have recently attended were delayed around 30 min and more. Issue with palpitations raised a year ago and still not resolved - awaiting response. The car park is mainly for staff, with very limited space for patients.

Telephoned surgery to ask for antibiotics was told to go on my GP explained I could get on as it closed within 5 minutes of opening receptionist finally agreed to send a message to GP for me. I have been waiting 4 weeks for them to prescribe antibiotics and infection is now so bad in constant pain and bleeding.

Review titled No Clue
Rated 1 star out of 5

They never seem to have any idea about anything linked the NHS especially vaccinations, the receptionists are so unhelpful, dismissive and rude and they often make very distressing circumstances and situations much worse thanks to their attitude. They do the actual healthcare staff a massive disservice.

Review titled Sadly, this is no longer a functioning medical service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 January 2023
Even the basic functions of booking an appointment with a doctor simply no longer work here, at all. If you phone or visit, in the event the phone is answered/ the practice is open, you are directed to the askmygp website to book an appointment, unless you have no internet access. Visiting the askmygp website reveals a message that says "Patients: please go to your own gp practice website. There are no patient services here." meaning the advice to go to the askmygp site is straight up incorrect, and yet still on the recorded phone messages. If you do visit their site, you currently get a message telling you askmygp is currently closed. All this adds up to the simple result that you just can't even use this medical practice as they advise you to. By way of further evidence, the existing reviews here are all met with a clearly copy/pasted message saying "ring the surgery and speak with either the Practice Manager or our Deputy Practice Manager" where you are, again, met with the same recorded message. Even when reviews discuss the difficulty in reaching them by phone. Clearly even the reviews are not being taken seriously. For many symptoms, (for example, confusion, to name just one) this simply means you can't get medical help. Walking into a doctor's surgery is just about managable. Navigating this system of redirection without being able to think clearly is not.
