Review titled Terrible waiting times
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 September 2023
I was on hold for over an hour for the prescription service and the phone was hung up on me. The is a short window of time for calling for prescription which is unreasonable.

Review titled So unsafe
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 August 2023
I called at 8am on the dot for an appointment because I have a breast lump!! I waited on hold today for an appointment for 58 minutes and only to be told you don't have any appointments and i cannot pre book for another day, They do not even offer e consult anymore I work as. A clinician in a Gp surgery so cannot cancel on patients and drop everything for the rare appointment they do have to offer with no flexibility! I called for. A breast lump because I’m scared I have cancer and desperately need to be seen! Absolutely pathetic! Hope CQc shut it down! It’s already rated inadequate

Review titled Absolutely terrible

Biggest problem with this place is the receptionists, they have horrible attitudes towards the people they are meant to be helping. Practice manager no help either she lets them do what they want.

Review titled not so great practice
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 May 2023
i think gp should allow a patient time to ask a question??? I notice when i tried to ask something the doctor states not time? or let me just write this? then you ask? doctor times up?? so gp was not prepared to listen to any of my concerns or even time for me to ask a question regarding a blood test as to what it testing for? so very sad really they do not seem to find time to inform you why they are do you a blood test as much yes, for the tablets they just issued you? but never tell you what they testing for? because you can not ask why? they say times up? so please listen to your patients, tell them why your giving blood test and what your testing for? then i would not have to goggle and realise it is a risky tablet you issued me? i want to know why has a patient, i want my GP to listen... allow me to ask questions give me an extra five mins after all you keep me waiting 20 mins late to what my appointment was meant

Review titled Keyworker unable to book appointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 May 2023
Get a text on 28/4/23 to book appointment to review my BP. Was told by doctor to book face to face so he can also review my medication and result of a blood test. So I ring today and was told I need to phone at 8am in the mornings. I told them that I am at work and I’m unable to call. And when I have called before that I’m waiting in a queue then to find all appointments gone. There is major concerns about this surgery. Unable to get help that you need.

Review titled disappointing practice
Rated 1 star out of 5

email for e-consultant link as had blood in urine and ask for advice or regarding seeing doctor or nurse, email me back and stated they removed it for the best interest of safety and patient??? only used for sick notes e.c.t.... and told just to keep ringing up from 8am to try get appointment. spoke to practice manager again no advice given regarding blood or hub number or what to do, as well as dealing with a complaint i had about a gp?? manager never listened sadly, not given patients the choice if they found better making appointments on?? it was change a week ago..... so now i been ringing and 39 in que? so taking away on line appointments has hindered the patients more so the variable, elderly, disability, well being, for these who can not Offord to keep on phone, manager mention someone who deals with my c.o.p.d, medication will contact me?? this not relevant to the blood in my urine , i did mention i not uncomfortable, but feel mu urine needed to be checked, again not one bit of advice in the email or over the phone.... Now i ask myself removing the on line appointment, or e-consultation was it for the interest of the GP surgery it self has patient never had a choice , so now are suffering.... you can not email practice manager has all receptionist reads and sees?? so not confidential... i understand covid played a big role, but we are back to normal and i feel it is used now as an excuse to most medical practices ... But for this GP practice to remove on line and e-consultation not informing patients by text or letter is terrible, now we suffer... the point of this at least GPs can read see images to decide weather appointment is needed or direct patient or advice patient what best to do?? i got copies of the email not been given advice and a witness regarding phone call no advice given not even by practice manager

Review titled Rubbish new management
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Sandy D - Posted on 18 April 2023
Today I find out that the only way to get an appointment is to call in the morning. No more pre booking in advance or no more online appointment can be made. Only in the morning so if you have children like me you have to choose between taking kids to school or actually trying to get an appointment for not urgent illness, for example I needed repeat test done but can’t be done because cannot get dr appointment. Absolutely rubbish no good surgery. Really thinking to leave this absolute careless place, I can’t even call it doctors surgery.

Review titled Not acceptable
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 April 2023
After being told to call back in the morning I was in a queue being number 50! 1 hour and 40 minutes later told no more appointments available for today!! How is this acceptable? Why cant we go back to booking online? Even an appointment booked for however long in the future is better than no appointment at all. I was not offered an alternative Receptionists are very matter of fact there is no empathy or offer of a suggestion on what to do next I get the impression they are smirking I have been with this surgery since a small child and am seriously deciding what to do for the best, I just want to be able to at least book an appointment it isnt much to ask from a GP is it?

Review titled New Management Same Issues
Rated 1 star out of 5

So you can't pre book anymore, not helpful when at 8am you're working , more chance of a lottery win to be honest, I have rung and gone through the queue only for it to ring and ring and then ring a bit more without answer, if you do get through and get an appointment how are you meant to get there drop everything and leave work, absolutely no help for working people or those with children, do they expect you to take a day off in hope more than expectation every time. Only got one by moaning by email and then had to go all the way to Dagenham for it. Had routine bloods done, got a text saying book an appointment for somebody to call, 10 day wait for that too
