really bad

March 31, 2021
because of pandemic they have a triage system where the doctor diagnoses patients over the phone without looking into their history. receptionists relay symptoms to doctor who is there at the reception ready to advise the receptionists who then relay the information back to the patient.
So much can go wrong with this sort of triage system. Simply awful.
Doctors pre covid were just as bad, this particular has a track record of hiring really bad doctors.

Not helpful at all

January 18, 2021
Rang for medication for mouth ulcers and in a lot of pain, was told to call back at 11 for the medication then told to call back at 1 then at 3. When called up at 3 I was in a lot of pain and the receptionist refused to listen and hung up. Upon calling again they hung up again and then Didn’t answer my call. How am I suppose I receive medication if I can’t even speak to anyone?

A bizarre surgery

November 18, 2020
Doctors don't really care. Why does this surgery have consistently bad doctors? Rushed and chaotic time with the doc . One doctor is nice enough but does not quite have the skills required to conduct a compassionate consultation. Its a common theme with this surgery. Would not recommend.

Care is ok

February 28, 2020
Appointments are hard to get. Been with the same GP for nearly 40 years. Care is ok. No real problems or issues. When I needed an emergency appointment I’ve ended up having to go to Hospital A&E or the walk in centre, not good if an emergency because have to wait for ages.

Very poor

They have given wrong information on a number of occasions, staff are rude. They have sent my details to the wrong address and are very poor with care.
