GP’s here are rude, arrogant & dismissive

August 8, 2019
Gp’s are rude, arrogant and dismissive. They don’t listen to you or answer your questions. They spend one eye on the clock and dismiss you as an individual that knows your own body because you don’t have a medical degree.
This surgery is not interested in helping or supporting your health they simply want the money they get for you being registered as a patient. Oh and good luck trying to get an appointment in the first place.

Appauling

Reception staff are very rude and unhelpful. Have to call from 8am for same day appointment always engaged, when they eventually answer around 8:15 there is no appointments left! I have disc protrusion and struggling with mobility and recently released from hospital I called on Monday morning for prescription for pain rekuef, still wasn't done by Tuesday evening, call Wednesday morning to be told to needs me to gp into surgery for face to face appointment (gp is aware I can't make it to surgery), now I'm waiting all day for home visit and that's if they even turn up!!!! The practice is a disgrace

Good service hard to make an appointment. I feel respected staff are nice offer their services and groups. Its not a single practice GP . Nurses take blood pressure. I like the option/choice. Supported me throughout my knee operation. They refer me easily no waiting very helpful.

hard to get appointments

July 30, 2018
Dr's are fine, no problem their.
That's if you can get to see them.
I am not the only person who thinks the receptionist are extremely rude and unhelpful. They carry on a conversation between themselves about what was on tv last night, etc...
They are rude on the telephone and in person.
This is not what you need when you feel unwell or trying to get an appointment for your children.

Can't get a GP appointment

August 21, 2017
We were told by a consultant to get an appointment with the GP to get results. We have been waiting 3 weeks to get an appointment, and we are still waiting. They couldn't give us an appointment within 3 weeks. Told to call at 10:00am but then you can't get through on the phone and you are waiting.

Never any appointments

There are never any appointments and the waiting times are too much. They are very comforting and helpful.

Thank you for your feedback.
We offer appointments at different levels. We have appointments available to book in advance, on line access, book on the day, telephone triage and emergency appointments. We are also part of a federation and can sometimes offer an appointment at West Heath Surgery. We do our very best to accommodate everyone but sometimes this is not possible due to demand and capacity. The amount of appointments that we have at the surgery is also higher than the national average. Sometimes it may just be that we cannot offer an appointment that is convenient to the patient rather than not being offered one at all. However we fully understand any frustrations that patients may have when trying to pre book an appointment,

Delay in review appointment

August 2, 2016
Recently I received a notice from the Medical Centre asking me to make an appointment for a medication review. When I phoned the Medical Centre to get an appointment the only appointment they offered me was just over four weeks away. During my visit to the GP, I mentioned the time delay between the telephone call and the appointment date, to which he replied that 'it was down to funding.'

At the age of 80 years old, time delays of this magnitude are frightening.

Thank you for your feedback.
Although waiting 4 weeks for a medication review seems unreasonable, due to capacity and demand issues we have to prioritise and deal with more urgent cases first. We do our very best to accommodate all of our patients and aim to get them seen in a satisfactory time frame.
Please accept our apologies if you feel that this was not the case.
Regards,
DR Lawrence & Partners.
