Review titled Always difficult to get an appointment
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 October 2024
Ring dead on 8.00, can’t get through, ring 32 time and keep getting cut off, only to then be told all telephone appointments and appointments for the day are gone, how? If I ring at 8?

Review titled A complete shambles of a system
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 September 2024
Any attempt to reorder a repeat prescription is now impossible. I have attempted to access the system as I have done for several years and now I am supposed to have information to order using an NHS system but to no avail. No warning or contact from this surgery to help disabled people change to what must be a new way of failing to speak to patients and making life very difficult for disabled and elderly people to obtain this service. The only way now will be to be on hold for an extremely long time when telephoning for medication. Nice one Ashfield, I will look for another surgery who do not keep patients on hold for up to 45 minutes as I recently experienced and there were only 8 other people in the queue and due to the new prescription method this could explain why.

Review titled Horrible service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 September 2024
Hello. I am writing this negative review as I experienced several times unprofessionalism and disrespect. As a patient, any health issue should be addressed accordingly and with respect, however, I have been laughed at when explaining my health concerns by being told “ maybe because you are not exercising enough”. Although I might be young, this doesn’t mean that I cannot be sick or having pain. In addition, today I had an MRI appointment as my condition is getting worse and the clinic told me that they are unable to scan me because the referral papers are out of date. I had to pay for extra hours childcare and for parking to attend this appointment. Furthermore, the clinic advised me to go straight to the practice to inform them about the issue and upon my arrival, the reception lady told me to call the reception number to address the matter without even asking about it. I called the phone number to be told that they cannot answer the call. Horrible service, disrespectful, careless and incompetent.

Review titled Contacting Practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Fiona Ritchie - Posted on 26 January 2024
I was actually invited to contact the practice for a review by text. I can't reply to this text. Have tried to contact as per instructions but cannot get through nor can you access their website - page not found. If you turn up without an appointment you will not be allowed in.

We have checked our listings and you do not appear to be a registered patient with Ashfield Medical Centre in Milton Keynes? Our website is www.ashfieldmc.co.uk and is fully working. Maybe you would like to try again. Regards Ashfield Team

Review titled avoid avoid avoid
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 January 2024
1. Staff members are rude and inadequately trained in customer service skills or anything else for that matter 2. Impossible to get an appointment 3. Phone lines are always busy 4. The General Medical Council should close this center to save lives. Even vets provide more care to animals than this place to human beings. Summary: avoid avoid avoid at any cost. Would like to give 0 stars but that's not an option unfortunately

Review titled Fantastic practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Julie Morris - Posted on 19 January 2024
I phoned reception took a while to get through, but was soon as I did I spoke to the receptionist who then asked for a call from the GP. GP called me and asked my symptoms and got me an appointment an hour later. I have been with this practice for 30 years or more, just there can be a few tweaks done but they are doing their best. The staff are always really helpful and polite.

Review titled Awful Practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 May 2023
Before i start, if the Ashfield Medical Centre wants to reply just like to everyone else saying i am not a patient there, i am, however i want to stay anonymous. This practice has always been terrible. For some of my visits, the doctors have sat right in front of me googling my symptoms and deciding my diagnosis from whatever comes up, i can literally do that at home myself instead of paying for taxi and wasting my time coming all the way there just to have my symptoms googled for me. I come in for help and medicine needed not for google to be used to decide my diagnosis. I had covid a while back as well, i called in for an appointment saying my temperature was 40° and my lungs were burning up, i was struggling to breathe. They told me not to call them unless i am dying as they have “patients who require more help.” Last time i went to the practice was about a week ago, where i have seen their phones ringing, and patients waiting at reception while they are sitting in the staff room, drinking coffee and having a laugh as if there are no patients waiting for help. I was supposed to receive a call today from a doctor as a phone appointment but no one has called or tried to contact me in any other way. I highly do not recommend this medical practice unless you want to be pushed further to your death and being given the impression of “I don’t care.” Can not describe how disappointed i am in this. We pay taxes yet not receive the help we need. And what are the staff even getting paid for? For chatting to each other, having a laugh and drinking coffee? Give us the job there as well then. I’m sure many of us don’t mind coming in for a coffee and getting paid for it.

Review titled Brilliant Service Today
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 November 2022
My Husband came home from his appointment today very impressed with the service he had, quick to get an appointment, extremely helpful doctor, took his issue seriously and professionally. Getting through on the phone is sometimes tricky, but since we have started emailing for an appointment, it has been no problem.
