Rated 1 star out of 5
by Annoyed - Posted on 06 August 2024
Have tried several times to get an appointment, the triage form seems to close at 9am,even though a doctor told me that was untrue and it was open till 10.30, I leave for work at 8.30 by the time I get to wirk there are no appointments and reception is unhelpful and just directs online, when I googled this doctors has terrible reviews and now I know why.

Review titled Receptionists are not the politest or most helpful
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Kat - Posted on 17 July 2024
I called Bute House at about 11:23 today regarding a follow-up with my doctor. I have been experiencing severe skin issues and was given a steroid cream that hasn't worked. Last night, I was kept up with excruciating itching. Previously, I contacted Bute House at the end of June and was helped immediately as it was a follow-up to an ongoing problem. My doctor knows about my issue. All I wanted was to let him know that the cream didn’t work and I’m suffering. Unfortunately, my experience today was quite different. The receptionist who answered the phone was very dismissive and did not seem to take my situation seriously, unlike the last receptionist I spoke to. The previous receptionist left a message for the doctor, but today’s receptionist had no intention to help me. What made this situation worse was the unprofessional conduct of the receptionist team. While I was on the phone, I heard giggling and laughing in the background. The receptionist answered the call mid-laugh, making me feel like I was intruding. It felt like she wanted to get me off the phone as quickly as possible without addressing my concerns. I felt worthless, and I could barely hear the receptionist due to the chatter of her colleagues. My matter was not properly assisted, despite having a better experience just a month ago. Last time, the receptionist left a message for the doctor, who promptly called me back. That is all I wanted due to the excruciating itchiness and the unsightly appearance of my skin. I am suffering and the online service was not working this morning. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as my condition is causing significant distress and I need proper assistance.

Review titled Appointments
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 May 2024
Was in need of a review of medication on trying to make a appointment at 08.30 via new system page refreshed lost the form o trying 5mins later appointment booking paused. Called surgery no appointments left apparently and to call back tomorrow, no appointments left and they don't keep openings for emergencies Like they used to. This is a bad services, if you only have 10.mins to make a appointment. This online appointment system needs to be revised. This surgery has always been good and I've been coming for over 30 yrs.

Review titled Appointment system awful
Rated 1 star out of 5
by J Johnson - Posted on 11 June 2024
Didn't get a call back for a telephone appointment. Called to request again and told had to go online. Online service reached capacity each time attempted to use, called to try a book non same day appointment but receptionist said had to go through online system. I don't have a problem with triage but having 8am on the dot as the only time to request an appointment makes the service inaccessible for many. It's not an emergency so I don't want to waste A&E time but it's an ongoing condition, the NHS website says I should contact a GP based on my symptoms but too hard to speak to one. If there is a feedback form on the website for the surgery it's well hidden so you can't even make a complaint.

Review titled Appoint Problem with the practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mohammad Arif - Posted on 26 April 2024
I am trying to get appointment for my regular GP. I am told to register on line first. I have filled the details and sent it. Got reply saying send two proof of address. But still no registration. Rang surgery. Fir the receptionist was not interested in talking and then she said send the details again. Told her the details. Then after persuading her she tried to take my my details. She was not concentrating , told her everything tree four times. Answer was. Registration will take two weeks and then till no appointment for you. Told me to go to hospital. This is not acceptable. What a shame. My regular Doctor Is very good Doctor. But surgery appointment procedure is awful.

Review titled Impossible to see a doctor
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 July 2023
The last three times I have tried to call at 8:30 I have sat in hold for at least an hour and a half, just to be told all the appointments have gone. Call back tomorrow and try again. I can't do this everyday as I work. Twice I have tried to get my very unwell child seen, but no. It was more acceptable for them that I call 111 and take him to St. Albans at 11:30pm to be seen. Routine appointment, can see you in a month. Just as well it's not for abnormal lumps or other worrying things. However, copious messages and emails I get sent inviting me to wellwoman clinics, health check clinics, flu jabs, etc. I wonder if so much of the time the doctors have free to run these clinics but not see ill patients is to do with additional funding. It was never like this before, over twenty years a patient here and have never felt so let down.

Review titled Excellent clinic
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Agnieszka Wyżlic - Posted on 23 November 2022
For the first time in a few years I met such Professionals in GP. The doctor was very nice, he had time to talk, explain, advise, the nurses the same and the reception staff is also very nice.
