Review titled Disappointing
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 January 2024
I contacted the surgery via the online appointment booking system about a medical problem, which requested me to describe the problem and basically self diagnose. I did this but rather than being offered an appointment with a GP, I was instructed to make a booking for blood tests. I did this, the tests were completed and I checked the results using the NHS app. I have no idea whether the results are normal or not as there was no comment made by the GP on any of the results. It was a total waste of time.

Review titled Good family practice
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Joanne murphy - Posted on 11 January 2024
I have been a patient at chorlton nedical centre for over 20 years I have always found them good and helpful to myself and my children I find they go above and beyond receptionist and medical staff, as the practice has merged with other practices I do find it hard to get appointments but they do offer alternative to send pictures and write message to which a doctor looked at and sent me a prescription to resolve my issue

Review titled Getting better
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 January 2024
I can’t compare with other local surgeries but things have improved since I joined at Corkland Rd 5 years ago. The automated appointment system makes it much more streamlined and there’s no need to wait for the phone to be answered. In the past I’ve waited 45 minutes for an answer. The merger with Chorlton Family Practice is a sensible move. One improvement needed is for appointment information/staff to make it clear where you need to go. I’ve arrived at Corkland Rd and told I need to go to the main surgery and vice Versa. The experience with staff has always been positive apart from one experience in November when the Health Care Assistant on the desk ignored me while she browsed her phone.

Review titled Good doctor, disappointing administration
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 January 2024
There has been confusing appointments situations, where l asked for one 2 one appointment with doctor, given a slip of paper stating it was a telephone appointment, then it turned out to be face to face and patient was waiting telephone. This happened on 2 occasions. If and when the patient gets to see the doctor he is very satisfied with the consultation. Getting through the reception though is a nightmare.

Review titled Medical side fine but long waits
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 January 2024
The doctors and nurses etc are good. I was frustrated that I couldn’t get a home visit when I was very ill and had to get a taxi and try not to throw up in it, but the care I did get was very good. The frustrations lie with the long waits to see a GP (common now everywhere I think) and issues with phoning up. It’s nigh on impossible to get through if you need a same day urgent appointment and there is a recorded message lasting 2 and 1/2 minutes about covid still when you ring up (plus another shorter recorded message).

Review titled Understanding
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Joan Dore - Posted on 11 January 2024
I’ve just joined this practice, and so far the service has been exemplary, I’ve had lots of support after the death of my sister from the staff, and the Gp and others on the team have shown a real interest in my health, and well-being.

Review titled Excellent treatment
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Sharon - Posted on 12 January 2024
As a long standing patient of the practice I can not praise them enough, my recent doctors consultation both addressed my concerns, and referrals were made in good time. The doctor listened to my concerns with genuine empathy, I felt supported and reassured throughout my consultation without being rushed or feeling like a number, great human touch. Really greatful for their support.

Review titled Uncaring GP
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Valerie Kaczurynski - Posted on 04 December 2023
Finally managed to get a face to face appointment with a GP. A locum I believe. Had burning pains in my foot. The Gp did not even look at it, seemed not interrested and Di not ask me any questions other than what were the scars on my foot. When I told him it was a morton neuroma operation, he said and deductedin that case It was likely to be a neuroma and refered me to ultra sound scan. I knew it was not a neuroma as the pain I experience was different. That consultation was a waste if time : no questions, no assessment, not looking at the area and a complete lack of apathy and interrest in patient.

Review titled Terrible practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 14 December 2023
I had blood tests done early November, by the end of November I had heard nothing about the results. I contacted the practice through their website for more information. They sent me a text message with date for an appointment, and another text message with advice on vitamin D supplements. I attended the appointment today and when I arrived the reception staff didn't have any record of the appointment, even when I showed them the actual text message I received. I still don't know the results of my blood tests.

Review titled Appalling booking system
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 January 2024
Over long phone message directing you to do anything but speak to anyone. Website anything but counter intuitive. Quite the worst reception service I have come across. It took me from August to November to get a cholesterol test and result. Both nurses I met with were both very good. Personable and efficient. The process to get to this point, just dreadful and it has got so much worse since the 2 practices merged.
