Review titled Wasn't happy with my last consultation
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Dona - Posted on 24 July 2024
The doctor struggled with english and didn't listen until the end. The first thing she said was 'What do u want me to do?' which I found odd since I had booked the appointment to discuss my ultrasound (it should be self explanatory what I'm expecting from you to do).. Then she asked me if I had acne. When I said no she responded, "okay then, since you don't have any symptoms.." I had to stop her to point out that I do have symptoms, as noted in the previous consultation with dr Arif. I felt like I had to push for solutions rather than being offered them. I had to repeatedly explain my concerns and medical history. Overall, I was dissatisfied with the consultation.. I left the appt upset, the consultation wasn't helpful and I felt that my concerns were not adequately addressed. The name of the doctor I was booked with was dr Shuly

Review titled Never get an appointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Very Bad - Posted on 25 April 2024
i start calling 8.35am, so as we know i was in the queue at 7, then waiting… 9.23am finally my turn came. Now the reception said all the appointments booked for the day.this is first come first go service. I should call 111 or go to hospital. My question is how come after waiting 1 hours they are saying all appointments booked within 5mints. anyway why didn’t they mention it at the beginning they i shouldn’t waisted my 1hour for waiting. Which is really disappointing disgusting unacceptable. i would give 0 star out of 5.very bad go👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Review titled Stressful

Have been with this gp for about 2 years, they are unhelpful in the extreme. Reviews left of poor service are accurate. My experience is negative also, hoping for improvement but know it is wishful thinking. I can give many specific concerns etc but will take very long as are too many etc. Receptionists and gps are OK overall ( trying to be kind as possible) but sometimes have been let down badly with the communication, lack of empathy, knowledge, rudeness etc. Still not receiving face to face appointments, (covid 19 has been declared not an emergency anymore by the world health organisation) hardly any telephone ones available and even emergency ones are over the phone , if anyone lucky to get. Unacceptable. Main reason haven't moved gp yet is many people facing same issues in the area. If the manager or Dr's would like to reply to our concerns? Go ahead and explain and actually improve the situation finally instead of ignoring it all, save the surgery closing before it's too late as seems inevitable

Review titled Poor service

I am a cancer patient i been with this practice for over a year. Every time I call for appointment I never gotten on. I am a cancer patient, i am very sick. On the 3.05.2023 at 8:30 this morning I was on the phone waiting for almost 20 mins. I got given appointment that the GP will call me back between 10 to 14. At 13:58 I called my GP because I haven’t not receive any calls from them. When I called they told me that the Doctor called me at 11:15 which is a lie. I have witness to confirm that is not true. They also said that GP left a message which is not true. This is not the first time that it’s has happened. Bad experience. It’s the lies that it’s unfair
