Review titled Impressed with service
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Julia - Posted on 02 October 2024
I wanted to send in a review of the positive experience today from the surgery and pharmacy next to the surgery. I telephoned early this morning with an health concern - the receptionist arranged for a doctor to telephone and within 20 minutes I had spoken to a doctor. He sent a prescription to the pharmacy & this was collected within two hours of my initial telephone call - excellent service from both. Thank you!

Review titled Long wait in waiting room
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 31 October 2024
Everytime I have brought my son with additional needs in for an appointment we end up waiting quite a while to be seen. Today we have been waiting over 30mins. It's not easy at all especially if my son has autism he gets very agitated and restless. Even if someone could come and Inform us how many people are still waiting before us we could pop out and come back in.

Review titled Dreadful wait times
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 July 2024
Wait time of over 3 weeks for a "call" back appointment, which will probably then need a face to face. Absolute waste of time for something that could be looked at and diagnosed in about 5 minutes

Review titled Gets worse by the week
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 June 2024
They have now successfully made it impossible to speak to anyone. Firstly you have to listen to an outdated 90 sec message warning of covid and staff abuse. It has taken them nearly 3 days to process a repeat prescription this surgery is the most unwelcomeing place I have been to there is no one manning the reception no one to push things along and they all work at there own pace doing there very best to divert you away from seeing one of the many Doctors working there the waiting room has the atmosphere of an institution with a capital I. On my recent visits the place is deserted including the reception and it makes you wonder at what capacity there working at. Now after trying to get through today they have introduced an automated system to further distance themselves from there patients. Something needs to be done here, you would not put up with this service anywhere else.

Review titled Zero care
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Steve - Posted on 16 April 2024
Just been told I have to wait a month just for a telephone appointment. What a joke. I have ongoing problems that need sorting so I can go back to work. I am never notified of test results and feel totally excluded uncared for.

Review titled Why can't I see a GP anymore
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 April 2024
1. Recorded message hasn't changed since the pandemic and is very long and unnecessary in my opinion 2. Asking patients to send photos of conditions is not a positive experience or useful, in my opinion. 3. Why can I not have a face to face appointment anymore? Other practices offer this. 4. I missed my phone appointment today as was called at 8.10am! Was then sent a text to say I would need to call the surgery again if I needed an appointment. 5. The reception staff are friendly and try to help, but I am left feeling disillusioned and frustrated by the difficulties in getting to see a doctor. I have been a patient at this practice for over 20 years but since the pandemic, feel that photos and phone calls are standard.

Review titled Lovely nurse, so reassuring.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 March 2024
I came today and was really nervous about my appointment. The nurse could not have been more reassuring. Having been many time previously for this ive never really understood it, however she sat down and talked me though it all and explained in details. After that the appointment felt easy. She was so lovely and reassuring, can’t thank her enough.

Review titled Fast and effective
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 July 2023
I had an infected toe whilst on holiday in the Isle of Wight. I contacted the surgery and a doctor rang me back after 10 minutes. He arranged for a prescription to be sent electronically to the chemist in Bembridge, Isle of Wight. An hour later the prescription was ready for me to collect. How amazing was that! Well done Fountain Medical Centre.

Needed consultation with doctor due to infected toe. Couldn't get an appointment for a few days so I phoned the purple number 10 to 3 and managed to get in same say. The phone receptionists and doctor showed empathy and care.

Thank you for providing feedback however Fountain Medical Centre does not have a purple number and I feel your kind comments were meant for another provider. Thank you
