Review titled Flu Jab
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Lynn Williamson - Posted on 05 October 2024
Large numbers of patients were given their annual flu jab speedily and efficiently on Saturday. The queue was long when I arrived but it progressed very quickly.

I had to wait nearly an hour after my appointment time to see the doctor,there was no reason given for this and other patients said this doctor is always running late.I have been with this practice for over 60 years and I have not been kept waiting like this before.

Review titled Rude and unhelpful!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Rob - Posted on 17 April 2024
I registered as a new patient online via their website having recently moved to the area. I note their website now captures the Bobbing area. This was 2 weeks ago. I called the surgery today to request an update, but was told in an abrupt manner that Bobbing is not within their catchment area and to register elsewhere. Charming! Don't be rude to the staff - but they can be rude to you!

Review titled Extremely difficult to get doctor
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by saz - Posted on 15 March 2024
We are continuously calling everyday for the appointment from 3 weeks at sharp 8am morning waiting 30mins with automated telephone service saying you are in the Que, waiting waiting afterward another 35 mins receptionist confirmed that there is no appointment for today. call us next day, this is happening everyday from three weeks. I go personelly as well to speak to them, but there is no help from Receptionist and difficult to speak to them.

Moved here from London where the population is far greater in numbers and so demands on the Doctors far greater but yet we could always get an appointment be it a week later. But here I trued for nearly 5 weeks calling at 8am every morning being 30 or more in the queue only to be told all appointments are gone try again tomorrow and so the cycle gos on day after day .Ludicrous

Dear Patient, Thank you for providing feedback on NHS Choices. At the Surgery, we value all comments, whether positive or negative, as they help us improve our services. Your feedback enables us to investigate and provide necessary training or recognition for our staff. I was surprised to learn that you did not get GP appointment for 5 weeks. This week alone our GP appointment line was open until 10 am, as we had available slots throughout the week. I am uncertain if you attempted to call starting from 8 am this week. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact the Manager so we can address your concerns. Kind Regards, The London Road Medical Centre Aspire Medical Health

Review titled Intimidating
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 January 2024
This surgery is certainly declining rapidly. Had an appointment this week, waiting time compared to other visiits was not too bad, there is a particular doctor there that doesn't rush you and actually takes his time and listens to you so sometimes the wait can be very long. Most people accept this and don't mind as they receive a thorough assessment. This week, totally different story, I met with a new doctor, had literally just sat down and got told in the rudest most abrupt manner 'I've got a room full of patients so only discuss one thing with me!' Now I understamd a 10 minute appointment cant cover multiple issues but I hadn't even said a word and wasn't even about to discuss several issues. Almost just got up and left. Was made to feel like I was a total inconvenience. Rudest doctor had the misfortune to encounter.

Review titled Poor service by this practice
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 November 2023
After arranging an appointment at the surgery 5 weeks ago it was cancelled for the second time an hour before my appointment today. I fine it quite disappointing that the appointment was being cancelled at short notice with no reason why. When asking the receptionist why the appointment is cancelled she said that they are not able disclose this information. I feel the practice should be open with their patients giving the reason for the cancellation.

Review titled Useless cold-call ‘appointment’
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 October 2023
Received a cold-call out of the blue, from an unknown (out of area) number (not my Dr’s) asking about my Diabetes. Thought it was a scam - so wasn’t going to give any personal info. Lady asked if I had any queries - well yes, if I had known about the call beforehand, I would have had a list! I tried to ask about Insulin management, but she had no clue. Have since noticed on my records it was an Annual Review. What a complete waste of time. If I had known about the call I would have given proper answers and had a list of questions ready & it would have been a useful appointment. Just a ‘box ticking’ exercise by the surgery, to show annual review has been done.

Phoned early twice this week. Got appt both times. Was a delay in seeing doctor but you get 100 % from that doctor ( hence the wait ). I feel so lucky to be registered in this surgery. Polite professional helpful caring staff. From reception to GP

Review titled Very disappointed
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 June 2023
Managed to get through to book an appointment today after 18 tries. Very pleased to get an actual appointment. Waited 1 and a half hours. GP basically said the NHS don't cover that service anymore so you'll have to pay privately. It will need to be done every few months for the rest of your life. Causes major issues and I don't have unlimited money to pay forever. Really not great.
