Review titled Needs reviewing their care of disabled patients and carers
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Carer - Posted on 13 September 2024
My disabled son usually seen once a year for bloods and review - recently had call as his carer for me to do his height weight and blood pressure and behaviour issues etc then go in link to do review myself - where is duty of care ? Then after holding on for 40 minutes told no appointments but I could go to walk ins !! Why are they only open 4 days for appointments and not 5 to enable patients who have been with them over 40 years to get appointment!!!!

Review titled Terrible service
Rated 1 star out of 5

Firstly, GPs at this surgery are fantastic, can't fault them. However receptionist staff are rude and intrusive. Every time I phone the surgery they want to know specifically what is wrong with you before they 'decide' you can have an appointment. What happened to patient confidentiality? I was particularly upset with the way I was treated when I took my daughter to surgery Jan 2023. I was told to put on a mask or I would not be able to see a doctor in surgery. No other patient in the waiting room had one on nor did any member of staff working behind the reception desk, which I have no problem with since covid is now something we have to live with. However, I felt singled out; my anxiety levels raised tenfold as I do not like confrontation but felt I had to question why me?? The enforcement of mask wearing in surgeries was dropped sometime in June 2022 so I'm not sure why they are continuing with this regimented way of practice. Because of this hostility, I have put off a cervical screening appointment which was due sept 2022. I have been online to make a formal complaint to the practice manager but there is no email option for this. Instead it invites you to speak to reception which is entirely the issue!!
