Review titled Excellent service & fantastic staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 14 October 2024
Unfortunately I have recently had a passing in my family. I contacted the doctors surgery to obtain a death certificate as there seemed to be different information being given. The receptionist passed the phone to her manager which was a very polite man. He explained everything in detail about what I had to do and that they would reach out to me as soon as they had completed their side of things. They had finished what they had to do in the next few hours and I got the death certificate that very same day. Thanks a lot to everyone and thanks to the management for getting things done so quick.

Review titled Impossible to get appointments
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 March 2024
Gave up trying to obtain an appointment with the doctor. Saw the nurse instead, who is very helpful and caring. She could not diagnose what was wrong so she made me a phone consultation for the next day with the doctor! Was advised to make a face-to-face appointment in 4-6 weeks if my condition did not improve. It has not and it is impossible to get an appointment as they have to be booked at 8am in person, via phone or via the app. You can’t get through on the phone and all the app appointments are never there!

Review titled New Registration taking ages
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 February 2024
I recently moved to the area. Thought I'd register at this practice. Been waiting almost 3 weeks for them to get back to me. The NHS website said someone will get back to me within 2 days. Three weels later I'm still waiting to be registered and I'm practically out of my medication. No one answers the phone and the Evergreen Life app is broken. Who do I escalate this to ? I need my medication.

Review titled Very bad practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Daniel Aramide - Posted on 04 March 2024
After 17 years at the practice i finally left for another practice due to the difficulties in getting appointments to see a GP. Late January 2024, I went to the surgery to book an appointment to see a doctor and was told that i can only book an appointment through Evergreen app which i immediately downloaded but still unable to book an appointment. The app had always displayed no appointments available. I then went back to the practice and was told that the app was the only venue to book an appointment. This attempt of mine to book an appointment had taken about 5 days without success. Since 2021 the practice had lost focus on their primary purpose for their existence ie patients care. I have now left the practice to a more patient-focused care practice which Rainham Health Centre failed to display.

Review titled Unprofessional and bad attitude to the patients
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 December 2023
This is one of the very best unprofessional and uncare healthcare centre where staffs lie to the patients. Staffs lack compassion and care your health or yourself. You can never get appointment as they don't pick calls if you managed to get them sometimes after an hour you just realised it waste of time. My boy was removed from GP without any notification and upon calling them, the staff was very rude and lack of compassion and full of attitude.

Review titled Awful surgery
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 February 2023
Terrible availability of appointments, needed an appointment quickly and I have to wait 4 weeks to have a phone consultation. Whenever I ring the surgery, noone ever answers the phone - I end up calling all day! For an emergency call, we are supposed to ring at 8am yet when I call the line gets cut off continuously, this has happened several times. What do they expect us to do? Self diagnose or allow the condition to worsen before being seen? This has been an ongoing problem for several years..... If I could I would give it a 0 or minus rating.

Dear patient, I am sorry to learn that you have ongoing problem with obtaining an appointment. we have emergency appointments everyday but usually they gone within few minutes as patients wait outside the surgery before 8am . I would be grateful if you could arrange an appointment with myself to discuss this matter further. Practice Manager
