Called for an appointment for review of prescription and the lovely lady was able to get one earlier for me than the initial one. She was extremely pleasant and helpful. Many thanks

Review titled Worst surgery
Rated 1 star out of 5

Go there at 7:50 to get an appointment when they open at 8. Wait in the queue, only 3 people in front of me, i get to the desk 8:12 as the reception staff are to busy chatting and get told all the appointments are gone and they won't see my daughter. Absolutely disgusting.

Review titled Awful
Rated 1 star out of 5

Despite phoning at 8am on the dot, by the time I got through all appointments for the day had gone and they wouldn't see a child who had been awake all night in pain. We ended up at an urgent care center with a ruptured ear, severe pain and hearing loss.

Review titled Exemplary, professional service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 August 2023
Today I had a face-to-face consultation with one of the doctors at the practice. The doctor sympathetically explored my issues and concerns, addressing them with exemplary thoroughness. She struck a perfect balance between friendliness and professionalism, putting me at ease, treating with me with respect and understanding , and encouraging an openness which facilitated a productive and constructive outcome. My experience today is typical of the treatment my wife and I have consistently received from all the doctors since we joined this practice some 2 years ago, having moved to the area from the north of England. We have also enjoyed the same friendly, professional treatment from the support staff, and we can wholeheartedly recommend the Stockwell Lodge practice.

Review titled Quick Appointment
Rated 3 stars out of 5

On 11 July I went around to Stockwell Lodge to make an appointment for my mum, who has COPD and had developed a chest infection- to my surprise I was told that if I could get her there in 20 minutes she could have an appointment then. Needless to say I got her there.

Review titled Outstanding Nurse
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 July 2023
I came in for an invasive test that I had been dreading for quite some time. The nurse that performed the test was quite simply outstanding, and a testament to the nursing profession. They identified I was stressed, kept me smiling throughout and reassured me afterwards. The level of professionalism, yet kindness was remarkable and Stockwell Lodge are incredibly fortunate to have this person on their team. As I said to the nurse as I left, I couldn't do what people like them do eg. Nurses, but I am so grateful people like them exist to do this job, because I was terrified, yet they were able to keep me smiling.

Dear patient, Thank you for your feedback, I am Emma the Practice Manager. I am sorry to learn that you are unhappy with the care you have received from the practice and I am grateful that you have brought this to my attention. I apologise for the delay in responding to your feedback. The telephone system at this time was not fit for purpose, we were in the process of ending the contract early and moving to cloud based telephony, this is now in place.

Review titled Very poor service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Gary james - Posted on 02 May 2023
I rang the surgery today 2/5/23 to get the results of a chest xray that was done 3 weeks ago I was held in a queue for 45mins after being told I was 7th in the queue when I got to no 1 in the queue I was held for a further 15mins waiting for the results line to answer when the phone was answered I asked why it had taken an hour to answer the phone to be told that she was the only one taking calls this afternoon so in total 1hr 10mins on this call, this is not the first time it has happened it's a regular thing to be on the phone for ages so when your asked to select an option it doesn't make any difference because the same person is answering all the calls this is totally unacceptable the attitude of the staff seems to be it is what it is like I said this is not the first time it's happened even after speaking with the manager it doesn't seem that things are going to improve anytime soon I have been using this surgery since it first opened and it just goes from bad to worse its virtually impossible to get an appointment unless your prepared to queue outside from 07-45 in the morning and take your chances absolutely ridiculous

Dear Mr Gary James, Thank you for your feedback, I am Emma the Practice Manager. I am sorry to learn that you are unhappy with the care you have received from the practice and I am grateful that you have brought this to my attention. My apologies for the delay in responding to your feedback. At the time of your complaint our phones were not fit for purpose, thankfully now we have moved to cloud based telephony. This means that any staff in the building or even at home can pick up calls, this means patients are not relying just on the reception team. Unfortunately staffing is an ongoing issue in primary care both clinically and administrative. We have a relatively high number of appointments available however with the increase in demand these appointments do go quickly. We do however have other means of getting clinical advice or requesting prescriptions/fit notes etc. by means of online requests, you can make these through the website or the NHS App. Here is the link to both https://stockwelllodge.org.uk/.

Review titled Impossible to get through to GP
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 February 2023
I have been undergoing tests for a possible medical condition. After 2 months of waiting for my GP to get back to me about the results, I assumed that all was well, and was surprised to miss a call from them that I was not expecting. So I called the surgery and waited 49 minutes to put through - during which time the GP called me again, so I had to end my call to the surgery, by which time the GP had hung up and left a voicemail asking me to call the surgery! So I called the surgery a second time and got put back to the start of a long queue, during which time the GP called a third time and left a message saying they would not be available for the rest of the day - so I would have to call the surgery to rebook. But when I called the surgery a third time and got put in a long queue yet again, the receptionist told me that as the GP was not available I would have to call tomorrow to rebook, and there was no way I could rebook with them directly without calling the surgery! After two and a half hours of being unable to get through, and with no transport to get to the surgery in person, I am completely stressed out - especially as I have no idea why the GP called me out of the blue, and am now worried about the results. But nothing could be worse than going through this whole procedure again, so I will just have to wait for the GP to call me again - which in the past has also been without warning at inconvenient times, without giving me enough time to answer - and hope that any condition I may have does not get worse in the months that this could take. I thought the surgery would have improved once it was taken out of special measures, but evidently not!
