Review titled Horrible GP
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Inna - Posted on 27 August 2024
I registered my two children at this College medical practice in March 2024, and provided the children's vaccination history in writing. We changed residence and had to register with this horrible clinic. We were previously registered with Bearsted medical practice and were completely happy and satisfied. In July they sent me a text saying they had booked my son's vaccination, date and time. We attended but the nurse refused to administer the vaccine because my son's vaccination history was not on the database. On the same day I sent the document of his vaccination history to the receptionist's email. She confirmed that she had received it. On 10 August, I came to the clinic with my son's vaccination history document and asked to book a vaccine for him as soon as possible. The receptionist scanned the document and returned it to me. She asked me to give her time to enter it into the database On 27 August I came to the clinic again to book the vaccine for my son. The receptionist, a young Arab woman wearing a burqa and glasses, said that they had not yet scanned his vaccination history and she could not book a vaccination for him. She did not say how long it would take for his vaccination history to be entered into the database. She said I had to wait. I have already been waiting since March. Horrible staff performance. Do they get paid for such poor quality work?

Review titled Quick and thorough
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Candyce Brockwell - Posted on 08 July 2024
I used engage consult to contact my GP. The only issue I had with this was when I replied yes to a certain question. I was then directed to call the practice, which I did. This call resulted in being told that I had to use engage consult to enable them to triage my case. This was frustrating and I had to change my answers to leave my notes. Needles to say the GP called me quickly, prescribed appropriate medication with follow up and I was very pleased with the service.

Review titled Wrong date booked, no follow up
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 July 2024
I summited my case thru e-consult and my appointment was 2.5 weeks after that. The first mistake they made was, I received 2 confirmation texts but they showed two different appointment dates. I could only clarify by going to the clinic in person because you can never talk to a real person on their phone line. The second mistake: The receptionist told me that I was going to receive a link to book my blood test. After a week, I still received nothing… Just tried to call them for the blood test link. After waiting for 1 hour 5 minutes, no one picked my call. The system voice message said you can press ‘0’ to leave your contacts so that they can call you back later, but this function doesn’t work at all… I feel so stressful after experiencing all of these… Am I the only unlucky one?

Review titled Poor receptionist
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by M.L.Woolmer - Posted on 13 June 2024
Having left dentist in some intrepidation I called in to surgery for some reassurance. 2 receptionists both busy, stood back and waited. The window to my right came up free so I stepped forward, not fully into window, no acknowledgement, no eye contact, receptionist drinking from her water bottle. Eventually the window to my left came up free and I was called over. Voiced my request hurried conversation between the two receptionists, nothing could be done to help me.

Great telephone conversation with a doctor. She seemed to know what she was talking about. Put me at ease and listened to what I said.

Received a phone call very quickly after an econsult with an acute problem. Asked to attend surgery and was dealt with very efficiently by all staff with a follow up by dr malik who discussed and prescribed and ongoing care for condition. Everything handled quickly and efficiently. Can’t thank all concerned enough.

I put in a request for help with a flare up of acid reflux symptoms, and I got a call the same day. The doctor was very helpful and gave me advice and new meds to control the issue.

The surgery really up its game recently I did an e consultant for both my daughters and they were both seen on same day The receptionist was really helpful I saw a medical student before seeing the doctor who was kind and made my daughter feel at ease After the doctor came in to assist the student t and she was really clear on the advice she gave and how to proceed next Credit where credits due The e consultant system seems to be working much better these days And seems be more clinicians to see Thank you

Today I have experienced excellent service from the surgery. I am in pain and only contacted the doctors this morning via econsult and off to get my medication now. Very good and quick turn around and very helpful too on the phone calls that I received.
