Review titled Absolutely terrible
Rated 1 star out of 5
by PAUL ALEXANDER THOM - Posted on 20 June 2024
I was a patent at this place until the end of last month. It was almost impossible to see or even talk to a doctor. I have fairly advanced COPD and developed a severe chest infection in january. Which has only just been sorted out by my new doctor. At Symons I received very little help and certainly not care. during this infection I only ever saw a doctor once. I could never get the quantity of medicine I needed, because of the difficulty of getting through to a doctor. when I finally did see one her told me that I should have been taking antibiotics every other day from october to april, but he only told me this in may. He said that I should have known this myself and contacted the surgery to ask for it. How could I possibly know? Fortunately I have moved to a new practice where I have seen adoctor or clinician multiple times whenever I need one, I have been treated with a kindness and caring attitude I never received at symons.

Review titled Difficult to get an appointment
Rated 2 stars out of 5

It can't be right that it's not possible to book a face to face appointment with any Doctor at any point in the future. Told to call back another week.

Review titled Awful
Rated 1 star out of 5

I’ve been with this surgery for several years now and due to being out of the catchment for better surgeries I have been stuck here. I have never got an appointment the first time I call, lucky if I’m not more than 30 in the queue even when calling at 8.29 on the dot. When I do finally speak to someone I’m always told there are no appointments (emergency or future) and I’ll have to try again the next day. It took me 3 weeks of calling every day before I finally went into the surgery and they miraculously found me an appointment, after reminding me that I can only make appointments over the phone of course. I finally saw the GP (first time I’ve physically seen one in years, rarer than a unicorn), he sent me for bloods and then put me on tablets for something unrelated to my issue and asked me to come back in 3 months if the issue still exists. Well it does still exist and now I’m in week 2 of calling daily to try get an appointment. If it’s this bad for me I can only imagine the struggle for those who are really poorly. It’s the worst surgery I’ve been in, with completely uncaring staff.
