Review titled Front Room Staff Lacking Personal Skills
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 June 2023
I have no doubt, as professionals, the doctors at the surgery are exceptional and extremely caring. However, sitting behind their door's they are not witnessing, as patients so often do, the front office staff so lacking in social skills. You can stand for minutes as they, sitting behind their glass fronted room gabble to each other, not particularly bothered about the person standing before them. I've yet to hear any of them say, "Good afternoon, how may I help you?" I suggest, as a matter of urgency, each receptionist is given a simple A4 piece of paper of key phrases explaining how to interact with the customer properly. this would go a long way to diffuse any situation. And, as soon as anyone approaches the front window, a smiling face with a welcome greeting. Sorry Lichfield surgery, It's simply not rocket science....

Review titled Poor service and response
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Peter davey - Posted on 28 November 2022
I did an econsult on lichfield st surgery site, as assumed this might be quicker, and easier for both them, and myself, but how wrong I was. After waiting over 4 days for a response, I received a message asking me to contact the surgery to book an appointment. Though the call,was answered quite quickly, I was then told we have no appointments till end of December, or I could call,at 8 in the morning, for an appointment tomorrow if one was available. So what was the point of the eConsult if they shove you to back of queue anyway. This is why 111 and a and e are so busy, because of the poor response by local GPS. Still in pain and very disappointed.
