Review titled Great practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Loukia - Posted on 24 August 2024
All the staff were very attentive and everything was explained thoroughly in stages which was great and they all answered any questions I had. It didn’t feel rushed or careless, they were extremely helpful, polite, understanding and funny which helped ease my nervousness. From the reception to the nurses and surgery staff - thank you very much.

Review titled Not great
Rated 2 stars out of 5

Things are moving painfully slow with Medefer, my appointment was nearly 4 months ago and I am no further forward. Emails I send are ignored, no reply. When I rang for an update recently they told me their system was down so couldn't tell me if they'd received my blood or stool test results then said I'd have to send them copies myself from my NHS app? Surely that's their job to sort not mine?? Fed up of chasing and not getting anywhere!

Review titled Medefer experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Stephanie Clarke - Posted on 31 July 2024
Excellent consultation, felt for once that I have been listened too, first time in 4 years, I felt that I mattered, especially that at some point my doctor suggested it is all in my mind, and I was questioning myself. Thank you Medefer

Review titled Unsatisfactory service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Martin - Posted on 06 April 2024
I've had to arrange a new appointment to provide urine and blood sample again for prostate check as Medefer hadn't submitted my sample to the lab before the alloted time so sample was spoilt. Totally unacceptable as I have a needle phoebia and I thought sample delivery was an essential part of their service. Totally unacceptable!!

Dear patient, Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you experienced due to our partner pathology laboratory collecting samples from the clinic later than they had scheduled to. This is rare and unforeseen circumstance led to the samples not being stable, which meant that an accurate result could not be interpreted safely. Please know that as soon as we were made aware of this incident, we made every effort to promptly contact all affected patients to arrange for retesting. We understand the added stress and frustration this situation may have caused, especially considering your needle phobia. We want to assure you that sample collection issues like this are rare and not typical of our service, and we are taking steps to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Your health and comfort are of utmost importance to us, and we deeply regret any distress this situation has caused. If you would like to discuss these issues, we would be grateful if you could please contact us on 08000 112 113 (between 8am and 6pm) or by email at feedback@medefer.com. Alternatively, you can write to our CEO, at bahman@medefer.com. We will arrange a member of our team to contact you.

Review titled Inhumane
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 January 2024
I was originally really impressed because everything moved quickly and there was a lot of communication. I requested a call with a consultant and I was given an appointment for within a few days, and the consultant was really lovely. They informed me that if I received a letter after my tests that it would mean everything was okay, and if I was given an appointment there was something to discuss, and I believe that they thought that was true. However I was then informed by letter that I have cancer. I received a call from Medefer saying that they had a letter for me and could they please have my email address, so I was relieved. Only to open the email 10 minutes later and find that news. And my GP told me that it wasn't the first time that this has happened. In the same letter it says that I live alone, so logically receiving that letter I wouldn't have any immediate support. I think that Medefer is a great idea and down the line can be an absolute asset, but I just can't believe the lack of empathy to tell a 23 year old they have cancer in an email. Once that is addressed then Medefer will be a positive addition to the NHS.

I didnt to have to wait long for the appointment, I had the procedure explained over the phone and leaflet through post, I was seen and had the procedure done without much delay and the procedure was comfortable.

Review titled Very poor service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Barry Miller - Posted on 27 October 2023
Was referred to Medefer by my GP in July and after an initial problem with the contact which Medefer apologised for I was asked to undergo a blood test and and two stool tests which I completed within a couple of days.After about a month of waiting I phoned them to chase it up and promptly had a letter asking me to redo the same tests which I duly did. They included a blood test form which I rang them to query as it did not appear to be filled in correctly but they said no it was ok as they would know at the blood test clinic at Queen’s what was needed. When I went for the test I was promptly turned away as the form had not been completed! Back home I went and phoned Medefer and they told me the 4 boxes to put crosses in, so back to Queens to have the blood test. In approx another 4 weeks and further phone call, I had a letter saying the test were ok but because of my kidney function wasn’t good enough to have the normal colonoscopy and they were arranging a specialist colonoscan. After further weeks with no appointment I phoned again and was asked to phone the radiology department at Queens which I did only to be told the form Medefer submitted was incomplete! Back on the phone again to Medefer and was told they would submit the form again and apologised. It’s now 27th October 3 months onand still waiting, a total shambles!
