Patient Experience Summary

Feedback reflects a mixed experience with significant variation in patient satisfaction. Clinical care is consistently praised, with patients describing clinicians as thorough, compassionate, and attentive. However, reception experience emerges as a major concern, with recurring reports of staff discourtesy, dismissiveness, and poor communication. Appointment availability presents a substantial challenge, with patients reporting lengthy waits, limited slots, and difficulty reaching the practice by phone, particularly during peak times. Administrative processes including prescription management, registration, and appointment confirmation have been problematic for some patients, though others report efficient service delivery. The practice environment and facilities are generally well-regarded.

Positive experiences highlight supportive nursing staff, welcoming atmospheres, and responsive clinical care. Conversely, negative feedback centres on reception interactions, appointment access constraints, and inconsistent service standards. Some patients note improvements to facilities, while others express frustration with resource allocation and service continuity. The disparity between clinical quality and administrative experience represents a key theme across the feedback.

Booking mix-up left me waiting pointlessly

I had a frustrating experience at this clinic in Romford. When I called to arrange an in-person appointment, I attended only to discover that a phone consultation had been booked instead. After waiting 40 minutes and speaking with reception staff about the error, I was simply told that unfortunately these things do happen. The management response felt dismissive and unhelpful, and I felt the situation was not handled appropriately. I noticed that another patient who arrived with a child seemed to receive a booking within 30 minutes, whereas I had needed to make multiple calls just to clarify that my appointment had been arranged online rather than in person. I am very disappointed with the service I received, the attitude of staff, and the overall management of the clinic. I have decided to transfer my care elsewhere and would not recommend this practice to others based on my experience.

Phone receptionist was dismissive and made me feel unwelcome

I called the reception team today and found their manner to be quite rude and unprofessional. Their behaviour felt dismissive, and I was left with the impression that I was being treated unfairly. This experience fell well below acceptable customer service standards and made me feel uncomfortable and disrespected. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

Receptionists made booking appointments straightforward

I have multiple health concerns and without this practice, managing my wellbeing would be considerably more challenging. The reception team demonstrates genuine helpfulness and support. The clinical staff provide excellent care and expertise. Regarding appointment availability, I have consistently been able to secure slots within a reasonable timeframe, and urgent matters are accommodated promptly when contacted at appropriate times. Calling at the right moment tends to yield positive results. I am satisfied with my choice to remain with this practice.
