Feedback reveals significant challenges with appointment access and reception experience. Patients consistently report difficulty securing consultations, with extended waiting times on phone lines, limited online booking windows, and systems that frequently become unavailable. Communication barriers are widespread, with reception staff described as discourteous and unresponsive to patient needs. Phone accessibility remains a persistent problem, with callers experiencing extended hold periods and calls going unanswered during business hours.
Despite these systemic issues, some patients acknowledge positive interactions with individual clinical staff members and certain reception team members who demonstrate compassion and professionalism. A minority of reviews highlight supportive care experiences and efficient service when appointments are successfully obtained. However, these positive experiences are substantially outweighed by complaints about disorganised scheduling, poor phone communication, and reception staff conduct that patients perceive as dismissive and lacking respect.
The practice would benefit from addressing fundamental operational challenges around appointment availability, booking system reliability, and reception staff training to improve overall responsiveness and courtesy in patient interactions.

Terrible service and unhelpful front desk staff
The front desk staff are absolutely terrible and discourteous. It's nearly impossible to schedule an appointment unless you're dialing at the crack of dawn. These receptionists seem completely uninterested in even picking up the phone 🤷🏽♀️ And how is it acceptable to spend 30 minutes on hold, only to be told to use an online system? A website that's completely non-functional??????

Terrible service and zero customer understanding
I arrived behind schedule due to dropping off my kids at school and the distance involved, and they promptly terminated my appointment, claiming I was too tardy. When I attempted to explain my circumstances, the receptionist completely disregarded my perspective. I strongly advise against scheduling with this establishment.

Terrible healthcare service leaving patients in distress
Impossible to secure a consultation no matter what. Despite recent surgical intervention, they instruct you to call 111. It's utterly shameful. I've been a patient with this practice since childhood, now approaching 60, and this is how they handle their long-standing patients... Extremely frustrated and let down.

Terrible healthcare with zero patient compassion
Extremely unsatisfactory service. The staff at GP demonstrate a complete lack of understanding in patient care. Their customer support is absolutely abysmal, with no semblance of professionalism or empathy.

Worst medical care ever in east ham
This medical practice is so abysmal that I wish I could rate it even lower than zero. If any establishment in East Ham deserves demolition and redevelopment into residential units, it's this utterly appalling excuse for a healthcare facility. One would likely receive more competent medical treatment from the local butcher shop than from this deplorable surgery.

Terrible service and disrespect for elderly patients
I forced my aging mom to arrive prematurely after calling her, only to discover they'd scheduled her for a different time slot. They displayed absolutely zero concern for senior citizens. My recommendation: strictly adhere to your designated appointment to prevent them from dismissing you early!!!

Worst doctor ever unprofessional and completely useless
Dr. Orimoloye represents the epitome of unprofessionalism and neglect. His entire focus seemed fixated on pursuing a blonde woman, completely disregarding his patient responsibilities. Despite my arriving merely ten minutes behind schedule, he couldn't be bothered to see me. I am utterly frustrated and desperately wish to find an alternative healthcare provider. I sincerely hope for divine intervention to remove this incompetent individual from my medical experience.

Frustrating medical appointment with endless confusion
I visited Market Street for a patient access appointment, which seemed unnecessary since I had already been to a similar medical consultation last week with opticians who sent me a booking link. I asked my partner to drive me due to my numerous health conditions, making walking difficult. Upon arrival, a new receptionist struggled to book my appointment online, causing frustration. After consulting other staff and waiting an eternity with my back problems and fibromyalgia, she claimed to have booked me in and asked me to sit. I also needed some documents printed, and she attempted to help. I required six separate consultant appointment papers, but she printed four identical letters. A queue formed, with people becoming agitated by the delay. Another receptionist apologetically told me to return tomorrow as their printer wasn't working—odd, considering the first receptionist had just printed four pages. They then called me back to say the appointment was a mistake, and I didn't need to see a GP. I was beyond furious, and my partner was equally displeased, having waited in the car for half an hour while his elderly, infirm father needed assistance at home. The entire system feels like a complete waste of time. No one seems to know what they're doing, and patients are continuously brushed off. Moreover, it's nearly impossible to reach anyone by phone before 4 pm.

Heartless healthcare staff ignored my chest pain
If I could rate this lower than zero, I would. As a 63-year-old patient seeking care during extended hours, I experienced a deeply frustrating encounter. Due to a road accident causing slight delay, I arrived just 3 minutes late. Despite experiencing severe chest pain and being specifically referred to this GP service, I was subjected to an additional 25-minute wait. The receptionist then informed me that the nurse would not see me. Even when I pleaded about the intensity of my chest pain and offered to wait, I was summarily dismissed. The staff demonstrated zero empathy or professional concern for my medical condition. The service was absolutely unacceptable, and I strongly advise others to avoid this practice. Their complete lack of compassion and medical responsibility is shocking.

Frustrating phone system prevents timely medical care
I was incredibly frustrated when my general practitioner sent me a message at 5:53 PM on December 29th to follow up with a clinician regarding my MRI, only to find that the surgery's phone line was perpetually ringing with no answer. With the office closing at 6:30 PM, I was left bewildered by the impossibility of scheduling an appointment. It seems entirely unreasonable that during an entire 8-hour workday, the reception staff couldn't manage to pick up the phone, and my GP expected me to somehow arrange a consultation with less than half an hour remaining before they shut down for the day.

Worst medical experience ever avoid this place
I truly desire the ability to rate this medical practice with zero stars or no rating at all, as it is absolutely terrible. The front desk staff are incredibly discourteous and condescending - and that description is being generous. This entire practice requires a complete overhaul. Several of the physicians - whom I would gladly call out by name but will refrain from doing so to offer a shred of professional courtesy - are among the most appalling healthcare providers I have ever encountered. This GP centre desperately needs comprehensive reformation, particularly regarding its reception staff.

Frustrating but improved medical scheduling system
Getting an appointment is manageable if you're willing to rise early and battle online scheduling (5am wake-up call). The system has improved from its previous chaotic first-come, first-served approach, now using a more structured triage method. Attempting to reach them by phone is utterly futile. The reception staff consistently ignore incoming calls, regardless of time or purpose. My advice: skip the phone entirely and visit in person. You'll likely save time (ironically stated after enduring a 30-minute hold, starting as caller number 8 and slowly creeping to number 4 - presumably because other frustrated calkers are hanging up, a fate I'm also contemplating).
