Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience across appointment access, reception service, and clinical care. Many patients report positive interactions with reception staff who demonstrate courtesy and responsiveness, particularly when securing timely appointments during urgent situations. Medical and nursing staff consistently receive praise for professionalism, compassion, and skilled care delivery. The practice environment is frequently described as clean and welcoming.

However, significant concerns emerge around appointment availability and booking experience. Multiple patients report lengthy waiting periods ranging from two to three weeks for routine appointments, with some experiencing delays of several months for specialist referrals. Communication breakdowns are a recurring theme, including missed callback commitments, inconsistent information about appointment status, and administrative follow-through failures. Reception experience varies considerably, with some patients encountering dismissive or discourteous staff attitudes, particularly during phone interactions.

Additional issues include poor administrative coordination affecting prescription processing and medical record transfers, inadequate directional signage within the practice, and insufficient staffing visibility in reception areas. While individual staff members are frequently commended for going above and beyond, systemic challenges with appointment scheduling, communication consistency, and administrative processes create frustration for patients seeking reliable and responsive care.

Terrible healthcare service leaves patient frustrated and helpless

I received a phone call to discuss my health issues, explaining my high fever of 39.5 degrees that hasn't responded to paracetamol for three consecutive days. The receptionist apologetically informed me that no appointments were available today. When I inquired about tomorrow, and then the day after, she bluntly stated they have absolutely no doctor availability. Her advice? Simply visit the pharmacy for medication recommendations. Unbelievable! The message is clear: if you're ill, don't expect medical consultation—just head to the pharmacy and hope for the best!

Horrific medical care that endangers patient lives

If I could give this surgery minus stars I would. After consulting legal counsel, I am now more acutely aware of the grave nature of this situation and how this practice has fundamentally breached their professional responsibility. The substandard care I've received from Parkview has completely disrupted my life, causing significant emotional and physical damage, financial hardship, and has further complicated my existing medical conditions (complex PTSD, bipolar type 2, ADHD, and complex partial epilepsy). Despite consistently communicating my deteriorating health, I have been met with total indifference. For over two years, despite my persistent, well-documented attempts to obtain the necessary support I am legally entitled to, I have been systematically ignored, belittled, and deceived by both doctors and management. Given the nature of my illnesses and accompanying medication, I require close monitoring by a consultant psychiatrist. Having lived with these conditions for most of my life, I am exceptionally skilled at recognizing potential relapses. I repeatedly expressed my need for specialized care, and as anticipated, I have indeed relapsed - forcing me to abandon an £11,000 Masters degree, lose employment, and return to my family home for support. I was repeatedly told that Parkview had referred me to psychiatry, but the waiting list was extremely long. Shockingly, I recently discovered they have been communicating with an entirely different department (where I am on the ADHD and autism services waiting list) and have not contacted psychiatric services at all, as originally requested. My Mother recently spoke with the practice manager, explaining that my continued lack of being heard was exacerbating my symptoms and creating unnecessary psychological strain. The failure to refer me to the correct department epitomizes their complete disregard for my medical needs. Furthermore, as per standard protocol, my medical records should have been electronically transferred within 1-3 days of registration. This did not occur. When I noticed this during a depression appointment in 2022, I requested they follow up with my previous GP or through the appropriate channel (PCSE). They did not. To this day, they remain incomplete. The treatment I have experienced is absolutely unacceptable and something I would never wish upon anyone. Both PTSD and bipolar disorder 2 significantly elevate suicide risks, particularly for patients lacking medical support. Nearly half of all bipolar patients will attempt suicide during their lifetime. While I am fortunate to have a robust support network, I shudder to imagine how Parkview's approach might impact someone more vulnerable. This account merely scratches the surface. I implore you: do not register with this GP - especially if you struggle with mental health, as you will be denied the compassionate care you fundamentally deserve. Amy Rose

Mixed experience with compassionate doctors and frustrating receptionists

The medical staff here are compassionate, attentive, and genuinely supportive. However, the same level of professionalism doesn't extend to all the front desk staff. A few receptionists could definitely improve their attention to detail and overall approach to customer service. When a physician is on pre-scheduled leave or unable to work, basic professional etiquette would suggest notifying patients about rescheduling an appointment made well in advance. Instead, they allowed me to arrive punctually, wait in the reception area for 15 minutes after checking in, and then casually informed me that the doctor was on vacation. Booking an appointment via telephone can be a frustratingly time-consuming process. On certain days, it can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes just to become the next caller in the queue.
