Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback for this practice reflects a mixed experience with notable contrasts between clinical and reception services. Medical staff, including doctors and nurses, consistently receive praise for compassionate care, attentive listening, and professional expertise. However, reception experience presents a significant challenge, with multiple patients reporting difficulties accessing appointments by phone, dismissive attitudes, rudeness, and poor communication. Appointment availability emerges as a recurring concern, with some patients describing lengthy waits and barriers to booking, whilst others report smooth scheduling. Prescription management and responsiveness to patient queries also feature as problem areas in several reviews.

Positive feedback highlights efficient service delivery, welcoming environments, and supportive staff interactions when appointments are secured. Patients particularly commend nursing staff for their professionalism and compassion during procedures. Conversely, negative experiences centre on reception accessibility, with patients describing frustration when attempting phone contact, inconsistent information provision, and perceived lack of concern for patient needs. Some patients report feeling dismissed or unsupported when raising concerns.

The practice demonstrates capability in clinical care and patient support during consultations, yet faces challenges in the booking experience and initial reception interactions. Improving phone communication systems, appointment availability, and reception staff training could significantly enhance overall patient experience and satisfaction.

Loyal patient frustrated with medical practice's poor service

I departed after 13 years of being a patient. I could have filed a formal complaint but chose not to because Dr Ghosh has been good to me over the years, and I will not do that to her. Thank you, Dr Ghosh, for everything you did throughout our time together. The Doctor was incorrect, and the receptionist refused to assist me. All I wanted was my prescription that never arrived the previous day. (I ended up waiting 5 days, and nobody thought to inform me it was finally sent at 17:48 on Friday - I only discovered this when I called Monday.) So from seeing the doctor Thursday morning, I received it Monday. I submitted a complaint to Maria as instructed, but received a response from someone else. Maria took the time to send me a letter about my attitude, threatening to remove me if I talk to staff like that again - like what? How it is? She will not address my problem and will simply remove me after 13 years of being a patient, disregarding my mental health. I wonder if staff members who gossip behind the glass receive similar warnings? A great practice that has been ruined.

Inconsistent service ruins patient experience at practice

Updated Review: Conflicting guidance from receptionists has led to a frustrating situation. Despite being merely 0.1 miles outside their service area, my new postcode means they're categorically denying my continued registration, with zero flexibility for individual circumstances. Given that I've received excellent ongoing care for my multiple chronic health conditions at St James, I'm deeply disappointed about the potential disruption of finding a new GP. Their approach strikes me as rigid, impersonal, and fundamentally neglectful of patient needs. Initial Review from 2017: An outstanding healthcare facility. As someone new to the area and carrying past negative experiences with medical practices, I was initially apprehensive. However, the female GP I've been seeing is truly exceptional: thoroughly professional, genuinely attentive, and compassionate. The reception team has consistently been supportive, actively working to resolve any challenges that arise. While securing GP appointments can occasionally be challenging, the nurse practitioner is highly competent, and same-day consultations are typically available. I would wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone seeking quality healthcare.

Rude service ruins dining experience

Rude Personnel The employees at this establishment were incredibly unhelpful and dismissive. From the moment I walked in, their attitudes were off-putting and unwelcoming. They seemed disinterested in providing any sort of customer service and made me feel like an inconvenience. My questions were met with sighs and minimal effort to assist me. The lack of professionalism was striking, and I left feeling frustrated and unvalued as a customer. This experience has definitely discouraged me from returning and I would not recommend this place to anyone seeking friendly or competent service.

Stellar healthcare with compassionate and proactive doctors

I consistently receive top-notch care at St James - scheduling appointments is a breeze, the physicians are attentive and responsive, and they comprehensively track my health through regular check-ups, including blood screenings, influenza vaccinations, asthma management, and convenient digital reminders via text and email.

Frustrating healthcare service with no clear answers

I reached out today (14/11/2023) at 17:36 regarding an urgent inhaler prescription I critically need but haven't received. I attempted to secure an immediate appointment given my medical situation. The staff informed me appointments were only available for next Monday, which seemed inadequate. When I asked if I could schedule right then during the call, the representative's response was contradictory and confusing. Upon requesting clarification, she became dismissive and impatient with my questions. Essentially, today offers no appointment slots, tomorrow supposedly will, but no substantive explanation was provided. The communication was extraordinarily challenging, especially considering this involves essential healthcare. The service quality was remarkably poor - I'm left without my emergency medication and without a comprehensible resolution. I'm sincerely hoping this is an isolated incident and not representative of their standard patient care. The entire interaction was frustrating and potentially compromising my health needs.

Compassionate care saved my mum's life forever

This medical procedure has delivered exceptional treatment for my mother, and without their intervention, her health would have been critically compromised or potentially fatal. I'm particularly appreciative of Dr. Swift, who is an outstanding physician, and Lillian, who has attentively addressed our worries. We are immensely thankful and feel incredibly fortunate.

Worst medical practice ever terrible healthcare experience

I should rename this clinic the St. James Center for Medical Neglect. They prescribe medications that seem to worsen my condition and consistently refuse to recommend advanced diagnostic tests, despite my persistent symptoms lasting three years. Throughout this entire period, I've experienced continuous congestion, a prominently swollen and inflamed sinus area on my forehead, and debilitating fatigue that has essentially confined me to bed for up to 20 hours daily. Not once have they authorized a CT scan or MRI. Each time I present with identical symptoms affecting my ears, sinuses, and eyes, the doctors dismiss and minimize my concerns, gaslighting me by insisting these symptoms aren't connected, even though they clearly emerge, progress, and recede simultaneously alongside my chronic congestion, which has never been adequately addressed.

Terrible service left me frustrated and ignored

I recently had a phone conversation with the pharmacist at the clinic, requesting them to seek a prescription from the physician. They couldn't be bothered to follow up or respond at all. This is precisely why patients feel disconnected and frustrated with our healthcare system. Moving forward, I'll be relying on online medical resources instead.

I consulted with Nurse Donna Price during today's consultation, and I'm absolutely blown away by her exceptional care! What typically would be a nerve-wracking and potentially uncomfortable procedure was remarkably smooth and painless, truly catching me off guard with how effortlessly she conducted everything compared to my past medical encounters. She is truly an outstanding healthcare professional!

Fast online consultation saves the day

I scheduled a virtual consultation and was pleasantly surprised when the physician rang me back within just a couple of hours, much faster than I anticipated given their typically packed schedule. The doctor prescribed an antibiotic and electronically transmitted the prescription to a nearby pharmacy. The entire process was incredibly smooth and efficient! Much appreciation for the service.
