PoorContinual Bad Experiences - no support from Practice Manager
I have unfortunately had several negative experiences with a particular female GP at Cowes Medical Centre, and I feel it is important to express how unacceptable the standard of care has been. She has consistently shown a lack of compassion, unwillingness to listen, delayed repeat perscriptions and has no interest in understanding my concerns when I have sought support. These interactions have left me feeling dismissed rather than cared for. I am not someone who seeks medical attention unnecessarily; I only contact the surgery when it is genuinely required. Despite this, the GP’s manner has been abrupt, unprofessional and at times quite distressing. I even recevied a text message which was unnecessarily harsh and reinforced my view that she does not demonstrate the qualities expected of a GP. I raised these issues with the practice manager and requested to be moved to another doctor due to the ongoing problems. However, my request was blantly ignored and I remain allocated to the same GP. I have since spoken to other patients who have had similar experiences and who also feel she has a very poor reputation. Based on my interactions, I do not believe this GP is suited to a role that requires empathy, patience and effective communication. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of support and the failure to address my concerns.

Throughout our time as patients at this practice, we have had a wonderful experience, which extends back to when they were located at their previous premises.

It is difficult to reach this practice by telephone. When contact is established, the staff can be dismissive and insist on knowing the nature of your health concern before scheduling an appointment.

What's the point? It's not as though there are alternative medical practices available in the area, is there?
