Difficult phone access and unwelcoming reception staff
The receptionist and practice management at this surgery represent some of the most unwelcoming service I have encountered in healthcare. Access to appointments appears straightforward for those without employment, yet considerably more challenging for working individuals unable to contact the practice during early morning hours. The facility operates with outdated equipment, and the appointment scheduling system is poorly organised. I intend to lodge a formal complaint regarding my experience with the management. I am aware of numerous former patients who have transferred to alternative surgeries, citing similar concerns. While the clinical staff and other reception team members have been pleasant, the overall experience has been significantly impacted by interactions with certain management personnel, whose approach seems unsuitable for a patient-facing environment. Following a recent serious health event, I missed two scheduled appointments due to feeling unwell and unable to attend. I apologised promptly upon recovery, yet the practice subsequently removed me from their patient list without notice. This has resulted in no ongoing care, no follow-up support, and continued dismissive treatment from reception staff. I now have unaddressed health concerns that require medical attention, am unable to access repeat medications, and have no registered practice. The manner in which this situation was handled appears inappropriate and raises concerns about the standard of care provided. Should you prefer to be treated dismissively or made to feel burdensome, this practice may suit you. However, I would strongly recommend seeking alternative healthcare provision if possible.
I would not recommend this practice to others. I had a very negative experience and was disappointed with the service provided. I would suggest looking at other reviews before deciding to attend.
