Dismissed and left without proper investigation
While I previously left a positive review of the surgery, I feel compelled to revise my assessment following recent experiences. Since experiencing a significant incident in July 2023, I have been unable to work or manage basic physical activities. Imaging investigations have identified spinal and hip-related findings, though subsequent results appeared contradictory. Despite repeatedly requesting support to return to normal functioning, I have felt let down by the care offered. The medication options presented have not been suitable for me, and requests for targeted joint injections have been declined. The physiotherapy provided at the practice has continued throughout, but I have not been offered specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapy or received thorough investigation into the underlying cause of my symptoms, which would help me pursue appropriate self-management strategies. Most concerning is an incident in February when a clinician made the decision to discontinue a medication I had been taking for twelve years, withdrawing it over just one week. This rapid cessation resulted in significant adverse effects including sleep disturbance, emotional distress, and worsening pain symptoms. I believe this approach was inappropriate and poorly managed. I have lost confidence in the care I have received at the practice. A recent comment comparing my situation to something not worth investing in has further undermined my trust. My overall faith in the healthcare system has been significantly shaken by these experiences.
I really appreciate the efforts of the entire team who carried out my husband's test despite him arriving an hour late for his appointment. Thank you for your continued dedication and excellent..

I've been attempting to reach the practice throughout the day, but the line keeps indicating it's closed. It's already past mid-afternoon on a weekday, which seems unusual.
