Bad

frustrating half hour call queue

Like every medical practice in Reading, Western Elms is completely overwhelmed and incapable of managing its patient load. I've wasted 3 hours on the phone over the past month just trying to obtain a single test result related to my spine. Each time I contact them, I'm assured a manager will access the system and follow up with my results, but this never materializes. I'm finally writing a review because today I endured 35 minutes in a call queue only to be abruptly disconnected without speaking to anyone. I'm utterly exasperated. Additionally, a locum GP who consulted with me remotely requested a referral, but when I called the following week to inquire about my test result, I discovered the referral was never processed. What an absolute disaster. It's exhausting. Spending half an hour on hold just to achieve nothing is infuriating. I'm unable to register with another practice because everywhere is at full capacity, leaving me trapped with this deplorable service. If you have any opportunity to register elsewhere, I strongly advise you to do so.
