Frustrating service and endless waiting at local surgery
VIA TELEPHONE I endured a staggering 31 minutes and 49 seconds in a phone queue. The advanced nursing practitioner assured me a crucial letter would be prepared for collection within 4 days of my consultation. When I followed up after 7 days, I discovered numerous excuses ultimately revealing that while the Nurse had drafted the letter, administrative staff had neglected to retrieve and transcribe it from the system. At noon today, I inquired about the letter's status, and Annette was unhelpfully evasive, responding "what do you want me to do," without offering any resolution. Minimally, a sincere apology would have been appreciated. For Wadhurst residents, this remains the sole medical practice available, meaning patients have no alternative despite the service's shortcomings. Today's interaction was absolutely dreadful, HOWEVER my previous in-person consultation was commendable, notwithstanding being kept waiting 45 minutes beyond my scheduled appointment time.
The front desk staff was boisterous, discourteous, and completely ineffective. The physician failed to perform his professional duties and bizarrely asked me to tell him what to do! I'm not a..

Impossible to reach anyone, the service has dramatically declined after being transferred to a healthcare trust. Urgent action is required to address these issues.

This surgery can do nothing right. They have no appointments. They are closing another surgery- so I can’t imagine how they will cope going forwards. No administration done in any kind of..

Completely misleading information from Google! This place is definitely NOT a walk-in medical clinic despite what the search results claim. Absolutely absurd!!!
