Impossible phone lines and rushed appointments

Accessing the practice by phone is extremely challenging, requiring numerous attempts to reach someone. When telephone appointments are eventually secured, they frequently do not occur at the scheduled time, necessitating follow-up calls to establish where the appointment stands. Once contact is made, there is typically a substantial waiting period of several weeks before an in-person consultation can be arranged. When contacting the practice regarding concerns about potential allergies with associated symptoms, the response was dismissive of testing, with advice simply to avoid triggering substances. This creates a frustrating situation where identification of the specific allergen is impossible without experiencing severe symptoms first, making avoidance strategies impractical. This reflects a broader pattern of problematic interactions at the practice. A previous appointment allocated thirty minutes to address multiple health concerns resulted in discussion of only one issue, after which there was an abrupt conclusion due to other commitments. The overall experience suggests the practice struggles to accommodate patients with multiple concurrent health matters, with the process of obtaining assessment for various concerns spanning months and many issues being dismissed as insufficiently serious for investigation.
