Impossible to reach by phone for appointment changes
The practice feels frustrating to use. Getting through to reschedule appointments is extremely difficult, and despite attempting to make changes throughout the day, a letter arrived indicating a missed appointment with warnings about potential removal from the patient list.

When appointments do come through, they're sometimes with less experienced staff members who have limited prescribing authority, making the visit feel unproductive. Overall, the experience leaves one feeling it might be easier to manage health issues independently rather than engage with the service.
