Inflexible appointment times and unexpected costs
I needed a medical assessment for a driving licence form. The practice initially offered only a midday appointment slot and advised me to obtain an eye test at a local optician, which I arranged at my own expense. As I was unable to attend at that time due to work commitments, I contacted them again. They subsequently offered an alternative evening slot on a Monday, which was more convenient. However, I was informed the assessment would cost £130, separate from the eye test fee. When I attended on the Monday, I was told the clinician was unavailable and no one could explain what had occurred. I later discovered other providers offering comparable medical assessments that include eye testing at times more flexible to my schedule, at a significantly lower cost. Based on my experience, I would recommend exploring alternative options for this type of medical assessment.

It was extremely difficult to get through to the practice. After waiting on hold for an extended period, the call was disconnected before I could speak to anyone.

The practice is quite satisfactory when compared to the negative experiences that friends and family have shared about their own healthcare providers.
