Phone lines impossible to get through on
I would rate this practice far more negatively if the system allowed it. I have been a patient at this practice since childhood, as my family chose to register everyone there together, and until recently I never questioned this decision. However, my experience has been deeply frustrating. I have been requesting assessments for multiple health concerns over many years. Repeatedly, I was directed to contact external services or seek support elsewhere rather than receiving proper evaluation at the practice. After years of requesting help since my late teens, I finally obtained an appointment to discuss my mental health concerns. However, the appointment was dismissive of my needs. I was prescribed medication without thorough evaluation, and my other health issues were not properly addressed. The medication prescribed has not been suitable for me and has actually made my other conditions worse. Accessing the practice by phone is extremely difficult. They request calls at a specific time each morning, yet the lines are consistently busy. Even after numerous attempts to get through, I am told the queue is very long and that only emergency cases are being seen. This is particularly problematic as I am currently taking medication that requires careful medical supervision to stop safely. Abruptly discontinuing it could cause serious withdrawal effects, yet the practice does not consider this a priority despite it being a medical necessity to follow proper withdrawal protocols. The situation leaves me in an impossible position regarding my health management. The practice clearly needs to improve its accessibility and develop better understanding of mental health care requirements. The service has been disappointing.
I have been attempting to contact the practice for several days without receiving a response. I am very disappointed with the lack of communication and feel let down by the service provided.

It is difficult to reach this practice by telephone, and obtaining an appointment once contact is made proves to be consistently challenging.

Difficult to reach, as several members of the front desk staff could be more welcoming, though the clinical team are adequate. The practice appears to be operating at capacity.
