Reception dismissed concerns about appointment timing
I contacted the surgery to arrange an appointment for a specific day and was informed that a clinician would call me back on that date. When the call came through, I was offered a time slot that conflicted with my work commitments, which I had clearly communicated. I had specifically taken time off work in anticipation of being seen on my preferred day. Following the call, I rang back to express my concerns about the appointment being scheduled at an unsuitable time, particularly given that the clinician could have contacted me earlier in the week when I was available. When I spoke to reception staff about this, their response felt dismissive and unhelpful. I requested an appointment for my original preferred time, but the lack of support and understanding left me feeling frustrated. Due to this experience, I have decided to seek care elsewhere as I do not feel the service meets my needs.
It is difficult to obtain an appointment, even when attempting to book early in the morning.

Unable to secure an appointment with nursing staff to have stitches removed, let alone see a doctor. Will need to remove them myself.

Incredibly frustrating experience. I received a call to attend an appointment, but upon arrival was simply advised to continue with a previous medication that had been discontinued some weeks..

The practice continues to issue prescriptions for a medication despite an allergy being documented in the patient's medical records.
