Staff dismissive when requesting basic support
I have found the service at this medical centre to fall significantly short of what I would expect. The interactions I have had with staff have often felt dismissive and unhelpful, and I have frequently sensed a lack of willingness to assist with straightforward requests. Accessing appointments has proven to be a challenging process, and when I have managed to secure one, the experience has not been positive. The practice now operates primarily through an online consultation system, which I feel functions more as an obstacle than a practical solution. The process involves completing extensive online forms, followed by a lengthy wait for responses that often feel minimal in effort and detail, or sometimes do not arrive at all. This approach does not feel aligned with what I would consider adequate patient care. I have also noticed what appears to be inconsistent communication among staff members, and this has directly impacted my experience as a patient. Information seems to be lost between appointments, and I have found myself repeatedly following up to obtain answers that should have been provided initially. Overall, I feel the practice lacks the level of care and compassion I would hope to receive from a medical provider. Patients should be treated with respect and consideration, and I have not consistently experienced this. The prospect of contacting the practice causes me considerable concern, which reflects my broader dissatisfaction with the service. I believe the practice is not meeting the needs of the community it serves. I have decided to transfer my care to another medical practice.

Avoid at all costs. The clinical staff demonstrated unprofessional conduct, the wider team were unwelcoming, and there were significant parking difficulties at the location.
