Bad
Terrible service and complete communication breakdown
This is absolutely a terrible first impression. As a newcomer to the area, seeking a non-urgent but important medical appointment, I'm already frustrated. The triage form claims maximum submissions have been reached (at 9:15am), blocking my online access, and the phone lines are impossible to connect to. After finally reaching someone, I was instructed to submit the triage form the next morning, which I did promptly, requesting a callback by midday, understanding some of us have schedules to maintain. Unsurprisingly, no contact came through. Now I'm forced to disrupt my entire afternoon by visiting the surgery in person. The inefficiency is infuriating and emotionally draining. It's clear this practice has zero consideration for patients. The reception staff's attitude was equally dismissive. Apparently, the phone representative who previously assured me I could request a specific callback time was fabricating information. The form's callback request section is completely meaningless, with staff calling whenever they feel like it. Am I meant to feel apologetic about their workload? When told 36 other patients are waiting, I'm not sympathetic—I'm convinced this surgery is fundamentally incompetent and unfit to provide medical care.
The acoustic design in your waiting area is seriously problematic. That tiny reception window creates terrible sound reverberation and amplification. Privacy is completely compromised, as every..

Immense gratitude to the prescription team - called earlier today, and by midday the medication was ready at Boots. I'm incredibly appreciative of their swift and efficient service.

I reach the front of the line, first in queue, and become trapped in an endless cycle of a robotic female voice expressing regret about being unable to handle my call. Frustrated, I disconnect and..

The customer service representative on the phone was incredibly dismissive, making me feel like a nuisance for simply trying to reschedule my appointment.

During a recent phone inquiry, the receptionist claimed a nurse couldn't assist with a prescription (which was incorrect, as they would involve a doctor), and unhelpfully suggested going to an..

The "online triage" system is completely useless! Their response of "we have forwarded your message" has led to absolutely zero action. What's the purpose of such a pointless process?

Arrived at the medical office by 8:30 for what was supposed to be an 8:45 appointment, already running over 15 minutes behind schedule

You are despicable. My friend's mental health has deteriorated, and I hold you directly responsible for your failure to schedule appointments.

I've spent an exhausting three hours on hold trying to schedule an appointment, only to be told "everything is fully booked today." Absolutely frustrating and completely unacceptable!!!
