Bad
Terrible service and unprofessional medical staff
I'm thoroughly frustrated with this medical practice, despite being a long-time patient. Since COVID, they've been using the pandemic as an excuse to constantly claim 'WE ARE FULLY BOOKED, CALL AT 8 IN THE MORNING OR GO TO A&E' When we call at 8, the phone line remains jammed until 10, and if you miraculously get through, they still insist they're fully booked. Call the next day, and it's the same story. Looking at other reviews, everyone seems to face this appointment nightmare, which makes me wonder who exactly is filling these supposedly booked slots when most patients can't even schedule a visit. We're better off going straight to A&E, reminiscent of that classic Little Britain sketch where the response is always 'Computer says, NO' One of the doctors bizarrely started comparing her own weight to my 9-year-old son, remarking, 😲 'you're the same weight as me,' when he clearly looked underweight. We sought help, and instead, she completely undermined my son's confidence. I can't recall her name, though she was a Tibetan lady... Truly abysmal service, with the sole bright spot being Dr. Niece, who is absolutely fantastic. The single star is exclusively for her.
My perspective appears to diverge from numerous other reviews. The entire reception staff, particularly Maria who promptly followed up with a callback to schedule an appointment, along with her..

Charming employees, but scheduling a visit is a nightmare. Their office opens at 8, yet the phone line is perpetually busy - at opening time, an hour later, during lunch, throughout the afternoon...

I called precisely at 8am sharp, and immediately upon dialing, a pre-recorded message informed me I was 60th in line!!! This makes absolutely no sense, considering the phone lines had just opened at..

I cannot endorse this surgical procedure based on the subpar treatment my family and I have experienced.

Terrible patient intake process 😞 with intrusive questioning and lack of empathy. The reception staff seems more interested in interrogating you than providing medical care. If you don't blindly..

Discourteous, disrespectful, and utterly pointless when seeking assistance. Steer clear entirely - you'll be much happier without the hassle!
