"Terrible booking system"

About: Garston Medical Centre

This surgery’s receptionists are dismissive and disinterested. The GP appointment booking system is obstructive and unfit for purpose. If you are working, caring after children or in any way unable to stay on hold for hours on end forget seeing your gp, ever. To be told there are no appointments at all and you can’t have one unless you phone 8.30am on a specific weekday and be prepared to wait for hours for their ‘weekly appointments release’ is frankly absurd. The surgery’s website is misleading and a lot of the information is out of date. You can only use Covid as an excuse for incompetence so long- shape up or shut your practice. So disappointed.

Dear Patient,

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that your interaction with the Practice was stressful and upsetting. We are increasing the number of Face to Face appointments and telephone callbacks that are prebookable. I apologise that this was not available when you called. Your feedback re the Website information is appreciated and I will pass all your comments to the relevant members of staff.

Please accept our apology.
