"Unreliable and unhelpful"

About: Riverside Medical Centre

Aside from being nearly impossible to get an appointment, once I did et an appointment they refused to refer me to a specialist about the issue.

Separately I take a specific medicine, this medicine is in shortage worldwide, I have been ringing chemists and no one has stock. I went back to the practice to discuss dosage weaning or transfer. The staff are making it impossible to speak to a doctor, suggest I submit an econsult, which when I do it says this is not possible ring the practice. I am now thinking it will come to me needing to go to urgent care as I don't have any other options.

Dear patient

As the Manager of the practice I am very sorry to hear of the difficulties you have experienced on this occasion. Please can I ask that you reach out to me directly via email so that I can look into this matter for you.

I apologise for any inconvenience this has caused but unfortunately when reviews are left anonymously I am unable to obtain further information to enable me to conduct any investigation.

I hope to hear from you.

Kind regards

Tracy Crossfield
