"Unprofessional Receptionist and Time Wasting"

About: Reading Walk-in Health Centre

I recently attempted to book an in-person GP appointment at Broad Street Health Centre due to a medical concern. However, the receptionist was unhelpful and dismissive, insisting I go to a pharmacy instead, despite my explaining that a private doctor had advised me to see a GP. This not only wasted my time but also left me feeling disregarded.

I found it frustrating that the process for raising issues was not clear, requiring additional effort and time.

I hope the surgery can review this matter and improve the way patients are treated.

Dear patient

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that your recent experience with booking an appointment did not meet your expectations. Please can you email the practice directly with the specific details to bobicb-bw.bshc@nhs.net so that we can investigate and respond to you personally.
