"Disorganised"

About: Montpelier Health Centre

More than once I was given a timeframe for a call, only for them to call later or earlier than arranged, when I wasn't available. And the telephone hold times are so long, rearranging is difficult.

On one occasion they simply never called, then texted to say I hadn't answered. On another occasion I had to wait almost a month for my GP to call me, during which time my condition worsened significantly.

In the last week, I requested a call back as the course of treatment discussed with my doctor caused it to get worse. Two days later, without warning by text or email, I got two missed calls from them in the space of a minute while I was briefly away from my phone. They didn't leave a message. When I emailed about it, they had no record of the calls.

In the past, I have sat in the waiting room for over an hour before being told my appointment was cancelled.

All in all, a chaotic and badly managed practice. Avoid if you can.

We are very sorry to read that the service we have provided has been less than satisfactory. It is important to us to be able to discuss any problems directly with our patients in order to be able to look at individual issues and the audit trail involved, and to look at how we can improve our service to you.

If you could please contact the surgery via email:
