"Rude receptionist staff"

About: Hanscombe House Surgery

I have been with this surgery since I was a child and after today I have decided that I am switching surgeries. The receptionist is rude and hung up the phone on me when I politely complained about how them closing the econsults early wasn't my fault usually closes at 2pm this was at 11:23am!!! and that I needed desperately to get ahold of a doctors note following a surgery I had had the week prior. her final words to me were "right i'll see what the doctor might say" and then a clunk followed by my phone disconnecting.

I had been advised the day prior to phone if I was unable to submit an Econsult which is what I had done but this receptionist decided I shouldn't get to do one over the phone.

I have also been waiting for a referral for my back injury to come through I was told 3 to 4 weeks it has now been 3 months!! no phone calls from the Physio and when I enquired I was told they would contact me! this surgery has bad reviews for a reason! now i'm 24 i've made the best decision to switch to a surgery!

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear of your recent experiences and of your decision to register with another Surgery as a result.

Having listened to our call recordings, I would encourage you to get in touch with the Practice. This will give us the opportunity to discuss and respond to the comments you have made in relation to our receptionist and our e-Consult service and to provide an update of the investigations made and the actions we have taken.

I am pleased to confirm that a referral to the Musculoskeletal Service (MSK) was made on the day of your consultation with our doctor and I understand that you are waiting to hear from them regarding an appointment. The MSK Service can provide you with an update and they can be contacted on 01707 247416.

With kind regards
