"Worst service from a GP Surgery"

About: Chapel Street Medical Centre

I swapped to this surgery after moving to the area and have found it the worst I have ever experienced in the NHS in several decades. The phone service is often unanswered, the reception staff are arrogant and unhelpful, the GP's tend to avoid face to face consultations if they can send it to someone else to deal with. Overall a poorly managed and run service. I'd recommend that anyone looking to use them re-consider and, if possible, register elsewhere. They are a discredit on the NHS.

We are sorry to learn of your dissatisfaction when contacting the surgery recently and would welcome a meeting to discuss these further. Managing the appointment system is a constant challenge and you will appreciate that it is difficult to design a system that equitably satisfies all requests. Please rest assured we are providing face to face appointments and have been doing so throughout the pandemic. We do acknowledge that our telephone and appointment systems are not perfect, however we are working very hard on improving these for our patients and are continually monitoring them to ensure they are as good as we can make them. Any patient feedback we receive about the service we provide is very important to us, and we would welcome a further discussion in person regarding your recent experience. Dr Smith & Partners
