"Unbelievably curt, rude and uninterested"

About: Phoenix Medical Group

The Receptionists are rude and curt, you can never get an appointment, telephone is now the only way and can never get through, when you do get through the appointment is for 1 week away, they have now started to charge for travel vaccinations, something which we are all entitled to get for free on the NHS and this has never been chargeable in any surgery I've been to previously (Diphtheria, Polio, Tetanus, Hep A I refer to) many Doctors have left evening telling me the real reasons why. We are unable to move surgeries because the others in the area are not taking on any more new patients. If you can help it, please do not use this surgery, go elsewhere.

The Phoenix Medical Centre does not charge for services available on the NHS, including vaccinations required for reasons of travel included in the NHS regulations.

However, in certain cases [such as children going to remote areas of undeveloped countries, patients undergoing certain drug treatment or requiring Yellow Fever Vaccination] we do advise attending a specialist NHS travel centre.

All other local practices are taking on new patients living within their practices boundaries, and would be happy to register you wish to change your GP.

Advice on how to register will be on the website of the practice of your choice.
