"Rubbish"

WHY has this surgery got a rating this high?! I suspect some of the reviews are "embellished".

I am now in the process of changing my medical centre, due to these reasons. Numerous times I have had to wait for absurd amounts of time in the waiting room for my appointment,usually waiting for a Dr. who swans in late himself. The record being 70 minutes, even though I was early for the appointment. A woman at the same time with two small children had been waiting for 50 minutes.

Another time I was told by a Dr, that my bp was unusually high. This worried me greatly, but I was told by three separate professionals that it was not unusually high.

I am being asked by the DWP to provide a "fit note", to prove that I have amongst other things, flat feet. The Dr wanted to charge me £25 for this, and wasnt swayed by the fact that I am on Universal credit.

The last straw was being refused a prescription for a skin complaint. No reason was given whatsoever.I have followed the instructions and not used too much of the medication. I have had to suffer a weekend with terrible itching, then be told there are no more telephone appointments because I didnt phone this morning. Also as I cannot attend a appointment tomorrow I will have to wait and suffer until the weekend or later to find out if I,ll be given this treatment. No sympathy was offered, that I have been suffering. The implication was that I am partly responsible because I cant keep the appointment tomorrow. A simple email to the doctor and then contact with me would be a easy solution.( Do NOT join this surgery.)
