"Terrible Service - Please train your staff!!!"

About: The Phoenix Practice

I went in to the surgery for a simple request - to register my son, however after I had spent half an hour filling in the registration forms, I went to give the forms to the receptionist and after saying Hello to her, she simply picked up the phone and made a call as if I wasn't there. I was then left waiting for another 10 minutes while she spoke on the phone - which was clearly more important than me even though I had already been waiting for far too long. When the receptionist took my forms she said that I couldn't register and would have to fill out new forms and come back at another time! I was there during the times when registrations are accepted and when I asked her why I can't register, she simply shrugged as if I should know!!! And this is only one of many incidences where I have been mocked and ignored and even laughed at when I had a genuine problem by reception.

When I asked to speak to a manager I was simply answered with a smug smile and a "There's no-one here now"

Completely terrible service, feel like I have been treated like dirt because the receptionists are mocking and don't care for your needs.

I am very sorry to read about your experience whilst trying to register your son at our practice. I have passed on a copy of these comments to our Head Receptionist Michelle. I will be discussing these comments and will be drawing it to the attention of the GP partners and the wider practice team next Thursday and Tuesday.

I would like to speak with you in person about this matter and would be very grateful if you could contact me as soon as possible.

Thank you and kind regards

Lhahir Ismail

Practice Manager
