"bad telephone manner"

About: Mather Avenue Surgery

This will now be the second time I have called this surgery as I am new and both times have been dealt with very poorly. The receptionist was not only rude and extremely short with me when I requested an appointment for today or tomorrow for blood results that are needed for me to take medication (I was told by doctor in same surgery to do this) she then repeatedly cut me off when asking for personal information as she was clearly fustrated/angry in some way. Not happy or impressed and got off the phone extremely frustrated. Worked in chemists my whole life and never encounted this especially in the medical industry. A certain level of respect should be shown to the patients.

Thank you for your comments. It is difficult for us to respond to them in detail due to the anonymity provided by the feedback system. If you would like us look in detail into your concerns please contact the surgery directly.

Routine appointments book 1-2 weeks in advance. For problems which are felt to be more urgent we offer a daily open access surgery where patients can attend on a day that suits them.

Again, if you would like us to look at your specific situation please contact us directly.

Dr Scott
