"The worst customer service ever."

About: Bridge House Medical Practice

I live exactly opposite the clinic, for two times I needed to see the doctor. The first time I found myself on the floor because of the extremely high temperature. I called the clinic to ask for an appointment explaining that I have never ever had the temperature so high and that I fainted because of it. They told me they could not give an appointment on the same day and the first availability was in 2 days. So the direct me to the pharmacy or at the emergency. I have explained that I was alone at home and I reckoned better to see a doctor as soon as possible, instead of a pharmacist or waiting hours at the emergency in that conditions. In the end, I went to the emergency in the evening with my partner, and I was sent home with paracetamol. On Saturday I had an appointment in Wood Green with another clinic opened during the weekend, and the GP found me an "aggressive chest infection".

The second time I have booked an appointment for a general check, I did mention to the secretary that I could have been late due to commuting from my workplace (very far from the clinic) and the usual delays on the tube. I was 10 min late, and they cancel my appointment, nevertheless, more than once me and my partner where left waiting even for 20 minutes after having an appointment booked.

I will definitely change the clinic.

We're sorry to hear you're unhappy with the service you received. It's always worth asking to speak to the practice manager at the time, who can look into the matter for you. We offer advance appointments, on-the day appointments for urgent matters and telephone calls for on-going issues or those that don't require a physical examination. There are also appointments available at the weekend in other practices as we work with our local GP federation.
