I was with this surgery for a number of years and during those there were a number of niggles however the final straw came for me when I couldn't walk more than 5 paces without catching a breath, the Dr did a peak flow which was on the floor and just gave me some hayfever tablets and a blue inhaler. I was later rushed to hospital with phnemonia!!!
Small niggles:
Never see the same Dr and the Dr I was assigned to were then changed frequently at their whim.
0845 number what a cheek.
I watched a Dr I had an appointment with leave the surgery and when I asked the receptionist some 30mins later where he'd gone she said ...a house call!! Obviously I complained that she hadn't told the waiting patients, I had taken time off work and had to get back, she got me in to see another Dr who threatened to strike me off as she complained about me!
Oh and they won't sign any forms for lighterlife even if you offer to pay and you don't have any medical ailments or medication. They prefer instead to refer you to a nurse who goes on about portion control! I'm not saying lighterlife is the safest diet but it was my choice they only had to sign to say I didn't have any pre existing conditions.
BEST DOCTORS ARE THE LANES IN LITTLEOVER AND VERNON STREET - you always get to see who you want, receptionists are great and the Dr's don't mess about if they think you should see a consultant or get tests/bloods. read more
