I visited the practice yesterday 14th October in the morning around 10am. I had stitches removed from my foot with a lovely caring nurse that told me to report to reception that I need it a sick note and had the flu jab. The receptionist who I haven’t seen before couldn’t be bothered with me, she clearly didn’t want me there. Taking to me like I was inferior, I never felt this small and so insulted before this experience. She kept repeating the same to me like I couldn’t understand her the first time and dismissing me, talking in a very rude and aggressive way. I was so shocked I forgot half of what the nurse told me to report to reception. I rang the bell to come back in to tell her what I forgot she again was very rude and clearly didn’t want to open the door to me but eventually did, again she was was so rude that I left there shaking and actually told her she was a very rude person before I left. No matter what we all going through there is no need to treat people this way, respect and kindness are free and in this type of jobs even more important. I have worked with customer service all my life and never encounter such a shocking behaviour.

My intention is with writing this review other people mostly the vulnerable don’t have to go through what I did yesterday. Absolutely appalling.

My family and I are now leaving this drs practice. We can never get an appointment with an actual doctor - even when our baby is poorly. Same story we are told time and time again - no appointments but you can see a nursing practitioner! The former are pretty lousy - but the latter are even worse. I imagine it is just a matter of time before a serious medical incident - life lost - occurs due the atrocious care given by this practice.

They were always nice and amazing with kids just never helped, never seen things that other doctors have seen straight away! They always said things like 'he'll be fine' or when I asked eg.why is my son has high fever for weeks , they answered 'I don't know what's wrong, probably a virus' ([name removed]) or 'no clue' ([name removed]) etc. so we left the surgery and it came out my son got enlarged adenoid and even turbonate so he was referred to ENT since and gets help. So even if they are very kind and friendly, they weren't very professional.
