I booked an appointment on the 6th April, and the earliest appointment I could get was 3rd June. I think a two month wait is a bit excessive.

Suggested improvements
I don’t know how a surgery operates, but I think more appointments are needed, but you will need more doctors to service them, so then more people could be seen in a day which might shorten waiting times. I was looking for a solution to my problem, but the doctor said he wasn’t worried about what I was there for, and that he was going to leave it, but if it got any worse that I should go back.

It is easy to get a routine appointment but the length of time before you get it sometimes might be a problem

Suggested improvements
I had to wait 10 minutes after my designated appointment time before I was seen. If I’d arrived 10 minutes late would I still have been seen?
