Share review of Dr D J Warden & Partners
I had an appointment at 10:40 today at collington surgery and after waiting 20 minutes the receptionist advised I was next after a phone call.
After another 20 minutes Dr Cockroft Came and toom another patient (the wrong one according to your receltuon) and advised me there's a 40 minute delay.
Considering I'm currently being monitored for high blood pressure and am battling anxiety within myself, I found this more than I could bare.
When I advised the receptionist I had just seen Dr Cockroft taking another patient she condescending told me I was wrong and advised me "there are a lot of people working here" her overall manner is less than helpful to someone battling to keep their cool.
I advised her of my mental distress hut she didn't seem to care and kept me waiting until, finally, she did as I asked in the first place and said someone would call me.
I'm sick to death of collington surgery. The whole practice has gone downhill since the merge. Today I am finding that is is affecting my ability to function, as I now need to spend time to try to bring my breathing back down from anxiety/panic attack levels and am notlw going to need to work to lift my mood.
The NHS is supposed to care and support, yet I see little of that.
