Very friendly surgery , everyone does their best to help . I have never had a problem with getting appointments when needed, even Monday mornings you can get an appointment all be it sometimes in the hub clinic if all tadworth appointments are gone but if you are ill then you will be able to see a doctor. Talking to friends in the area , this is the best surgery by miles
When the doctor refers you to ent at the hospital and are told to report back to your doctor and told to get in touch a week later because they cannot make any appointments until after Easter it is not acceptable

Needed to see Gp regarding medication ( for depresslon )called 08.30.
On first morning held in queue until 08.45. Was then told no appointments left . I said I only need to speak to Dr , I felt my medication was not really working wanted to know if I could increase the dosage. Nothing could be done was told they could not help,
I was advised to call next day ,or come to surgery and wait till it opened.
Second day I called at 08.30 got through at 08.40 , again told no appointments. Rang later in the day managed to get appointment @18.30 at nork clinic.
Total time was 34 hrs from first call.
My main problem is that I work 8 miles away from surgery.
I start @ 8.00.
I cannot be late for work whilst I Queue outside waiting for it to open.then get appointment @14,00.
Get to work 1.5 hr late then say by the way I have to leave @ 13.30 to go to my GP.
This would mean my total by the time I get back to work it would be 15.00.
I finish work at 16.00 .My employer only has 4 hrs work from me on that day.
Surely there must be a better system than this.
I CAN NOW UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE GO TO A&E FOR NON EMERGENCIES.
I tried to cancel my 9.20 appointment this morning at this practice. Nobody was answering the phones, 111 wouldn't help me and my own surgery who made the appointment did not call me back when I left a voice message to cancel the appointment (I did this yesterday afternoon). Did you ever receive the message from Fitznells that because I felt better and no longer needed to see a Dr today for you to cancel it? I am quite duisgusted by the lack of communication between 111, Fitznells and yourself and especially with you not answering the phone today.
Best surgery in the area , I have seen some very "challenging " members of the public while in the waiting room and the staff are always polite even when this has happened
