Attempting to keep this as far as possible away from being a personal comment, it is necessary to a point as it reflects on the practice as a whole. I was new to the practice and I wonder if I had the same GP as another person has described, whom I had to persuade for several weeks to take my problems seriously. Eventually, tests showed an extremely serious illness requiring surgery. Was actually told elsewhere that it should have been tested earlier, given the descriptions I gave to the GP. It was life threatening.
A friend has also had a similar, though not life-threatening, problem with this GP.
I have visited a male GP at this surgery who is, while very efficient, still obviously always in a hurry. Having only seen two GPs I cannot comment on the whole practice.
Receptionists are efficient, if some of them perhaps a little too abrupt for people who are obviously there because they need help.
When I can find an alternative suitable medical centre, I will change, but it is hard to combine location, bulk billing etc as well as the right GP. However, I would recommend anyone asks other patients before picking a GP in this medical centre.
