GPs Reviews

I hear so many people moaning about their GP or the NHS system in general and whilst there are major flaws in the way things are run, I am extremely impressed with the way I have been treated up until now. I am one of those people that tend to book my appointments on the day that I need one and I've never had a problem with this; I ring ...  Read the complete review

It seems that this has received a mixed set of reviews. However it really does seem to be a case of identifying who the gp's are which you feel comfortable with and sticking with them. In my case I am fortunate that my appointed gp is someone I have a lot of respect for. In the worst of times he has been a sympathetic ear and has been able to ...  Read the complete review

Getting an appointment at my surgery is a ridiculous process nearing on mission impossible most days. I swear, my GPs surgery is being run my morons! There is no conceivable way of attaining an appointment 'in advance' at my surgery and so you can only obtain an appointment on the day. Traditionally they (receptionists) say that you ...  Read the complete review

I find it quite alarming the number of bad reports I hear about GPs- I have always found the practice I go to is excellent. But I am now going to say something which may be controversial. Maybe I have a good relationship with all the Doctors at the clinic because I am a good patient? I learned how they felt about me on two occasions- ...  Read the complete review

Although my GP is very good i think the general practice is rubbish. When you ring up you get put through to an automated service which asks you to chose from a number of options. When you press the option for an appointment the phone can ring and ring and ring until youre put back onto the automated service! When you finally do get ...  Read the complete review

I have mixed feelings about my current surgery, although it is much better than my previous surgery. At the previous one I found it hard to even try and see my doctor, he's a bit on the scary side with that high tone of voice which makes you feel like your being told off and you know nothing at all. He just makes you feel so small. The reception ...  Read the complete review

In the past, if you were ill and wanted to see your doctor, then all you needed to was go to your local GP, and wait a little while. However, nowadays, it is much harder. Because doctors these days are taking on so many patients, the waiting list seems to constantly growing, and by the time you are able to get an appointed, what ever was wrong ...  Read the complete review

I had to transfer to the health center i am reviewing now after moving house 4 years ago as we no longer lived in the catchment area for the surgery we were previously at. We chose this surgery as it is the closest to our house even if that is still 4 miles away and more so because it has 6 doctors 4 nurses 2 midwives and a health ...  Read the complete review

I would like to tell my story about an incident at my local doctors, Ever wanted to make an appointment at your local doctors only to be told you have to phone in the next morning at 8.30 to see if there is an any open appointments? Yes well peeps I have a tale to tell about my experience at my doctors......... My 13 year old ...  Read the complete review

It is unlikely that there is a single person alive in Britain today that hasn’t at one time or another sought the services of their local GP and been grateful for the availability at the time of need. But the hard-pressed GP is being abused with frivolous call outs thus depriving a genuinely sick person from getting the attention that they ...  Read the complete review

I have been with my doctor’s surgery for nearly 7 years and my husband for nearly 3 years. Prior to joining this surgery I was with another that was run by just one doctor along with a mid-wife and a nurse. I cannot fault the doctor, nurse, mid-wife or the surgery what so ever. He treated me with respect, was always polite, ...  Read the complete review

Recent media reports have been telling us how stressed NHS GP's are. Their workload is huge and it's their patients that make life so stressful. It is claimed that as many as 80% of appointments with a doctor are not medically necessary. People fill up appointments books and surgery waiting rooms to consult their GP's about ...  Read the complete review

My G.P now is brilliant and as we have been through quite a bit as a family it is nice to know that you can call on your G.P. without encountering any major problems with the receptionist. This was not the case for us three years ago though. My son was just over a year old and we had a different G.P. at a different surgery. We had been ...  Read the complete review

Patient: Could I get an appointment to see Doctor Bloggs? Receptionist/Bouncer: The first appointment for Doctor Bloggs is in 2 weeks. Patient: Haven’t you got anything earlier? Receptionist/Bouncer: Are you ill Patient: That’s why I want to see the Doctor Receptionist: What’s wrong ...  Read the complete review

General Practitioners - undervalued members of the medical profession, and of society in general, in my opinion. GPs are looked down upon by many hospital physicians and surgeons. Members of the public are, also, all too quick to blame the doctor for everything. The number of cases of patient's suing their GPs is rising. Soon we ...  Read the complete review

More of a question than an opinion. but, who is the doctor ? is it the man or woman that's sits in the small room marked"doctor" ? or is it the ladies who sit in reception drinking tea and slating the person who just phoned to make an appointment ? I'm not too sure anymore ! All I wanted was for my doctor to ...  Read the complete review

Ummmm hope the title doesn't get deleted but its not offensive, just a mere play with a word. This opinion is more to do with a check up that I have come back from after having a rather off kick to my testicles. It happened a few weeks ago at Tae kwon do session, and although I was wearing a "box", it must of slipped as the ...  Read the complete review

Been a mum I really depend on my doctor a lot as my son has asthma when my son was first born I argued with the doctors that he had asthma but they kept saying he did not until one night he turned blue and was having trouble breathing. I was going to call the emergency doctor but knew I would be waiting several hours for them to come so I took ...  Read the complete review

Three years and nine months ago I made an appointment to see my Doctor. The reason being I needed more contraceptive pills, having three children,I did not want anymore. The first words my Doctor said to me as I entered the room were "do you smoke". I replied "yes". He then proceeded to take my blood ...  Read the complete review

Having read an excellent opinion by GR-Design, a trusted fellow dooyooer (GP’s - Can you trust what they tell you ) I am prompted to write my opinion on this subject. Generally speaking, I do trust the good people who work in the NHS. Overall, they appear to be dedicated souls, who really do care about other human ...  Read the complete review
