Croft Medical Centre

Had problems with joints / walking after endless nagging got blood tests then had symptoms of blood clot still couldn't get to see a doctor took myself A & E clot found . Been no interaction with the surgery as such Had further issues couldn't get appointment had to go Out of Hours Hurst Lane weekend appointment, got sent to hospital suspect clot plus high blood pressure . Doctor's GP delay four weeks over on my prescription for blood thinners.

Trying to get an appointment for a medication , that they say I need is impossible.

Tend to have a regular turnover of GPs and Locums are often used. Sometimes, you need to see a GP who knows you.

It is impossible to get through to the reception to make appointments. Wait is always at least 45 -60 minutes despite calling as soon as phone lines open at 8am. By this time all appointments are taken. Majority of reception staff are very rude.

Can never get an appointment don’t answer phone if you go to the surgery the receptionist asks you why you won’t to see the doctor in front of everyone then they decide if you see the doctor or not

Ring to see a doctor no give a ring back never do

Could hold the line at 8am every single morning and still be told you can’t get an appointment, even in mental health crisis. Told to wait until 8am the next morning. Only good thing about that practice is the healthcare practitioner [Name]. Has helped me through ALOT. Always very caring and takes time to actually listen and take notice. Especially when it comes to mental health.

I have now changed from these doctors, they are a disgrace. I was refused medication during lockdown that I’ve been prescribed for life by the hospital because it wasn’t essential. When 111 called the practice to say I need my medication they simply told them I was lying and didn’t need it. (My notes were changed to reflect what they said, I still have the screen shit of what was originally written) The receptionist are rude, you cannot get an appointment and it seems to be pot luck if you do get to see a doctor. I am disgusted this has not been investigated further. Need to be revamped and a lot of people need replacing, it’s lucky i changed GP as I was severely ill 9 months without treatment.

Can’t get an appointment even after coming out of A&E

Always say there is no appointments even if it’s serious
