Armadale Group Practice 2016-05-13 Person 1 5 0

I have been attending this practice now for about 8 years since I moved to Armadale. My teenage son and I have been treated like liars and pieces of dirt once too often now and I think the majority of the GPs in this particular practice are just awful! For a start, you have to phone at 8am to get an appointment that day, however I have only ever managed to get through after about half an hour by which time the 'best' doctors appointments have gone. When you go in now, you get handed bits of photocopies paper telling patients that they must ONLY book appointments with the GP if need be, not to talk or 'minor ailments' and they have a 'minor ailments' clinic where a nurse will deal with patients! The GPs I have seen here make me feel like I am a liar, exaggerating, wasting their time and have no compassion whatsoever! My son also felt the same when he saw the GP (who he sees maybe once a year at most!!) - they told him there was nothing wrong with him, needs to get more fresh air etc. I really cannot believe how awful these doctors are, they have a cheek even calling themselves doctors as gone are the kind, compassionate ones of old - certainly in this practice! I will be trying to change practice asap if at all possible and will avoid seeing the GPs at this practice unless I am desperate!
