I have not had any positive experiences. I now have meet three different doctors. The first two doctors I have found to be rather cold and unfriendly. One of the doctors even said 'please make another appointment as I will not have time with my own paitients'. What does that mean? My second unpleasant experience is the time delay in getting perscriptions and administration delays. The latest, script request 19th May 2014 just going today to Boot's High Street.

Response from Davenport House Surgery

Thank you for leaving feedback. I am unsure as to why your prescription has taken so long to process. For repeat medication that is, ones that the GP has agreed you can have on multiple occasions without a review, the turnaround time is 2 working days although those sent electronically can be processed within the day. For medications that have either run out of repeats or are not on the repeat system the process is different. Generally doctors need to see a patient before these can be reissued so that they can review their care and ensure that the medication is still appropriate. However, occasionally the GPs are happy to reissue and so these requests are sent to your doctor for review and a decision; this can take several days. For a prescription to take 3 weeks to get to the chemist is highly unusual but without more detail I cannot identify the problem. In terms of your experience with the doctors I would be happy to talk to you and feedback your comments to the GPs involved: I suggest that you contact me at the surgery.
