Garforth Medical Centre

Written by a patient

Having been forced to leave my old GP's after moving areas in Leeds I signed up to this one for their recognition of workers needing early morning/ late evening appointments (something which I've not been offered before). I was helped to register and sign up for online appointments and even had an introductory appointment suggested and booked to continue my repeat prescriptions before I needed them again. 2 years in and I'd definitely recommend this practice. They're doing their best in a challenging time and find them much more modern and easier to access than my old GP. I'm not sure why people are suggesting they cant get appointments as daily updates are completed through their online portal and I've almost always been able to get an appointment for the next day, when needed. I have accepted appointments for up to a week away to help me get the time I wanted for non-urgent follow ups etc. too.

Made me wait an hour just to tell me they wouldn't see me. Utterly horrible practise.

Getting an appointment usually means a few days wait, especially if you want to see a particular doctor as most of the doctors only seem to work part time. There are three male doctors but only one of these is full time. There are more lady doctors but most have children and these too seem part time. Reception and waiting ares are good and are very clean. The practice has several nursing staff but again getting an appointment is not easy and isomer of the nurses also work part time so don't expect continuing of treatment

Have contacted the surgery today to make an appointment with a specific doctor after having hospital tests and no appointments available for 3weeks, let's hope test results are not bad news having to wait that long can cause unnecessary worry.

Called for an appointment at 10.30 Tuesday morning only to be told there were no appointments either this week or next. Why doesn't this surgery employ enough doctors for its patients?????????????????????? Greed!
