i have no problems getting an appointment at any time and my doctor is a fantastic doctor listens and is very understanding
When you actually get an appointment the doctors are professional, friendly and the service is exactly as you would hope. But, there is not enough capacity to make an appointment when is suitable for an individual who is working full-time. Not all appointments are emergencies and it is not acceptable to have to take a morning or afternoon off work for a 10 minute consultation. There should be more flexibility in making appointments that match work / life commitments.
Dear Patients
Thank you that you take time to review our practice and give us feedback about the things we are doing well and the areas we need to improve. I am sorry if you have felt disappointed in the service we provide.
We have taken this on board and over the next 6 months i will be looking at appointments and access, particularly, and how we can improve the care for all involved.
I would like to get your feedback and input on this. If you have posted anonymously but are willing to help move things forward so we can understand things through 'your eyes',
please can you email me through the practice email for my attention.(link below) https://poplar-grove.co.uk/ContactUs.aspx?tabid=59&subtabid=106
Many thanks Dr Joanna Dent
Great difficulty in getting an appointment, have to go in person and then come back later on. Doctor questioned why I had an appointment. Told to make a follow up appointment regarding another matter, tried to do that and guess what-you cannot make an appointment until they work! Overall unpleasant experience and has gone down hill rapidly since the merger and enlargement. Will be looking to register elsewhere as the system is failing and will hopefully not be made to feel like a criminal for using the service.
Getting an appointment is impossible. Surgery seems to not have any idea as to my medical history. Enlarged practice has made what was a poor practice even worse.
