I went for my appointment as arranged on the phone after a nearly 2 hour wait, arranged 3 weeks before. The receptionist didn't know when I phoned, that I needed to tell her it was for a medical review, so I didn't say so and she didn't ask. She tried to fob me off to an econsult on the website. I had previously tried that and got nowhere, so I protested and eventually we discovered that with a medical review I was entitled to a face to face doctor meeting. When I arrived at the appointment I signed in on the screen. It said my appointment was at a different site. I always make appointments at Bishop's Park, as I know I can easily park, so I knew I wouldn't have made a mistake booking. I really couldn't believe this, so I said so to the receptionist, and said it was very frustrating as it was so difficult to get to the appointment due to work circumstances, and I was told it wasn't her fault, she reluctantly apologised. I knew she didn't mean it. She said no text had been sent to confirm. She said could I get to the other side of town in 20 minutes and be at my appointment. I said no. She was then extremely unhelpful and impolite when I asked if I could have checked what had been booked for me on the website anywhere. She seemed to find that insulting, when I was only asking what I thought was an obvious question. I was then told that I have to wait for more than another week before I can have the review. This really isn't working, is it, South St?
