Share review of The Armada Family Practice
Whenever I am unwell I am never confident of being able to see a doctor at the Armada Practice.
When I have complained to the practice manager about having difficulties making appointment I was left with the feeling that she wasn't interested in my complaint.
I am also not always convinced by the way my case notes are handled correctly by the Amada Practice.
On one occasion, having had two attempts at taking a series of medical tests, the doctor I was supposed to see, advised me that the results had been lost and I should take the test a third time - when I said I was unhappy about this and would make an official complaint my test results were quickly found. I was never told how come my results were found so quickly after I mentioned making a complaint when they could not be found before. I have not seen or spoken to this doctor again, even though I am registered with him.
Having said this, on the occasions when I have managed to convince the appointment makers that I do actually need to see a doctor, have navigated past the triage nurses, avoided seeing the doctor who lost my notes and mysteriously found them again, the two doctors who I have seen have both demonstrated good listening skills and have worked hard at diagnosing my illness.
