I have been let down by a .misdiagnosis by a GP at this Health Centre which caused massive consequences to my wellbeing and life-changing disability. Seems like nothing has changed as a vital x-ray result wasn't relayed to my surgeon at Bristol for an upcoming appointment.

Highly disappointed with the treatment of my 93 year old mother who has been in severe pain for nearly a year. It took lots of phone calls before i got anywhere...practice kept insisting they would only speak with my Mother on the phone even though i told them she is very deaf...They should have that on her records?? Cant take her to A & E because they dont want to know. It should be obvious to a Doctor that some one Who is experiencing agony day & night is MAYBE not just suffering from arthritis!!!

A while back I tried to phone re an urgent missing item on a prescription, but got a message saying, approximately, "We are making improvements so we cannot handle your call, P*** Off!". That's poor. Even worse now! Phone one number and you are told to phone another one. The other number says, roughly, "We're closed. P*** Off. We're making improvements. Order on line."
I then try to register for the online prescription service. Similar message, "P*** Off! We don't do online."
Many other things wrong with this facility. Receptionists use their superior medical knowledge (!!??) to deny doctor

I have lived all over Taunton and therefore had the experience of multiple surgeries. This one is by far the best so far. The staff are efficient, the many doctors I have seen have been pleasant to deal with and rarely do I find appointments are late the times I have had to attend.
