Amazing doctors, truly brilliant patient focused care. Absolutely shocking receptionists/secretaries. They are so rude, obstructive, arrogant and useless. Better off getting a computerised admin team to replace them, then this practice would be amazing.
Update: moved practices and manage to get timely and amazing care every time, no horrible powertripped gatekeepers.

I had a good service over all being a patient there for over 2 years. Even when I left and asked for documentations they helped me to get it.

I know the NHS is under huge pressure during the Covid pandemic but God help the people who have other health issues. Ive used Altrincham Medical Practice for decades, previously I could always get an appointment to suit my work schedule, albeit probably a couple of weeks away. Now every time I ring Im told all appointments are gone and to ring at 8am or 2pm, you cant schedule in advance anymore. Unless ill and off work, this is no good for me as I work full time. I fear their patients will be far sicker by the time they secure an appointment. Reception said I could call 111 if it was

Very disappointed to phone the surgery at 9.30am and be greeted with an unsympathetic and rude receptionist. I have thought about this all day, and although it's goes against the grain, I will be putting in a complaint tomorrow. Customer service is always important, but this is an environment that deals with patients mental and physical health issues. It's the first point of contact which should lead to whatever treatment is needed.
