Report
Absolutely disgusted with Maples Medical Centre, called at 08.20 as wanted to speak to a doctor! When I got call back at 9.09 was advised that there was no list today, told the receptionist that Id just had back surgery and needed to speak to GP, all the receptionist kept saying was sorry no capacity for list today advise her that I was disgusted and thought was an absolute disgrace that I couldnt speak to anyone! Was advised to ring 111 why, my first point of call is GP, NOT to call 111 and then more than likely be told to go to A&E. Im literally speechless that this has happened

Excellent doctors, always get an appointment when I need. Secret to getting one is when they tell you to ring NHS 111 they dont just tell you that to fob you off its because they allocate a certain number of appointments to them to book on your behalf.

I tried again and again to get an appointment for my sons' covid-19 jab. He should of had the jab long ago but they missed him out. He has ankyolis spondulitus and should of been attended MONTHS ago. I had phoned and phoned to no avail. They should be disgusted with themselves!! The attitude of their receptionists should to called to account. Lives are at stake!!

Lovely reception staff and helped me sort out my prescription at the desk! I am TERRIFIED of needles and have always had a phobia of needles + vaccines and bloods but the young girl that saw me was so professional, friendly and polite and I didn't even feel the needle. Safe to say that I might have overcome my phobia! Thank you A+++++++++
