Original Feedback for Southgates Medical and Surgical Centre:

No communication

I used the website to ask for a call back on Friday 18th Sept. I received a message later that day saying I would have a ringback from a GP on Tuesday 22nd. I suffer with chronic pain and needed furthur analgesia prn. There was no phonecall on the Tuesday afternoon. My pain levels by this point were extremely bad. I had to take my son to the surgery that evening and as I was there I asked the receptionist what had happened to my call back. I was informed that the GP was self isolating and had called in sick and her calls had been reallocated. My call back would now be on Thursday 24th. No one had bothered to tell me. If I hadn't gone with my son, I wouldn't have known. I was in tears. I told the receptionist that i was very unhappy. She shrugged at me. After my son's appt. I spoke to a different receptionist and asked how I complained. I was still visibly upset. She looked again at the request and moved it to the next day's callback list. But had I not gone with my son, this wouldn't have happened and I would still have had no idea what was going on. Plus I was unable to find a complaints form on the website, so I have resorted to using this.
