"Poor service from receptionist"

About: Paston Surgery

I attended an appointment for a blood test which I believed to be at 10.10. It was actually 09.50. How ever I entered the surgery a minute or so before 10am as not wanting to be late for what I thought was my appointment. I arrived at the reception desk and mmwas told sorry, your late, then looked at her watch and said its 11 mins late. Anything over 10 we can't do anything. I was then told to book an appointment for the following week. I explained that I had taken time off work and was there any chance I could be still fitted in. I was told no. Not even a chat to see if I could be fitted in. Very very poor service from the receptionist in my opinion.

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear you are unhappy. If you can contact the Practice directly, we can properly look into the matter for you. As a general principle we send confirmation and reminder messages to patients wherever possible and unfortunately have very little capacity to squeeze patients in if they are running late.
