a year agoHighly do not recommend. I asked for a very simple but very important repeat prescription to be put through last Thursday. Went to pick it up at the chemist on Saturday but was told it hadn’t been put through. At this stage I am out of the important medication. Rang back on Monday, told them I am out of the medicine and asked for it to be put through. Went to the chemist on Tuesday and was told it was not there. Went and visited the doctors the same day and told them I need the prescription ASAP. The receptionist gave me a physical copy to give to the chemist Went to the chemist on Friday and the prescription could not be put through as it had no barcode. The doctors then emailed the chemist the wrong prescription when they asked them to correct it. So I go into the doctors once again and I am given a prescription for…. The wrong medicine!! I cannot understand how hard it is for them to put through a prescription correctly. As a result of their lack of organisation I have been without this important medicine for a week and my health is now at risk. I emailed them on Monday addressing my concerns and have not had a reply. The receptionist is usually nice but rolled her eyes at me when I came in saying I need the medicine today. They also don’t answer the phone. The nurses and female doctor are nice.

a year agoNot my own but my partners experience we went in last week to get a renewal for a doctors cert for work and income and the doctor went off his opinion and put down he could go back to work well knowing my partner inrs ain’t stable what the doctor has done to us now is he’s put us in hardship cause of his opinion in all seriousness he wasn’t even professional instead text through a message that you can’t reply to my partners living situation has been jeopardized cause of it this is the 2nd time we’ve met this doctor he doesn’t even know us he’s South African sorry couldn’t remember his name prior to that we’ve seen a nurse there and she YouTubed how to stick a needle in my partners stomach cause she thought his bloods were low not long after that we ended up in hospital how many times do we have to go through b.s with use

2 years agoI know there is a shortage of doctors, but OMG that Dr Colin is terrible, happy enough guy but he didn't take my health issues seriously at all which is so unprofessional, he gave me no indications of what could be the problem and then pretty much brushed it off as poor diet, I wouldn't recommend this doctor at all. I ended up going to the A&E doctor to get the answers I was looking for. The phone/video call doctor on the other hand is always good, the reception staff are very nice, the centre has lots of off street parking and a large waiting room. 5 stars if not for the doctor, maybe he was just an on call doctor?
