1511/04/2025 14:5311/04/2025 15:07anonymousPoorI gave an answer of poor,  because following on from my visit to the doctors due to the pains in my lower leg and knee, I went for an x-ray, after which I then received a phone call approx 8 days later from the doctors reception to arrange for a telephone appointment 8 days later. This appointment was scheduled for between 3.15pm and 3.45pm ( during these times, I was available). The person made the call at 2.55pm, whilst I was at work, and left a message to say that , I had missed my telephone appointment,  and that they would send a text message with a detailed explanation.  The message that I then received, read ” Dear Mr Bond,

missed telephone call today

Regarding recent x-ray
no major concerns
Thanks, Catherine Ali
Barrowford Surgery. “

Although Catherine chose to make the call early, I was available at the designated time slot, and should have received a second call back. I understand that Catherine  has “no major concerns”, this is neither detailed nor helpful to me !

I find the response,  very dismissive and this detailed diagnosis could have been delivered on the initial call , which would have saved to telephone appointment,  and made this available for another patient.

I still however am experiencing leg and knee pains. Which have not gone away.
Thanks and best wishes,
Neil Bond 
You could have phoned me during the designated appointment time.

You could have delivered a detailed response.

You could have been a thorough, as I now have to make additional appointments to follow this up myself.

She was really easy to talk to and I ended up spilling my life story 🙂 Sorry AlexWell as with every GP surgery these days you get signposted to other places by a receptionist. I’ve even spoken to a receptionist who fancied herself as a dietitian and her dietary advise was “don’t eat anything that you like’ great.
We have been at this surgery for about 2 years and we’ve not seen a doctor yet even though we’ve attempted many times.
On this occasion though Alex was better.

4316/04/2025 15:1216/04/2025 15:16anonymousPoorI called worried about lyme disease, bloods were taken but they didn’t test for lyme disease, then they booked me an appointment with a physio who obviously couldn’t help. It took me two or three weeks to get the blood test. Lyme disease needs to be diagnosed and treated early so i think this was poor service.Got me the test that i asked for straight away.
