Not Happy with the Ro Creavin Medical centre

true, but, theres really something seriously wrong with our health system

Rowe Kraven are well known for being money money money. They are a disgrace.

Still don’t really know why anyone needs to get a consultation about Covid and travel from a GP

I’d have thought they are well known for being a GP and pharmacy. What do people want from a GP? It’s not exactly a restaurant where you can expect to get value for money or maybe pay a bit extra for an enhanced experience. If you want an appointment then you go and you pay the money, if you don’t want to pay the money then don’t go. It really is as simple as that.

I have noticed they go through a lot of doctors up there; one will start and you'll get used to them and suddenly they're gone. I am constantly seeing a new doctor over the years, which is fine but it is hard for me and for them with them not knowing me from Adam. I also have experienced an issue with the receptionists but only one in particular - S, having a bad attitude when I'm nothing but polite if not overly polite, booking an appointment over the phone and showing up only to say she accidentally booked someone else in and there's nothing can be done about it only book again, finally ordering repeat prescriptions only for her not to actually order them for me. I'll never understand whether she hates people or where she works, maybe it's both! But I prefer to avoid her myself. I haven't been in a while so I don't know if she's still there or not.

Otherwise they have good parking and fantastic nurses!

come mon up the johns hill medical. a few doctors left Rowe craven and moved there. I have an absolute gent of a Scottish doctor. after lock down i think i was nearly an half an hour in there with him. always felt fobbed off in Rowe craven

Well there's a space there now because I've left.

Lack of care from two doctors that I dealt with. Found the practice to be very money hungry.

My prescription was sent incorrect to the pharmacy but wanted more money from me to correct it. Basically another appointment to discuss it.

Took me a while to get out of there and I'm so glad I did. The mental strain of dealing with them was enough

ah, i call bullsh1t on this one, people dont forget that profiting is an element of such a practice, but when profiting becomes more of a priority over providing adequate care, we have a fcuking huge problem, people are not fcuking stupid, and people shouldnt have to fight for what they need, we re clearly experiencing a catastrophic failure of our health system, and we dont actually know what to do about it...

Yeah they were stingy alright. They could have listened to you for a minute and then decided if another visit was warranted. My point is there are plenty who would have just ignored what they were saying and ploughed on with their issue.

How do you get referred without seeing a GP?

the nhs has been moving towards this model over the years also, hence why it to is also having very serious problems, but our health care needs have dramatically changed over the decades, and we havent advanced our systems to accommodate it, we re in deep sh1t now....

Dont bother with Rowe Creavin, awful service. The turnover of doctors there is also huge which is never a good thing.
