Re: Doctors appointments
 

If the referral hasn't been done then im going to have to change doctors:angry: cos im sick of this!!

So anymore recommendations? Dr Dixons surgury & one on Abbey st/warner st are ones so far?

Re: Doctors appointments
 

Well I can't say anything about the other doctors because I don't know them.. But you said you wanted easy access.....and the nearest one is Dr.Dixons, and being a patient for 9 years I can say I trust them and their opinion on things and I think they are cracking doctors.

Re: Doctors appointments
 

Yeh thats true, are they taking new patients on & silly Q coming up how do i go about it:confused:

Re: Doctors appointments
 

well my mum got me on with them......not sure if they are taking new.

If you just pop in and ask the receptionist for the forms for new patients, she will be able to tell you.

Re: Doctors appointments
 

I don't work at the home Dr Dixon owns. He's just the GP of some of our clients.
He's one of the best and I wouldn't change him if they paid me to do so. He puts you totally at ease and gets things done.
They are all good at Myrtle House, always ready to help.

Re: Doctors appointments
 

My family also go to Drs Dixon and Manuel, wouldn't change them for the world. Excellent nurses and receptionists, and they will always try and fit you in on the same day.

Just managed to change my Dad to the above Doctors from Dr Gupta, wouldn't touch him with a barge pole but that's another story. There is about a six week waiting list accymel, you can either ring up or pop in to put your name on the list. When you do get to the top they contact you, then you get the forms to fill in.

Cheers Sara have u got their number handy?

Re: Doctors appointments
 

01254 233651

Hope you manage to get on, it is a great surgery.

Re: Doctors appointments
 

Sarah – is the Dr Gupta you mentioned Dr AK Gupta? A short, thin Indian (probably) man around the age of 50 or so. His car has a personalised number plate that can be read as Gupta with a little bit of imagination.

If it is then he also has a practice in Darwen.

Re: Doctors appointments
 

Sorry don't know what he looks like, but his surgery is on King Street in Accrington.

Re: Doctors appointments
 

Cheers Sara will do :D

Re: Doctors appointments
 

It must be good they are busy like hotcakes today - i'll keep trying to get through & cross fingers;) :D

Re: Doctors appointments
 

King Street Surgery brings back awfull memories for me ..... after an op that got badly infected a needed a doctor to prescribe antibiotics (its a long story which i wont go into but lets just say Dr Motapali / Kundu had struck me off, 100% not my fault).
I managed to hobble into the King Street Surgery, temperature sky high, sweating profusely. I was filling in the paperwork to join when Dr Gupta walked out of his room, he took one look at me and called me over to him. He then said "Can you please leave the premises before i ring the police, we do not tolerate drug abusers here" . I hobbled out in tears. Later on that day when the district nurse came to change my dressings i told her what had happened, she went ballistic.
So through my dealings with some local doctors i now have a phobia against them.
