Very good service

Very good service - it was easy to get an appointment and at a competitive price (£49) for general GP appointment. I was desperate as I couldn’t get into my usual GP for another 4 days and had been suffering with terrible sinusitis. The GP prescribed me much needed antibiotics and I was able to collect them from a pharmacist on the same day.

Very impressed by the consultation

Booked an appointment today for my elderly mother ( appointment was 2 hours after booking) who of course got ill on a weekend and taking her to Urgent Care is just too much at her age. Really didn’t know what to expect from the service as I’ve not used a private GP service before. Must say I was totally impressed with the doctor who called, his detailed questioning, not rushing. His diagnosis, explanation and explanation of things she can do that might help her feel better soon. Will absolutely be using this again next time NHS services aren’t at hand.

Absolute scam

Absolute scam. Doctors on the call tell you to call 111 or go to A&E! Just about for everything! No summary of consultation, no referral, no prescription. Advice to call 111! Laughable would have been if they didn’t charge 60£ for this useless 5 mins call. Avoid at all cost

Not sure about this one

The very fancy looking website covered in 5 star reviews (!) doesn't actually work as you cannot register or sign in. Tbh, along with some other factors, something about this particular 'service' feels a bit off. I think it's worth looking elsewhere as there are better online GP services in most areas.

I paid for £59 for an appointment that never happened. I had the confirmation email with time and date stating that 10 mins before appointment I would receive a link. Nothing happened, no call. I called customer service who said as they were a 3rd party couldn't do much and they couldn't see the appointment - just told me to rebook (even though they had no appointments left), Requested a refund so we will see how long that takes. Ended going to another online doctor service.

Rapid service

Rapid service. Very responsive to emails when we had misunderstood how to use the tests we were sent. Thanks to the person who replied very politely and helpfully to my stressed email at 1.55 am!

a waste of money, it's not a real GP appointment, it's just an advice

It's not a real appointment with GP it's just an advice. The doctor cannot prescribe a medicine. So I paid for him to tell me what I already know and the problem is still there, I have to wait for the usual GP appointment in several weeks, praying to God that my daughter doesn't end up in the hospital because her symptoms are getting worse.

I had a problem with them

I had a problem with them, a confusion because I am used to the appointment on site from Google result. But this time, the onsite consultation did not exist any more while in Google the link between Medicspot and the place of consultation still exists, which caused me confusion, and in the end I missed my appointment.
But after discussion, they are open and have refunded the consultation.
Thanks to their team.

Horrible experience, borderline scam.

This must have been one of the worst experiences I've ever had. My GP was 20 minutes late for the appointment and all he did is offered me a prescription for a medicine that doesn't require it and won't work for my condition. Additionally, it's almost impossible to get it filled this as they use a provider that doesn't work with most pharmacies. Complete waste of money and they refused a refund, stay away, this is a scam!

Hi Michel and thank you for your review for your appointment back in March.

The clinical complaints team reviewed this as per your request back in March, and found that, whilst the doctor initially proposed a medication, realised this could not be issued in a remote setting and contacted you 10 minutes after your appointment to confirm and change before issuing your prescription - which you were happy with.

In terms of your prescription, we use the Signature RX platform, which is accepted is 1000's of pharmacies across the UK, including Boots, Superdrug and Lloyds, and can be used at any pharmacy location using electronic prescriptions across the UK. You came across an issue at the first pharmacy you attended, however rather than following the clear support guidelines in your email, you chose to get an uber to a different location, and requested that we paid for this.

When your complaint was not upheld, you were then abusive towards our customer service team, which was not something we tolerate in a professional customer service setting.

Whilst I am sorry that you were disappointed in your experience at the time, we are confident that the hundreds of patients we see each week have a great medical experience with ourselves, and look forward to continuing to offer our legitimate, fantastic experience to all the patients using us now and in the future.

Kind regards,

Medicspot

Very impressed

Very impressed. After a bank holiday weekend I needed to see a doctor quickly. Unwilling to face the challenges of getting an NHS appointment, I made the decision to try Medicspot for the first time. The process of booking an appointment and setting up an account was easy. Email reminders of my appointment and text invitation to the call worked perfectly. The doctor was a few minutes late but on the call he was friendly, answered my questions and set my mind at ease quickly. The promised email with my prescription code was with me within thirty minutes. I will definitely use again and heartily recommend.

Go somewhere else

My doctor told me to google the nearest
doctor to me. Thanks for the £59 advice.

Was also very passive aggressive on the video call.
