    I had to visit Charring Cross hospital because I had issue with my GP. I've checked in with strong head pain, ear and throat pain and in general bones (jaw etc.). The nurse checked my blood pressure, and CHECKED MY THROAT WITH HER PHONE FLASH - in 0.02 sec she was convincd I don't have Quincy. Fair enough, I'm giving them 2 stars because they took my blood fairly quickly and mind you I only went there with a flu - am aware that I am not top priority patient. I've been waiting for over 6 HOURS already and I am not yet to be seen by any doctor. There are people with me who have been waiting for 9 HOURS. I understand some patients are of higher priority but dear me they do t even allow you to grab food because " if you get called and you are not in they'll cross you off of the list" - isn't that fun!

    One of the worst A& Es. Came in with something in my eye which caused sharp pain. Was seen by practitioner after 2.5h. Wasnt even thorough examination. Gave me paracetamol as if this can remove stuff from my eye. Was told to wait for GP. Waited another 1h and never was called in so went to a different hospital after 4h of waiting. They kept saying i was next in the queue which wasnt true. If you can avoid dont go there. They wont help and wont see you unless you are dying.

    Went in on Tuesday 26 April after being referred by GP. GP thought it was enough of an emergency to write a letter to explain everything and asked me to go to A&E immediately. I do understand that there is wait and list of priorities as to who is seen first but the service was appalling. Despite having a letter and explaining everything 3 times (receptionist, nurse, and another triage nurse) I had to explain it yet again to the GP that saw me after 3 hours. Because of my injury I couldn't even sit, so was left standing and almost ended up fainting, despite asking if there's anyway I could lay down (was told there are chairs to sit so I should be fine). The GP couldn't resolve it of course (as the letter from the previous GP already explained! and I did as well) so he left me waiting again to speak to a surgeon. That was another hour of waiting. At this point it was midnight. Surgeon admitted me in and they did some blood test to prepare me for the emergency surgery. After the blood test I was waiting another 3 hours to hear anything. AT 3AM A NURSE CAME AND SAID I HAVE TO LEAVE AND THEY CANNOT TREAT ME! They told me I have to go now and go to another hospital the next day. After spending 7 hours standing in pain and unable to sit I was sent away without any treatment or explanation. They were unable to tell me why I have to go to another hospital. I wasn't offered transportation or any pain medicine. They completely agreed it is emergency because they issued another document for me to give in the 2nd hospital, yet refused to treat me. (Thankfully the 2nd hospital was kind and I got the emergency surgery quite quickly on 27th, I was also offered a bed to lay down in before the surgery while waiting, so I do recommend st Marys hospital because of that.) Now I have to go back to this bloody place for dressing change and already feel extremely stressful about it. That is not how I should feel considering I should be able to trust doctors with my health and life. Very traumatic experience.

    Yeah, it was a long wait. But the quality of care I received was exceptional when finally able to speak to GP. And, given I wasn't in an emergency, I have no qualms with waiting a few hours so that folks who need care more than me could get it.

    Sadly worst service. Very slow. Long wait. No assurance from staff. Staff are not accommodating. They donโ€™t seem to care for the patients. Just kept walking around trying to look busy but in reality thereโ€™s just 5 patients around. Terrible service. No sense of urgency at urgent care department.

    Excellent team of Doctors and Nurses (esp Patrick and Galileo). Despite being completely overwhelmed, they did their very best. It was a long wait due to things beyond their control but they did their best and it reflected in the care. Thank you although I hope not to visit again ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜…

    Received an excellent service, from receptionist to doctor in their urgent care department. I'm really impressed, things are finally returning to normal.

    Like one of the other reviews notes, the waiting time depends on how many people need to be attended. I only waited 30min when I went the first time but had to wait 3 hours another time. The staff is really friendly and professional. And efficient. Thank you for taking care of my broken hand.

    My experience as a patient with possible covid was okay, everyone was nice the door man, receptionist, nurse, doctors I had my blood tests and waited 3 hours and got served in between and got my temperature checked every now and then i had high fever with severe cough and they guided me towards the right meds, Overall as an ER department i really recommend it because it is not packed and everyone is friendly

  • 1/5 Reviewer G. 2 years ago on Google
    I was seen by a white male, bald slender and tall, probably in his 50s, wore glasses. His tone in his voice was rude from the minute he spoke to me. He even had the cheek and audacity to say to me โ€œwhy did you come to a&eโ€ bare in mind it was 4 am in the morning and there was only two people in the waiting room. He didnโ€™t even give me the privacy of closing the door but the door was left wide open for practically everyone to hear (receptionist staff and waiting room patients). I went to a&e because I had shortness of breath, I could only breathe through my mouth, nose was blocked and I had other symptoms - not covid related. I was dismissed and sent home, no bloods or swabs done. Literally nothing done. Spent probably less than 5 minutes with him trying to berate and patronise me. He even gave me incorrect medical advice unknown to him I have medical knowledge and Iโ€™ve been working in the medical field for 9 years. I watched him lie and tell me incorrect medical advice, but I simply did not have the energy to correct him. Whoever he is whether heโ€™s a hca, nurse etc does not deserve to be working at the forefront. When I went home, a few hours went by I fainted and a few hours went by I began coughing up blood. Iโ€™ve got my diagnosis now. But God forbid other patients see this man. He can definitely cost lives. If I really wanted to I can file a medical negligence case. But itโ€™s not even worth it.

    Friendly, respectful and efficient staff. I'm a tourist visiting London for work and was treated here for acute shoulder pain. I received an exam, diagnosis and treatment within 2 hours, for free. Compared to the healthcare system in the United States, this experience was astonishing.

    My mum required some medications due to recent anxiety attacks. We were greeted with quick, friendly and helpful medical staff. We resolved the issue within two hours, despite it being a Sunday and a full waiting room!

    Seen for throat pain. Doctor didn't look down throat and made me where a mask. What's the point?

    Used the walk-in service and found it to be excellent. Everyone throughout the process - receptionist, triage nurses, doctors and pharmacists - were all extremely kind, empathetic and skilled.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ With all hospitals & walk-in centres, you have to be patient and prepared to wait, no one gets preference over another patient unless itโ€™s life threatening. Thereโ€™s no point in arguing with the receptionist because sheโ€™s only a receptionist, wait your turn or go home.
