i was a patient with Stoneleigh Surgery in Milnthorpe for many years and found the treatment i received was excellent. Since Ash Tree took over the running of the Milnthorpe surgery the treatment and handling of requests has reached rock bottom. I am unable to get past the 'Gestapo' type receptionist who refuses to give me an appointment unless i disclose my full medical history and agree to be veted fore being contact by phone by the doctor. i am then not allowed to choose the surgery which is closest to my home and the most convenient. Establishing a relationship with the doctor is in my opinion vital to good treatment but again this is not possible as you are told to like it or lump it when it comes to the doctor you see. I am a type one diabetic of over 56 years and i am old enough to know when i need to see a doctor. Very, very unimpressed!!!
