Booked a 2.30pm appointment as I felt I had a build up of wax in one ear. Arrived, checked in and was told to sit in waiting area. Obviously nearing Christmas there was a fair amount of merriment at reception which seemed to result in a longer than usual wait. An elderly lady sitting next to me actually said “I think they have forgotten we are here, I have a 2.30 appointment”.
At 2.45 I was called in by my first name, no apology for the wait just a check that I was here for possible wax removal. I confirmed this was the case and signed the disclaimer, after which he looked in my right ear for five seconds, then my left ear for five seconds and said they were clear and did they feel blocked. I said yes, and he suggested I ‘make an appointment with your GP, and that’s £25 please’. I asked what about the their advertised complete ear health check …. if we don’t find wax “we'll complete a full ear health check, which costs £25.” I asked about the full ear health check and he said you’ve just had it! £25 pounds for about 30 seconds of looking in my ear and suggesting I see a GP.
The most unprofessional service I have ever encountered. My wife is due an appointment tomorrow but is cancelling as can’t afford another £25 possibly ten seconds of someone looking in her ears!!
Incidentally my last visit ever to specsavers.
……Follow up… saw my GP who immediately informed me my ears were red and inflamed, specsavers didn’t even pick this up on their full ear health check!! Now on antibiotics.
