Combs Ford Surgery


Had to go to Ipswich for a blood test

Can't believe I couldn't walk the 5 minutes to this Dr's and have a blood test done, but drive to the other side of Ipswich to have it done. Was told that a lot of Dr's surgeries won't do blood tests locally and that two phlebotomists are leaving. What about people who don't drive or have access to a car ? It took me a 2 1/2 hour round trip to get the blood test done, if I had to get the bus it would have been a day trip !
