The medical centre located on Broadway Road, Broadway, Ilminster, posted both online on their official Facebook page and also put up a sign outside the building about the repeated instances of homophobic slurs being graffitied within the surgery.
The team at the practice said in the Facebook post that they are "extremely disappointed" about the homophobic graffiti and, whilst they know it does not represent the "lovely" wider Ilminster community, they will not tolerate it.
Although they have not yet gone to the police about this issue, they have said that any further instances will be reported straight to the police and they are currently monitoring the situation closely.
Many people have been commenting across social media how they find this type of behaviour "awful" and unforgiveable.
One such spokesperson said: "That's disgusting. This level of ignorance should not be tolerated. We are one world."
