Review titled Eating 'Humble Pie' ....
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Andrew Clarke - Posted on 03 July 2024
I have not always been kind about this surgery particularly when it comes to getting appointments. I must take back all previous negative comments after the service we received yesterday (2nd July) from everybody from the receptionist, the nurse through to the GP. I can only say that the comments were made in the heat of the moment having experienced a recent unfortunate medical emergency. The surgery team came together to assist my wife when she had a heart issue during an appointment and as a result prevented what could have been a tragedy further down the line. I can only offer my sincere thanks to everybody involved. So grateful !! It only remains for me to try to have my earlier negative review withdrawn.

Review titled Outstanding practice!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Patrick Darke - Posted on 02 August 2023
I'm 78 and moved to Southport in 20006. I've previously moved around a lot and this is absolutely the best practice I've ever used! The receptionists, the doctors, and the nurse are all friendly, helpful and very efficient. I had a heart attack a couple of years ago and they got a pacemaker implanted in me which has kept me feeling well. They also automatically arrange an annual review, and the nurse who conducts this is of the same high caliber. I know they are very busy, but they always find the time to see how they can help. Today I got a text asking me to contact them to arrange this year's review. Although she was very busy, when I phoned the receptionist took the time to ensure I was currently well, and found me a time for the review. I cannot praise this surgery enough. Some years ago I went with stomach pains. The doctor not only diagnosed appendicitis but also took me to the hospital himself, and he ensured the staff there were aware of what was wrong, and that I needed urgent treatment. I cannot praise their dedication and effectiveness enough. I'd just like to offer them all a heartfelt thank you.

Review titled Excellent Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Julie Simpson - Posted on 06 January 2023
After a shorth spell of ill health and recent hospital stay and also treatment of an ongoing medical condition, I cannot fault the service given to me by Ainsdale medical centre. The care and attention I have been given has been second to none despite the pressures facing the NHS at this present time so a big thank you to all concerned.

Review titled Respect runs both ways
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 December 2022
When you call this surgery, you are met with a series of instructions that the staff must be treated with respect and not abused in any way. Agreed .... this should always be the case. Has it occured to this practice however that the patient should also be treated with the same degree of respect ? In the first instance, it is always extremely difficult to get an appointment with a GP here. It is now becoming increasingly difficult to get assistance with prescriptions. My recent prescription could not be dispensed by my local pharmacy due to low stocks. The pharmacist whilst trying her best to assist suggested that I return to my GP to see if an alternative medication could be investigated. The receptionist on this occasion was, abrupt, unhelpful, offhand and offered no guidance whatsoever. Given that the medication was for hypertension which is aggravated by stress, the receptionist actually contributed to increasing my anxiety and stress levels with her lack of empathy. Once again as a result of this surgery's inflexibility, I was thrown back on my own resources to resolve the issue without the surgery's support. The pharmacy were excellent and offered the support which you would normally expect from a GP's practice.
