Review titled Not a good service at all - who is in charge?
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 May 2023
The receptionist decides who sees a doctor and who doesn't. Default seems to be to send as many as possible to the Tollgate "wait in a queue" at 8 am, where you could be waiting for up to a couple of hours to see a doctor. How can the elderly and infirm put up with this? This reflects very badly on this practice. It used to be run much better than this. A great shame on the community. It's akin to something like a barber shop than a GP Practice I'm afraid.

Review titled Supportive
Rated 5 stars out of 5

My experience is yes it can be a long wait to get through on phone and a long wait but I know the reception can only give you an appointment if available and overall I’m very happy and each GP is superb

Review titled Appalling patient care
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 January 2023
Phoned at 8am and waited 2hours 17 minutes for an answer. Only to be told no appointments available at all and to either attend as an emergency walk-in or go to a&e. Receptionist was rude and unhelpful and hung up!

Review titled Excellent Practice (Walk-in at Tollgate)
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Wendy Wright - Posted on 21 February 2023
Apart from having to queue outside in the cold, once inside the staff were very efficient in marshalling everyone. I saw a new GP who was brilliant, he took time to listen to my woes then arranged scans and medications and explained everything clearly to me. I know times are very difficult for the surgery at the moment but I received top class service, it just took a little patience. Thank You
