Review titled Used to be great, but not anymore
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Becky - Posted on 07 June 2024
Used to be a great surgery, but is now let down by one or 2 atrocious GP's, with zero patient care who believe it is acceptable to wait 3 weeks for just a telephone appointment when have symptoms which could be cancerous. (After I had been told by Reception staff I could speak to a kind GP in a few days time)

Dear Becky, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, I am sorry to hear how you have felt following your recent experience with the practice. eConsults are reviewed by a clinician, usually by the end of the next working day and an appropriate clinical outcome is decided upon based on the information provided by the patient, past medical history and current care being provided for the symptoms disclosed. Where it is considered there are symptoms of a more urgent nature the clinician will ensure this is dealt with in a timely manner. I would be happy to look in to your concerns further if you could provide additional detail to hiowicb-hsi.atherleyhousesurgery@nhs.net and mark it for my attention. Kind regards, Shaun Austin, Practice Manager

Review titled Unpleasant Experience
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 May 2024
I have to call the surgery this morning as I am quite worried about my husband's wound. I politely asked to the ?receptionist if she can find out what is happening with the surgical referral that was done a month ago. She told me the status of the referral in a very 'rushed' and impolite manner that seems like she wants to put down the phone on me right away. I feel I was not given a chance to ask more questions and this attitude is not really acceptable especially for us who are already stressed about our own family's health.

Review titled Poor communication
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 August 2023
They aren't very smart at communicating online. Following an econsolt they sent me a request for more information over SMS from a short code number that I can't reply too. So how am I supposed to provide the info they are asking for?

Review titled Highly professional practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 June 2023
I have had suffered from a few health issues recently. The receptionist has booked my appointment in a timely manner and my GP has listened to me, has asked additional questions and has examined the area of concern, and later has referred me to the relevant specialist. I highly recommend the professional service provided by the staff at the Atherley House Surgery.

Review titled Poor Communication
Rated 2 stars out of 5

Asked by GP text to make a telephone appointment to discuss my cardiac drugs with her. Have tried to make an appointment several times but receptionist unable to book in advanced as books are closed for 3 days in a row. I’m working.. so need to plan for my days off. I’m new to this surgery and understand the pressures GP surgeries are under but it’s quite rude attitudes from the reception staff . Makes me feel an inconvenience and reluctance to even phone again. I do use the NHS app but can’t book an on line telephone appointment.

Dear Patient, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, I am sorry that on this occasion your experience with the surgery has been unsatisfactory. Over the last week we have had sickness among the GP team which has unfortunately had a significant impact on the number of routine appointments that we have been able to offer, I am sorry if this was not explained clearly at the time you made contact with the surgery. If you find it difficult to contact the surgery to make an appointment due to work commitments I would recommend completing an eConsult in the first instance, this is a short online medical questionnaire that will be reviewed by the GP by the end of the next working day. They will either contact you direct, or will ask Reception to contact you to arrange an appointment depending upon the nature of your enquiry. You can find the link to eConsult on the home page of our surgery website. At this time we only offer a small number of telephone consultations with the GP to book online and they do get booked quickly; the reason that we do not offer more online is that our Receptionists are trained to care navigate, this means that when a patient contacts the practice for an appointment they will ask for a brief reason in order to ensure that the patient is booked with the most appropriate clinician. This enables us to not only make sure that patients get a better outcome by seeing the right clinician first time but reduces waiting times to see a GP. If you would like to discuss the concerns you have raised with me I would be more than happy to arrange a mutually convenient time. Please email your contact details to hiowicb-hsi.atherleyhousesurgery@nhs.net and marked for the attention of the Practice Manager. Kind regards, Shaun Austin, Practice Manager

Review titled Caring practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Daniel. C - Posted on 24 March 2023
I have been going to this practice for 15 years. I am so lucky to be with such a great group of doctors! When I go in I always feel like they are concerned and want to help. They always listen and are very considerate. I have multiple long term health problems and am sure I am a burden at times but they never make me feel that way. The receptionists are always happy and helpful. Many a time have they sorted problems for me. Amazing surgery

Atherley House Surgery is a very good Doctor Surgery they for many years are looking after our family and recently when I had some cancer scares I was referred promptly to the Hospital.
