Review titled Just alright
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 April 2023
I've had a couple of interactions with the practice since I moved in the area last year. Let's just say it's not nearly up to the level of my previous GP. But it's okay. It's a small practice in a small village. Receptionists are 50/50, some are really nice, others are meh. I've met one doctor so far, and she was super nice and helpful. And I've had a blood test, which went alright. Not really convenient that they never answer the phone, so if you want to book something (since the online service is meh) you have to go there in person. It's also not open during weekends, which really forces you to take a day off to sort anything out. This is the reason I'm put off most of the times from even contacting this practice, and opting for a private GP, which is 24/7, which gets you an appointment in a couple of hours, and which many employers offer for free thankfully. (I also do have a couple of health matters which need to be monitored, but it seems like it's up to me to make sure I keep track and book blood tests etc.) In conclusion, I understand that this practice works slower, less hours, and is not very proactive. It's small, in a small place, probably surrounded by many retired people with plenty of time.

Review titled Disappointing
Rated 1 star out of 5

I have been with this practice since I moved to the area in 2021. They haven’t even seen me face-to-face once, despite the fact I have a pre existing condition! I would have expected them to want to monitor the condition. The receptionists aren’t friendly or compassionate, they make you feel like a burden. During and after a miscarriage, I found the doctor very condescending. I had a skin cancer scare and called 200 times without any response (ended up paying to go private). I am have had to call for vaccines. My calls haven’t been connected on any occasion despite calling over 30 times. I am considering trying to find a surgery that actually answers my calls as I work full time and don’t have hours to try and get an appointment with the doctor!
