  1. Review titled Rude receptionist

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 14 August 2023

    I called in today as the surgery was opening and didnt have to wait long to speak to someone, who was really lovely and said they'd try to get a doctor to call me back before i start work, I didnt recieve a call so before I started i call back i then started work and was met by a rude member of staff who told me I wouldnt get the call and when I asked is there any chance I could, I got told i " Was very impatient for someone who hasnt been given priority " they arranged for me to get a call later but I was so stunned by what was said that I didnt reply with anything

  2. Review titled Waiting Times

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 19 August 2023

    Rarely visit but on two occasions this month to see the nurse she was running more than 30 minutes late. More importantly none of the receptionists kept the packed, airless, waiting room of patients. How can you get yourself so far behind the appointment schedule early in the morning. Beats me!

  3. Review titled Do not recommend

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 05 May 2023

    Complete disregard for pacients requests and time of appointments. I specifically asked for a female doctor and double checked it was possible only to arrive early and then wait for 40 minutes after my scheduled appointment time, to realise that in fact the appointment wasn't even with a female doctor. Do not recommend. This experience has shattered my trust in the medic system even more than i thought it was possible.

  4. Review titled Receptionist and doctors

    by West23 - Posted on 18 February 2023

    This has happened on numerous occasions. You phone a surgery, first you get put on hold for 40 minutes to a hour waiting for your call to be answered by reception. They then tell you that you can’t speak with a doctor, you’ll have to book a phone appointment and wait further for a call back. I believe in 30 seconds the doctor could sort out my issue, instead I’m 50 minutes into being on hold. There is pressure on the NHS but I feel my surgery’s failing to do any sort of a job and help me, you’ll be waiting all day to get help. It’s a shambles.

    I have been going to the Ballard's Surgery for 19 years now and every time the staff (receptionists, nurses and doctors) has always been very helpful and lovely. Thank you for all your hard work especially with limited resources and for being polite and helpful.
