Review titled Post op care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by ARUN - Posted on 07 August 2023
The first time in 50 years I had to get help from a GP and the service I got from Black Water Medical centre was excellent. I was able to use the call back system to get an appointment and referral to specialist and all the investigations were done promptly. I was lucky enough to use private insurance for the procedure and after care from the surgery was second to none, with answers obtained on the same day following econsult. Ability to book online appointment with a clinician of one's choice is a step forward. Great overall service.

Review titled Much better access to services
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Jennifer Hollis - Posted on 07 July 2023
I would like to say that services for me have improved so much. As most reviews there are a lot of negative ones. I always make my feelings known if I am unhappy and always text the practice manager and my problems were resolved. I have have many instances of good and improved practices recently. I have been able to access an appointment and been surprised that there was an appointment available. I like the reduced info when you first ring to get speak to a receptionist. I like the call back option and the advice to keep dailing. My interaction with the pharmacists are a bit hit and miss, sometimes I get really good helpful advice but sometimes I leave after a fruitless conversation and it makes me very upset. Sometimes they are sometimes so kind and other times seem to be obstructive, But perhaps there are operational reasons for the difficult outcome. All in all I am glad To say the service has improved and for my part I am always treated well when dealing with the receptionists. Just one more thing I am not the easiest person to deal with sometimes and I am aware of that. Being a receptionist must be a thankless task sometimes.
