Review titled Would not recommend
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 October 2024
Some of the staff are nice and make you feel like a human but some of the doctors I have seen are rude. I had a mole removed 3 months after having a baby and had to come back and get the wound looked at as it was infected and was told I should of come sooner(which I agree) and the doctor said that I was most likely exaggerating the new mole to get it removed as she looked at my notes and saw no concerns to refer me. I was shocked at her response as two weeks later I was told was melanoma. Another time doctors told me to keep feeding my child the same milk which was making her poorly and just give less ounces turns out she has a milk intolerance but took them 6 weeks to think about changing it! And I understand you have to give newborns chance to adjust and what not but this particular doctor was rude in how she came across and made me feel like what I was doing was not up to her textbook standards! And I did complain to the practice to never see her in regards to my children or myself. On a few occasions I've had to ring as the online form has been closed before the time it says it has to get my children checked over for their breathing and have been told there's no appointments. There's more but I'm to stressed to even type it out. I wouldn't recommend this place !

Review titled Great doctor great practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sheila maxted - Posted on 27 June 2024
I was recently diagnosed with anaemia and had an appointment with dr smith who explained that I had to go to an and e to have a transfusion and iron . She explained everything and gave me a letter to take for urgent attention. Since then I have spoken to dr smith and she has reassured me every step of the way about my condition. I owe it to her that I feel so well and feeling confident that if I had a problem she would be there to reassure me. Thank you.

I attended an appointment with the above person thinking I was seeing a doctor - he was kind, understanding, carefully listening and throughly explained the outcome of his actions and intentions for my treatment. Sent through a text with further information for me to access. Along with a few laughs, That made me feel at ease with my concerns. I did not feel rushed in my appointment. So thank you for your patience and professionalism.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sure you are aware that unfortunately the whole of the NHS is under increased pressures and are experiencing a large number of challenges within the whole of the NHS and at the practice. NHS England has commissioned locally provided services to support the practice in seeing patients within the community setting for certain medical problems. The Minor Eye Scheme we believe you are referring too is an excellent service available to see patients with eye conditions that are able to report and refer you back to the practice if this is appropriate. However, we at the Practice take on board your concerns and will endeavour to make responsive changes following the ongoing developments within the NHS to ensure the maximum safety of our patients, and to protect our staff as much as possible to ensure that the NHS can keep working in an effective manner and can continue to provide the best level of care possible. Unfortunately, as this is an anonymous review, we are unable to access your medical records to assess the appropriateness of the request and advice given. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact the practice manager to discuss this further.

Review titled Mixed Experiences
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 29 June 2023
I have had a few mixed experiences with this practice. The doctors are lovely, get an appointment to see the right one and they are amazing, however, getting a face-to-face appointment is impossible. I requested a face-to-face appointment with a specific doctor in the middle of April and got a telephone appointment (as I was told they had no face-to-face appointments left) waited till May for my phone call, 1 week before receptionist rang and told me the doctor I wanted to speak to was available 'this afternoon' if i wanted to move my appointment forward, so i did. Only to be rang by a different doctor, who agreed on the phone that I needed to speak to the one i'd requested. This meant anothet booking of another telephone appointment (because they still had no face-to-face appointments) and another 4 week wait till June when my requested doctor rang me, only for them to say I needed to see you face-to-face. Luckily, they were available at that time and I was, to be able to go straight in and see them. The main issue at the moment (other than no face-to-face appointments) is the mere wait after booking an appointment, it is too long. We've waited 4 weeks for my daughters blood test, for me to cancel it as it turns out she is now on a school trip, to be told, they have no availability for booking another appointment.

Thank you for your feedback. We are currently working hard to review and amend our appointment system to enable patients to have a wider range of appointments, in the hope to improve access. Unfortunately the whole of the NHS is under increased pressures, and we are experiencing a large number of challenges at the practice and the work load of all the staff has increased dramatically. However, we at the Practice are continuing to make a number of responsive changes following the ongoing developments to ensure the maximum safety of our patients, and to protect our staff as much as possible to ensure that the NHS can keep working in an effective manner and can continue to provide the best level of care possible. If you would like to discuss this further please contact the practice manager to discuss this further.
