I was surprised to get an appointment for this evening on calling this morning. The doctor was very amiable and listened very intently.

Review titled Reassurance galore

Under extreme pressure from wife and sons I sought advice regarding a facial growth. I was treated with great courtesy and proper care and left stepping lighter. Thank you.

Review titled Good doctors, just overstretched
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 14 December 2023
All the doctors I have seen here have been helpful and doing the best they can. They have been overstretched as everyone knows, however, they have taken the time to give me the best advice and refer me to other services. They do need more reception staff though, they have been friendly too most times.

Review titled Can't make an appointment
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Sharon Sugar - Posted on 29 November 2023
I understand how difficult the reception job is. I tried calling @ 8.01 all appointments were gone. A suggestion why such a long answer phone pre message before u can press an option. ?? This is not a complaint I feel for the staff but does not help me. Any suggestions? Or a call would be great. Kind Regards Sharon Sugar

Review titled Poor practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mrs Kori - Posted on 30 November 2023
I am really annoyed by the practice poor booking system via econsult. I have tried on several occasions to book. I leave all the work sit infront of the computer at 7:45 and keep trying to book. Till 7:59 the message says you can book at 8:00. Once it ticks 8:00 the message automatically says ‘you can book the next day at 8:00’. It is unbelievable. How can it be filled in no time? Trust me it is not my first experience. Every time it is the same. Unfortunately I have shelled out lot of money on private gps now. I would appreciate if the manager can come back to me with the number patients that they are seeing on daily basis booked through econsult. I am sure they should be able to do it as I have the right to know it, as long as I am not asking for personal details. Even if I try calling practice sharp at 8 am for morning apps and at 2 pm for pm apps - no appointment will be available. It’s shocking but I have never managed to see a GP from this practice till now. I would never ever recommend this practice as one will never see a gp once registered. They will have to call 111/ 999 and not gp for whatever problems they have.

The phone lines switch over at 8am when we open so trying to access the service prior to that time will not add you to the queue first.

Review titled Excellent service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 October 2023
I accidentally ran out of meds. I was expecting the prescriptions clerk to say it was my own silly fault and that she couldn’t help. Instead she couldn’t have been more sympathetic and helpful. She issued a strip to tide me over and also made sure that that strip would not be subtracted from my next renewal. This practice obviously has an ethos of being as helpful as possible. And I’ve noticed this in the medical staff as well. You’re doing a great job, thanks and keep it up.

Review titled Urgent not urgent
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 October 2023
Was sent an urgent message from surgery at 7, which caused immediate alarm. When opened it was only to tell me my appointment was cancelled. This was clearly not a message requiring my immediate attention, particularly since the surgery doesn't open until 8. I was asked to call rearrange, since the cancellation was not caused by me, the onus is on the surgery to call me. Zero complaint about the GP when seen. These reviews should allow separate commentary regarding the medical & admin staff because the care of patients needs do not always match.

Review titled Good admin staff and prompt appointments
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by ANDREW MALONE - Posted on 11 October 2023
I had a same day appointment could not make the morning. What was an offered a late night appointment which suited me perfectly. The admin staff took my medical history from moving over to the United Kingdom from Ireland and insured that I was able to get all of my medical history sorted
