Review titled Brilliant service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lani Swart - Posted on 13 February 2025
I want to thank the Forest Practice for their service. I have been at the service for a number of months, having relocated from Woodford. I cannot fault their service: the ladies at reception are patient, listen, helpful and kind. The gps (I have seen a few different ones with different family members) are kind, thorough, efficient and respectful. The pharmacist has been very helpful in speaking to me about minor illness and medication and onward referrals have been dealt with speedily. Thank you so very much!

Review titled Brilliant staff!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Turner Family - Posted on 08 January 2025
Forest Surgery have been looking after this family for many years now and have dealt with medical and social complications sensitively and professionally. The practice is very busy - but they have always been able to provide an appointment or referral when needed. The Asthma/Diabetic specialist nurse is brilliant - she really gets to know her patients and provides a caring and individualised service. Most recently she has ensured that members of the family have had proper check ups and are offered the correct care plans. This was following a tragic family death - after which she phoned to offer condolences and check in on everyone. People love to moan about the NHS, but this surgery has, on this occasion and in general provided exceptional service because all the staff - receptionists, nurses and doctors - really care. Thank you

Review titled Excellent practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Abida Aslam - Posted on 13 July 2024
I have been a patient here for several years now and have always found the doctors, nursing staff and receptionists to be helpful and polite. I have never felt rushed in appointments and have had my health concerns listened to with care attention at every appointment. Special mention for the diabetic nurse who has been very good at encouraging me to get the right care for my condition. Even though I have often not been compliant she has always had me on her radar with regular phone calls and text messages to remind me to take action on my care plan. I am now following her advice and taking more care of my health. Just wanted to say a big thank you to her support over the last few years - even though I was definitely not the easiest of patients. The doctors have also been helpful over the years. And a final word for the reception staff. They do a difficult job under stressful conditions but still manage to be very polite and helpful. Many thanks to all at this surgery.

Review titled Am so
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Andrew File - Posted on 13 June 2024
I have been a patient of the Forest Practice for 30 + years and have always received the highest level of care. On Monday, I submitted an online request for an appointment, and saw the GP I requested just two days later. I discussed a number of different matters with the doctor - he was supportive and helpful, was very happy to deal with all of my queries and arranged tests and a care plan to sort me out! Am very grateful.

Review titled Cannot get through on the phone
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 February 2024
Have been trying to contact the surgery for days to try and get the results of my recent hospital scan. I am stuck in the recorded announcement loop and supposedly number 1 in the queue but 20 minutes of holding on, I am getting the same repeated message … you are number 1 in the queue and so it goes on and on …

Review titled Very poor!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 October 2023
They never answer their telephones, it is always busy. There is always an issue with prescriptions because someone is not doing their job. I have been backward and forward to pick up my prescription from the chemist but it is never there because the surgery neglected to send through the script. When the staff are not on strike, they are either too busy or unwilling apparently to help. If there were any other surgery nearby, I would transfer.
