Review titled Very capable and helpful
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Michael Smith - Posted on 05 September 2024
I have been a patient of this practice for very many years. A recent unexpected serious diagnosis was met with immediate referral and treatment in hospital. A follow up appointment today was extremely helpful and reassuring. I find the doctors to be very knowledgeable and can make quick decisions .

Review titled Terrible service and unprofessional
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 August 2024
the amount of my own time and effort I have wasted trying to resolve this practices poor service and incompetence is crazy, from not booking tests to referrals being not being managed correctly and doctors not calling for the scheduled appointments. Its only been 3 months since the first consultation for my daughter, which is still pending a discussion on blood test results and and a referral to be done incorrectly ! I now have to wait another 3 weeks to talk to the doctor for something they should have done months ago........... where does it end with the practice !!!! its so poorly managed its frighting !

Review titled Atrocious
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 July 2024
Absolutely shocking. Luckily not had to use much but had a terrible experience booking postpartum ‘standard’ appointments after having my baby. Took approximately 7 times to book via the online form and speaking to receptionists and at that point they only got booked because I said how stressful it was after they tried to rob me off again. Health Visitor diagnosed mastitis and said I would need antibiotics from the GP. Following day did get a same day appointment, however after rushing out from my newborn to be 19 mins early, it is currently 1 hour after my appointment time and all the update I can get is that they are with the previous patient and no one else can see me.

Review titled Excellent care
Rated 4 stars out of 5

I phoned to get an appointment due to pain in shoulder joints. Got an appointment on the day with a physician associate who was very professional, empathetic and thorough. I had blood tests carried out within days and received appointment with a rheumatologist within 3 weeks. Very impressed.

Impossible to get an appointment. When I asked for complaints procedure I was told to go the website has no clear complaints channel. I requested to see the practice manager and I was told he was busy and would call back ! Sadly still waiting.

Review titled Practice did not provide all NHS services
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 November 2023
Asked for travel vaccines that should be available from all GPs for free via NHS but informed this practice was unable to provide those at all (apparently due to staff not realising this was a service they should provide). Effectively told to pay for private treatment to obtain these travel vaccines as this GP practice was unable to guide me to any other GP that could provide these services. The fact staff were not keeping up to date with NHS services they should offer and then could not effectively assist in how those services could be provided except by directing to a private pharmacy makes me distrustful of the level of NHS service they can provide. I have therefore transferred to a different practice now.

Review titled Very disappointing experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Paulina - Posted on 09 May 2023
We have been with thos practice for just over 2 years and it has been the worst by far. They never have any appointments available. Every time I tried to get a doctors appointment for my sick 3yo child I was refused due lack of availability. They send to a walk in centre instead. It feels like we have no surgery to go to as every time we need to see the doctor there is none available

Dear Pauline, Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm sorry you have been disappointed with the service we offer. If I had your child's full details I could look at our telephone system to audit how the call was ended and listen to the conversation you had or review the website request. If you could provide me with your details I will be able to give you a more personalised response. We regularly review our appointments system to ensure we are as accessible as possible to our patient population in a safe manner. We do not have infinite number of appointments, and therefore requests to see a doctor are triaged. We offer those with urgent needs appointments before those with more routine health complaints as you would probably expect. If we have no appointment at the surgery we will offer to book appointments which have been setup in the local vicinity where you will be able to be seen quicker and get the care needed. This enables us to balance the level of urgent and routine appointments and hence where we book these. Alternatively we will sign post you to NHS111 who are able to book appointments directly into our clinical system and if they felt that an appointment was required they could have booked him in also. We also introduced a form system on our website whereby you can message the practice, ask for an appointment, order medications, find advice and so on. Many patients use this system to avoid waiting in the telephone queue. All messages are reviewed by our triage team and the most appropriate response/ appointment is then offered. The waiting period is also decided as for the same day, next day or routine or as appropriate. We are here to serve our patients and be as accessible as possible and are offering more appointments now than we were pre-Covid. If you would like to contact me via the practice and give me more detail, I would be happy to investigate further. Kind regards Shalini Barnard Practice Manager

I have been going here for many years, and I have never had a bad experience. Everyone from the reception team to the amazing prescription ladies I cannot fault them. Always friendly, professional and efficient. Just a great surgery overall.
