Review titled Efficient
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 October 2024
I’ve seen GP recently over a couple of health issues. I found the use of the NHS app an excellent form of communicating results. Appointments system is easier to manage by going to the surgery. Actual meeting with GP addressed the problem and had X-ray at Gravesend hospital that morning (walk in service). Referral systems are efficient.

Review titled Caring & Efficient Nursing Staff and Receptionists
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Sue Torode - Posted on 18 July 2024
Following a knee replacement on 22nd June, I was referred to my GP Practice for after care. The nurses gave first class care and nothing was too much trouble. The Reception staff are very efficient and pleasant and recently accommodated me when I attended the surgery to find that my appointment had been cancelled by mistake. They asked if the nurse could fit me in and she did. Everything has gone smoothly with my recovery thanks to their care and help. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you all.

Review titled Bad NHS system
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Moric Istvan Domjan - Posted on 19 January 2024
There was no problem with the doctor, the doctor sent me for another test because of the suspected cancer! only one thing was wrong, the doctor didn't tell me to call another health service on the NHS to make an appointment for the next test! ! The problem is with the NHS system! why do I have to call another service when I have a serious health problem, why is it not possible for the GP to refer patients straight away to the next test when an appointment is needed immediately and finally why I couldn't get an urgent appointment when on average £3000-3500 a year National Insurance i pay and have never been sick in the 9 years i have lived in the uk! I would like to know where these amounts are? And by the way, I've been waiting for the urgent appointment since the 14th of December 2023! But you know a day's delay is too much when you're dealing with a serious health issues like my suspected cancer!

Dear Moric Istvan Domjan, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you feel dissatisfied with the service you received at the surgery. I would like to reassure you that the Doctors and staff strive to provide the highest quality healthcare for patients. GP surgeries are a separate entity to any hospitals as hospital have their own booking systems and structure. GP services are the first point of contact for patients with non emergency concerns, they provide primary healthcare and refer to specialist hospital doctors when needed. Once a GP has referred a patient to a specialist, it is the duty of the hospital to then appoint patients after being triaged. Many thanks Assistant Practice Manager

Review titled Superb
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by C Saunders - Posted on 29 December 2023
I can't even express how great they are. They've literally saved my life (I've a lot of problems). My gratitude towards all the individuals working there is immense. Professional, caring, knowledgeable are but just a few things I can say. It's also very handy to have the pharmacy there too, who which I can say refers to the above also. Lovely people through and through.

Review titled Very straightforward experience
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Emma - Posted on 09 October 2023
Just had the most straightforward experience with this practice. Called at 8.30am due to a UTI, call back from the nicest GP at 9.30 and a prescription is ready to be collected. Am so thankful as I know how quickly they can deteriorate

Review titled Impossible to speak with anyone
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Liam - Posted on 06 June 2023
Following an e-consultation (after only 2weeks!), the GP told me to phone the practice and book an appointment with the HCA. When I called at 11.15 I was number 10 in the cue, so opted for a call back (this would keep my place in the cue), after an hour I called from a different number and was number 4 in the cue so decided to wait, after 20 minutes I was answered, I explained I needed to book an appointment with the HCA, to be told I’d have to wait another week (after answering more questions as to why I need an appointment!). I asked to speak with the practice manger, what a surprise they wasn’t answering their phone. This practice needs a total shake up. I dare say this with get the usual copy and paste reply about how sorry they are and to call and speak with someone (if only that were possible).

Dear Liam, Thank you for your feedback. I understand that you have already spoken to the Practice Manager regarding this issue. The best solution would be for you to arrange an appointment to see the Practice Manager in person. Please call into the surgery to arrange this when it is convenient for you. Many thanks Assistant Practice Manager
