Review titled Short Notice Appointment
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Neil Liddicott - Posted on 02 December 2024
I raised a request online at 8am, was called at 8:50am with an emergency appointment for 9:20am and had antibiotics from the pharmacy by 10am. I was absolutely amazed. Normally I call and wait in a queue for hours and can’t get an appointment. This new system works brilliantly.

Review titled Astounded
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jacqueline - Posted on 15 August 2024
Swap surgeries after an unpleasant experience elsewhere. I was able to book online , prompt appointment, a kind Dr who listened and a physio appointment in 2 weeks. I'm shocked and relieved to have found a surgery that's so good.

My experience this morning was very helpful. The doctor was attentive, understanding and made time to fully explore my concerns and even reassure me that my bigger worries were unfounded. Thank you

Review titled Good
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Georgie - Posted on 20 March 2024
My son has had excellent care at this practice. We’ve seen many doctors in the first year of his life and they’ve all been very thorough and helpful. The call back service is also great for if you don’t have time to wait in a queue to book an appointment!

Review titled Exceptional Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

My recent visit to the surgery left me feeling reassured and armed with information about my condition and how to manage it. The practitioner listened and addressed my concerns with empathy and direction. All members of the staff have been nothing but helpful to me dealing with queries I raise and creating solutions to my questions. Thank you for your care.

Review titled Fantastic service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Carol&Alan - Posted on 16 October 2023
My wife has had a few problems in the last ten months.when ever I have been in the surgery to speak to the receptionists about her they are very helpful & polite. When they say a doctor is phoning back within so many hours they always do. She has been under doctor whatson again what fantastic doctor. When we speak to various relatives and say how lucky we are to be with your surgery.because all they do is fine faults. Thank you.

Review titled Awful
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 June 2023
Have a regular doctor ive been seeing for months over on going health problems. Surgery is so busy there have been no appointments to see my regular at all for months. Keep getting pushed onto other doctors who have no idea what they’re saying or listen to my needs. If you are in distress the reception staff will brush you off and not help and the doctors are no better. Seems as though even if you are desperate for help they are not bothered. You’re made to feel like an inconvenience. Better luck calling 111.
