Review titled Amazing Patient Care!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Carol - Posted on 05 April 2024
I honestly cant praise the entire team at Loddon Vale highly enough - I have been a ‘regular’ for the past couple of months with a chronic illness - everyone from Receptionists to Nurses, Hca’s and Drs… I have never been treated so well! The GP I have been seeing is so caring and thorough and I have full confidence in her. She has gone out of her way to arrange numerous urgent blood tests and hospital referrals and kept me informed the entire time. Having previously been a patient at 2 nearby surgeries, as well as working in several, I can honestly say this is The Best medical centre. Thank you to all of you, you’re fab!!

Review titled Blood tests not available at this practice
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Sandy - Posted on 25 June 2024
I am not happy about travelling for blood tests. I am a full time carer for elderly parents, plus have a 7 year old grand daughter living with me. I do not have the time or money to travel to Bracknell or RBH. I can walk to surgery in 10 mins. As a cancer patient my husband is able to have blood tests so there are nurses to do it. I guess refusing to travel will mean my meds wont be prescribed without a test.

Blood tests are avilable at the practice every day, due to very high demand of blood tests we need to ask patients who are able to go to Bracknell or the RBH, this way we can make sure our elderly and cancer patients can have their tests done here at the practice. We do try very our best to fit patients in where we can but there are some days when this is just not possible, I am sure if you explain your circumstances and are flexible the team would do their best to accomodate you.

Review titled Great experience of Loddon Vale
Rated 5 stars out of 5

The practice was brilliant in helping get my son an appointment today at really short notice. At around 4pm we went into the surgery after seeing the pharmacist and being recommended that my son need to see a doctor as had infected fingers. I popped in to get some advice on the quickest way that we could get him an appointment and within minutes the receptionist has managed to get my son an appointment to see a doctor. It was amazing that my son was fit in so quickly and seen to get the antibiotics that he needed. I would also like to thank the doctor who saw him. He was so friendly which straight away made my son relaxed and happy to show him the infected fingers. Thanks for such a great service and for taking the time out of what I am sure was a busy day.

Review titled Excellent care provided
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sophie - Posted on 31 August 2023
I wanted to say thank you so much to the medical practitioner/paramedic who has been treating me. I have been unwell with a chest infection for the whole of August but this medical practitioner took the time to arrange for tests to be undertaken and took me seriously so he could find out what the best antibiotics I needed to treat my infection so it will finally go away. I also was able to get effective pain relief when I was in pain from all the coughing I have been doing. Before this I had to see an emergency Doctor whilst I was away in Bogner Regis and they did not take the time to try and find out what was wrong and instead just gave me any antibiotics which is why my infection didn’t clear up and I had been ill for so long. I feel I have received really great care from Loddon Vale Practice and I’m very grateful.

Review titled Very happy
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by DDH - Posted on 11 June 2023
I phoned the surgery at 8:30 needed appointment for my daughter who had woken up not feeling well. I was concerned as she had a temperature and looked very blotchy most unlike her. I wanted to bring her to the surgery not phone call, very professional receptionist said this was not a problem they would book her in that morning, I explained how worried I was, just over hour later saw great GP he reassured me and was back home. Thank you Loddon Vale.

Review titled Amazing staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lynn Hall - Posted on 30 June 2023
Having gone into the surgery with concerns regarding my 90 year old mum very late in the day the receptionist was incredibly compassionate, kind and really proactive to enable my mum to see a doctor which I feel prevented another possible hospital visit for her. She is really appreciated and a total credit to the practice.

Review titled Poor appointment policy
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Julian - Posted on 04 April 2023
My Wife was told by a midwife that she must see her GP due to suspected mastitis. Wife calls the surgery to be told that she has to call at 8am the next day and that she must be bang on 8am as it is very important for her to get an appointment or she could become very unwell. So, the receptionist admitted it she needed to be seen but refused to book an appointment for the next day and essentially said tough luck if you don't manage to get one. What an absurd policy, even more so when referred by another NHS medical professional. Looks like it could turn into what would be a totally avoidable A&E visit. What an absolute farce.
