Review titled Good GP if you're actually able to get an appointment
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Chris - Posted on 12 November 2024
The staff are friendly and competent. However, trying to get any sort of appointment via phone is worse than pulling teeth. There used to be a queue system but that's long gone now so you have to sit and keep dialling until you stop getting a busy tone. Even if you start trying to call before the 8am opening time, chances are you're not getting through right away. My record is 84 attempts to call in a single day without successfully speaking to a member of staff to book an appointment. Fortunately I'm not trying to call in for anything hugely urgent, I worry for people who are.

Review titled Great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Debbie Gayle - Posted on 25 March 2024
I have used the centre around 4 times in the last few months. The reception staff were supportive and non judgemental when l called by phone and got really upset. I also observed them with other patients. They were empathetic and helpful and even came out to hug an older gentleman who was crying. They also came out from behind the counter to talk to mums and comment favourably about their babies and children. They displayed a very human touch. When l approached the desk to ask for an appointment l was embarrased about my condition which was work related stress but the receptionist's body language and responses were very supportive. I also had a great service from my GP. He was supportive, listened to me and was so reassuring. He explained about my symptoms and why he was or was not prescribing medicines. I have been able to see the same GP each time and the continuity of care has been really helpful. I am extremely impressed with the level of respect, care and dignity l have received and that which l have observed others receiving too. Too often we hear disparaging and angry complaints about health service customer service particularly doctor receptionists. l was so plesantly surprised that l felt compelled to provide some feedback on bith front of house customer service and medical treatment from my GP. Thank you.

Review titled Struggle to get any type of appointment
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by M Jones - Posted on 13 December 2023
I only needed a telephone consult but they cannot book in advance and you are told to call at 8am but every time I try I cannot get through so it appears the only way I can see them is by getting there at 8am..I explained this to the receptionist. I had strong pain and could not walk due to it. I don't have walking aids. I was alone and couldn't travel but zero exceptions were made for a future telephone consult so that I could get painkillers. I am now using expired ones rather than going without. Very poor system when someone is left in pain with receptionist repeatedly telling them to go to urgent care when they already have a diagnosis and have no means of getting there.

Review titled Great doctor
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 March 2023
In February I went along to the surgery to see a doctor who was new to the practice. During this appointment he showed me compassion and an understanding to my needs. I felt that I was given the opportunity to discuss my concerns and was listened to. I left feeling reassured and happy that I was given the time needed and did not feel rushed in any way. I’ve been back today for an appointment with my husband and feel that he was also given the same treatment and care. I wanted to take this opportunity to praise this doctor personally and say what a great addition he is to the team.

119 calls I've made in 3 hours to get through. You can never get through. It used to put you in a queue but now it just says sorry there on another call then cuts off. Shocking service
