  1. Review titled Thank you

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 08 December 2024

    I have had, as always a great service from the surgery. Last week I was given a same day appointment, the next day I called the surgery and the duty doctor responded quickly. Everyone I spoke to was very kind and reassuring, thank you for such great care.

  2. Review titled Getting face to face appointments

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by Samantha Feltham - Posted on 13 August 2024

    I had an appointment today at 1.15 which I had made 2 weeks ago online. I was exactly 5 mins late unfortunately. I had called the surgery at 1.10 to say I would be late but as it was during the reception staffs lunch break there was only the out of hours service available. I apologised and tried to say I was going to be 5 minutes late but it wasn’t acknowledged. On arriving at the surgery I couldn’t check in as I was late. It says see reception but there was a sign saying they were closed. I waited but there was no one at all to speak to. There was one other person in the surgery waiting room who was seeing the dr i was due to see. The dr was running late. I waited for half an hour but no one appeared who I could speak to ask anything. The patient before me did not reappear during that time. The receptionists were in their office on their lunch. Would it not be sensible to stagger lunch breaks so that the reception is still manned as obviously there was a dr still working? It’s near on impossible to get a drs appointment and no online consultations available. The dr was running late so surely being 5 mins late would have been fine?

  3. Review titled So Impressive!

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Samantha Ashford - Posted on 17 July 2024

    Recently I submitted an Econsult regarding an issue that had been troubling me for a while and within a few hours I received a call from one of the team inviting me down to the surgery for an examination within the hour! I felt so looked after and was so impressed with the prompt and kind service I received. Many thanks, it was so appreciated.

  4. Review titled No appointment availability

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 30 June 2024

    I tried to book a non urgent GP appointment 7 times over 3 days. Each time I phoned, I was informed all appointments for 2 weeks time were booked. I phoned at 8am and was 16th in line! I then tried at various other times. I asked receptionists the best time to call for an appointment and was told they were not allowed to say. Getting a GP appointment isn't easy with this surgery. It's 'frustrating' and 'stressful'. It's not good enough.

  5. Review titled Excellent urgent service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Emma - Posted on 15 December 2023

    Fantastic service this morning for an urgent issue. I was seen extremely quickly by a very kind urgent care who assessed and prescribed some medication for me. I was able to collect this from my preferred surgery and start the medication quickly. Thank you

  7. Review titled Always there when I need them

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Angela H - Posted on 02 August 2023

    I have been registered here since moving to the village 7 years ago. I have always experienced fantastic service. I've had to have multiple visits this year for a reoccurring ear infection, I've had emergency appointments as I have needed them and every member of staff from the reception team to medical have taken the time to listen my concerns and have arranged support accordingly. They are a great team, thank you to them all.

  8. Review titled My previous review was taken seriously

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Susan Musselwhite - Posted on 12 April 2023

    Following my previous negative review, I was given a cancellation appointment this afternoon. The doctor was extremely thorough and didn’t rush me at all. I was able to discuss the problems concerning me mentioned in my previous review and a very acceptable outcome was achieved. Thank you.

  9. Review titled Unable to get an appointment

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Susan Musselwhite - Posted on 06 April 2023

    I’ve been with this practice since it opened and only recently since passing 70, have a needed to use its services more frequently. I really need advise re medication and a chronic neck pain, but cannot get to speak to a doctor. My prescription was sent via text so I was unable to ask specific questions. I’ve been told by the receptionist to use e-consult or go on line at 1 pm daily to book my own appointment, which are all gone. It seems if you’re over 70 you don’t matter anymore. It seems now that I’ll have to go on holiday still concerned about my medication. I certainly wouldn’t recommend this surgery.

  10. Review titled I’m just not important!

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 27 February 2023

    I hate to say but I just don’t feel the surgery cares about me or whether I receive the appropriate treatment. I’ve tried using the correct process (eConsult) to get medical advice twice but both times I’ve had encountered a total failure by the system. It’s very upsetting when you wait weeks for help but it never comes. EConsult seems to be the way to communicate with my GP & when I expect a telephone call to discuss the problem I discover this isn’t what happens but the GP uses this time to review the request. Whatever happened to speaking to the patient?? I’ve reached a point of total no confidence which will probably mean I will have to try another surgery despite having been at this surgery for 35 years. I completely understand the pressure on the service but I can’t continue like this.
