Review titled Impossible to get an appointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Alix - Posted on 12 March 2025
Yet again left with the disappointment of having to speak to 111 and then head to an urgent care centre to wait to see a doctor as it’s impossible to get an appointment at the surgery. Unfortunately this is the 3rd time I’ve tried to get an appointment in 6 months and everytime I’ve had to default to 111 and spend the best part of a day in a waiting room.

Review titled Private referral letter requested >2 weeks ago
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 March 2025
Phoned surgery 2 weeks ago to ask for a referral letter to see a private practioner. Was told to apply online and that an appointment may be required, did so. Nothing heard after week one so followed up with a phone call. Was told it will be chased up with the doctor. 2 weeks now passed and still nothing heard. In the past, have never waited longer than 3 days. Something has changed.

Review titled Great GP Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Deborah Meek - Posted on 18 January 2025
So many negative comments/reviews on GP surgeries in general. I cannot find fault with Park Lane. Yes, I may have to go on-line to request an appointment but I have always had someone call me to arrange for me to see a Doctor. The receptionists are all friendly and very approachable. I have also had the pleasure recently of being seen by a Nurse who was so kind, explaining everything to me, not rushing, and making me feel a valued patient. From the office side, I had a call querying a new prescription request. The lady was so polite and kind. I explained that ideally I did need the prescription to take on holiday with me - in 2 days time. She said she would do her very best to get this sorted within the short time scale but could not promise bearing in mind it was a Friday afternoon. On the Saturday morning I went to my local Chemist, with my fingers crossed!, and there was my prescription ready for me to collect in time to take away on my holiday the next day. Thank you!

Dear Mrs Meek Thank you for your review. I agree that there are so many negative comments/reviews in GP surgeries in general, so it was lovely to receive your positive review. The staff at Park Lane Surgery work extremely hard to meet patients’ needs and although it is not always possible to meet the demand for appointments, the staff ensure that they deliver the highest standard of care possible, which includes ensuring patient’s receive their medication when they need it. With kindest regards Helen Conaghan Practice Manager

Review titled Good GP Surgery
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Emily Michaelides - Posted on 07 February 2025
I had to lean heavily on my GP surgery in December 2024 after a fall. I was quite badly injured and it is thanks to Park Lane Surgery that I got the help I needed (X-ray, blood tests, medication). Staff were helpful and the doctors were great. Yes there can be issues getting appointments and suchlike, but isn’t it the same everywhere? The surgery is a vital part of our community, I certainly value and appreciate it.

Dear Ms Michaelides Thank you for your review. I am so glad that you are happy with the service at Park Lane Surgery. I agree that at times it can be difficult obtaining an appointment; however, this is a national problem as the patient demand for appointments out numbers the number of appointments that we are able to safely provide. I appreciate that you value and appreciate the surgery. With kindest regards Helen Conaghan Practice Manager

Review titled Poor Service unhelpful reception staff
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 January 2025
Having been a patient there for a number of years when the service was excellent Over the last couple of years, it's been very difficult to and on various times impossible to get through to make an appointment, when you your met by unfriendly and unhelpful reception staff, having tried in the last couple of days to make an appointment I was met with the usual excuse all the appointments had gone for the day, I asked if I could could get the one the following day or next day, but was told I had call in when the lines opened at 8am,which as we know is virtually impossible to get through, I was told I could use your online service to book an appointment but myself like many others don't have a computer and I don't want one, I was told most people use the online service now which is taking the telephone appointments ones virtually impossible I got the usual answer from the reception staff that your very busy all the time, well whenever I have been able to get appointment or a blood test the waiting room is nearly empty. Shame it used to be a good doctors practise but not anymore I'm afraid, and to be perfectly honest cant see it getting any better

Dear Patient Can I please check that your review was for Park Lane Surgery in Broxbourne? We operate a triage system and the reception staff complete the Consult Form for any patients that do not have access to computers. This system enables appointments to be made for non-urgent medical issues. If you do require urgent medical care and if our appointments have been booked up for the day, you would be signposted to another healthcare professional. At Park Lane Surgery our priority is ensuring that patients receive the medical care needed, weather at the surgery or elsewhere. Best wishes, Helen Conaghan Practice Manager

Review titled 50+ years without ever a complaint
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Elizabeth Brown - Posted on 16 October 2023
My husband and I signed onto the practice over 50 years ago and have been delighted with the medical treatment and help we have received throughout that time which has been excellent. My husband died recently, but he had received regular monthly visits and the best of care from the doctor. which was a great help to him and to me! I am so grateful to the Practice Manager, office staff, nurses and all the doctors too, for all the help they have given. I would not hesitate to award 5 stars to this practice.
