Review titled One of the Doctor being unhelpful, disapproval.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 April 2024
I successfully scheduled an appointment for my entire family to receive treatment for scabies, with the receptionist's invaluable assistance. However, before booking the appointment, she kindly advised me to visit the pharmacy for help. Unfortunately, the cost of the prescribed cream was £25 per tube, and as a family of four, the expense was overwhelming given the current cost of living. Upon consulting with the doctor, I expressed my frustration and disappointment at the lack of support from various NHS staff members during this ordeal. Despite my passionate plea, the doctor seemed dismissive and even chastised me for the financial burden the NHS incurs when prescribing such creams. This interaction left me feeling abandoned and distressed, especially with my 9-year-old son witnessing the exchange. After finally receiving the prescription and visiting the pharmacy, the compassionate pharmacist empathized with my situation and offered comfort and support. His kindness contrasted starkly with the treatment I received at the doctor's office, leaving me in tears. I realized that such negative experiences should not be associated with seeking medical assistance, prompting me to switch to a different surgery. It was a reminder of the importance of feeling valued and supported by healthcare professionals during vulnerable moments.

Review titled Outstanding practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Helen Billing - Posted on 17 February 2024
Phoned at 8.05; appointment with GP of my choice at 10.10; home with prescription collected by 11.00. I was listened to, examined, engaged with and my opinion sought. How lucky we are and what a priceless, threatened treasure is the NHS!

Review titled Fantastic Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Yet again Plane Trees have provided a service above my expectation. I feel grateful that I have a surgery where you can make appointments and be seen face to face. Regardless of what medical issue I have they have a service that can assist. It’s a shame that some other practices in Calderdale don’t use Plane Trees as a bench mark for their own service.

Review titled So Efficient and Caring
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by KIMBERLEY - Posted on 20 October 2023
Rang today at 8.05 and used the callback service for the first time as i was 20th inthe queue. I'd received a callback by 8.15am and was offered an appointment within two hours or the last appointment of the day to suit my working hours. The receptionist was really caring and very professional.You really do have a great team and we are lucky to be cared for by this practice.

Receptionist was able to make an appointment in the morning at a different surgery for one medical problem and arranged a telephone consultation in the afternoon. Both issues resolved quickly and with utmost professionalism. Thank you

Review titled Very Disappointed
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Christine McPhail - Posted on 21 March 2023
We have been a member of this practice since 1980. My husband before that since he was born. My husband has been ill since a stroke in 2021. Didn’t affect him at first but I did mention to the Doctor a few years before about his hand shaking. This was brushed aside as everyone suffers from that as they get older. My husband had a knee operation and this caused him to have problems walking so he went to see the physio and he asked how long he’d been having difficulty walking. He was then referred to see a (Doctor) who actually was a pharmacist and not a Doctor and referred to the hospital. We knew there would be a long wait because of covid etc this was in November 2022. Meanwhile because he needs so help I contacted Gateway on his behalf and asked if they could do anything for him. We both were in the meantime thinking that it could be Parkinson’s. The physio from gateway got intouch and came to see him last week and confirmed it looked as if it could be what we thought. They are now visiting him to help his balance and walking. In the meantime we got a letter from the hospital neurology department (this was after we had rung both the surgery and the hospital to see if an appointment was imminent) the letter referred him back to the Doctor as they didn’t want to see him. So again more phone calls to the Doctor who rang no info received from the hospital!! Then yesterday they rang him from the surgery to say that the Doctor would ring him today. The Doctor (pharmacist) rang to say he was being referred to another clinic because he is over 70 and too old for the neurology department to see him. It would appear when you get over 65 they don’t want to help you in anyway. Meanwhile my husband is sat here very upset at being fobbed off. With no medication given to help his condition. I suppose it will be another 4 months before we get any help. Thank you Plain Trees for your help not.
