Review titled Caring and thorough GPs, nurses and staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Roy - Posted on 04 April 2025
I want to express my deep appreciation for the care I’ve received from Dr. today 4/4/25 and the wider team. After years of unexplained symptoms and confusion, Dr.'s thoroughness, compassion, and determination have finally put me on the path toward understanding what’s wrong—and how to treat it. Thanks to her care, holistic view and organising and ordering the right tests and taking my symptoms seriously, we will able to start dealing w my dioxin poisoning. Thanks to Putneymead and the Dr today, I feel like I’m moving in the right direction. It’s been a long, difficult road, but her care has made all the difference and I'm hopeful for the future. I’ve also had support from nurses and staff who have treated me with kindness and professionalism at every step. The consistency and quality of care I’ve experienced here has been a true lifeline. Thank you all for listening, caring, and helping me find answers.

Review titled Very unprofessional
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 April 2025
Never seen such an unprofessional practice. supervisor is either belittling the receptionists and talking to them in a disrespectful manner, many times raising her voice sounding like an angry chicken (i am a witness along with other clients waiting on the queue) or her manager -new manager who I haven't met before is walking around snooping on everyone and making the staff uncomfortable like a walking CCTV camera . Be professional is my advice, about the care i dont enjoy waiting almost an hr after my appointment due time as I take time off work for this which I later need to work extra for

Review titled Disappointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Ivelin Ivanov - Posted on 26 March 2025
After my appointment was canceled 3 times last month... today 03/26/25 they disappointed me again... I waited 1 hour after the appointment and no one paid attention to me or to see a doctor... 20 minutes after I left, I was called by the doctor on the phone asking me to come back... I came back and was subjected to the same mockery of waiting... After 20 minutes of waiting, no one paid attention to me again

Review titled A seamless and excellent service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 March 2025
After having a fall, I was initially advised to go to A and E but on further investigation the surgery suggested I come in. I was seen extremely promptly - and everybody along the way from receptionists to the nurse practitioner I saw, were highly efficient and pleasant. This is by no means the first time I have experienced outstanding service from Putneymead.

Review titled So unfriendly
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 January 2025
Called in to ask the receptionist a question on Sat morning. She simply didn't want to know, no greeting, no smile, just sucked her teeth at me and made me feel like a nuisance. It took a great deal of strength to go in and ask a question but she was so rude, unfriendly and unpleasant that I left in tears. This practice should employ people who actually want to work, are kind to people who are vulnerable and unwell. This woman was horrible - and she's the first point of contact. I can't recommend this surgery, they are just unkind and unprofessional.

Review titled Fantastic, timely care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 January 2025
I just wanted to say a personal thank you to all of those that have been involved in my care recently. I contacted the surgery on Monday with acute severe shoulder pain. The same day, I received a call from an empathetic duty doctor who prescribed analgesia and booked me an appointment next day. I saw an in-person GP on Tuesday who addressed my concerns fantastically well and was incredibly understanding, she and the physiotherapist managed to squeeze in an appointment and gave me reassurance and a management plan that day. I am all too aware of the pressures that face the NHS and cannot fault them for their care and accessibility. I am already feeling much better.

Review titled Incredibly rude reception staff
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 January 2025
I visited the gp this morning to ask for an emergency prescription request. I had made a genuine mistake when ordering and was feeling really panicked. The receptionist was incredibly rude, tutting at me and rolling her eyes. Before me was an elderly patient. They also treated him with incredible disrespect, rolling their eyes, being patronising and laughing together. All she did in response to my question was give me a blank, rude answer ‘not possible’. I had to walk away as it made me so upset. I won’t be talking to these receptionists again, it has made me want to leave the gp in case I ever have to face a difficult situation like this again. Incredibly rude, disrespectful and totally unwarranted.

We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience at our practice and sincerely apologise for the upset this caused.

Please rest assured that we have spoken with all staff who were on duty that morning to address this matter and reinforce the importance of treating all patients with kindness, respect, and compassion. We hope that the issue with your prescription has since been resolved. However, as this complaint was submitted anonymously, we are unable to investigate it further.

Review titled confusing website
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by A. Fernandez - Posted on 22 January 2025
I was expecting a call from the practice between 3:50-5:50p. By 7PM I had not received the call nor had a "missed call" appeared on my phone. I was at home all day. When I booked this call (not an emergency just info on a certain brand of Malaria tablets), it was easy to find the place to leave a message. This time it was impossible. I didn't want to use the "review" section, but I found no other way to send a message. Also, on your multiply choice questions, it would have been helpful for a "n/a" option. I felt uncomfortable using the "neither satisfied nor dissatisfied" option which seems unnecessarily critical. I am very happy with the practice in general. It's the website that is frustrating.

My appointment was at 8am , it’s a stormy morning, rainy and wet , receptionist is sitting at the reception area , there is a sign that clearly says ring clinic bell if door is close , I did , she totally blank that one and to make matters worse there was an elderly lady standby outside n the cold , when she did open the door , she totally disregarded anyone entering the practice and held her head down into the computer. Not good practice. Just my opinion

Review titled Horrible experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 January 2025
Gp and nhs system need to improve asap. I mean please governors just wake up, after brexit millions of workers left the country, and I can promise you that other millions will leave if we do start to change behaviour when it comes to our health. I have been chasing since october putneymed gp explaining them that I have pain in my bladder and sense of urgent pee, no one cared, they only ask me to do urine tests which were negative, and send me home, like are we for real? no further investigation? I then went to Chelsea and Westminster hospital (please avoid this hospital). I was suffering, as everyday of my life since october 2024, and they again only need urine test, which guess what? they lost the results. It is unbelievable. I am in shock and I need help but no one is providing me with help
