  2. Review titled Great experience at Balmoral Garden

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 26 July 2024

    For a long time, we have had difficulty with this practice. Being Gillingham patients, we were asked to attend appointments at Lordswood, which is a long way, especially for my elderly parents who are over 90. However, recently I was booked at my local branch at Balmoral Garden Healthy Living at my request (because my dad has seen a GP there and couldn’t praise them enough). I am so pleased you now have a doctor at our branch who is so kind and attentive. She is a blessing for my elderly parents who cannot travel and love to see her for their ailments. I saw her myself for the first time recently. From the receptionist to the GP, it was a great experience. I feel my issues were resolved very promptly, and I feel better.

  3. Review titled Great nurse

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 16 July 2024

    The nurse I saw for my diabetes review was very thorough. She made me at ease , answered all my questions, took the time to check my records. The second time I saw her for a vaccine, having recognised me she inquired about one of my medical problems and again took the time to advise and reassure me. A very pleasant and caring nurse.

    Very impressive, clinician was very competent and explained things in detail. Felt as though I was treated as a person not just another number.

  6. Review titled No Help Whatsoever

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Peter - Posted on 20 June 2024

    Called for an appointment - explained it was urgent. Was told appointments were closed and to fill in an online form or contact 111. I registered to fill in the online form and then got a message that they had reached capacity and could not accept any more online requests. I then filled in the 111 online form which resulted in being told to contact my GP surgery. I'm now completely lost as to what to do. My symptoms will not improve without help and I cannot get help or advice.

    Dear Peter, We are sorry to hear your of your recent experience. When we reach capacity we need to close Anima so we can safely manage the requests that have already come in. If Anima is closed and you need to call the practice we can complete an Anima on your behalf or we can signpost you to the most appropriate service if we have reached clinical capacity. Please do contact us either by phone or in writing if you wish to discuss this further. Many thanks, Reach Healthcare

    Dear patient, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for the practice. We are sorry to hear you couldn't access Anima online. Please do call the practice so one of our reception team can complete an Anima on your behalf. We appreciate that in the past there were lengthy waits for calls to be answered but since changing our phone systems and processes we are pleased to say this is no longer the case and our average overall call waiting times are 5-7 minutes. We are continuously reviewing processes to improve patient experience. We hope this information helps. Many thanks, Reach Healthcare
