Review titled Fantastic Practice!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 December 2024
I visited today for a long time underlying issue which I was constantly shut down for at my previous surgery. All staff were nothing short of amazing. I had absolutely no issues booking my appointment and the doctor I saw was wonderful. Very thorough in understanding my issue and listening to every word I said. I now finally have a way to forward for treatment. 10/10 recommend Red Lion Surgery!

Review titled Poor practice
Rated 1 star out of 5

This practice use to be the perfect little practice when the two other doctors (who i am not allowed to mention on here for some reason) ran the place however it has massively gone down hill. A new and stupid automated system is supposed to be more efficient however all it tells you what number you are in the queue… i rang at 8oclock i was caller number 10 and at 8:14 when i got through they have no appointments left for the day. Absolutely ridiculous you’re telling me only 9 people can see the doctor. Should be ashamed of yourselves no wonder everyone goes to a&e even when it’s not an emergency not even worth the building they pay the rent in. Awful practice.

Review titled Consistent great service with compassion
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 August 2024
Today I had a condition which in the order of things could be described as relatively minor. However, it was very painful and was affecting daily life. I rang the surgery and was given excellent service, compassionate and kind and they quickly help to resolve this issue. Thank you for today. However, over the years I have found them to be professional, considerate, and above all kind and sympathetic. I am very, very glad to be a patient here.

Review titled Outdated
Rated 2 stars out of 5

Turned up for my daughters appointment to be told that the doctor hadn’t turned up and they was having to cancel all appointments. Always find it hard to get an appointment and the phones could do with a queue system so you know how long you will be waiting on the phone.

Thank you or your comment. We apologise for the inconvenience this caused. The surgery had arranged additional GP cover to ensure that we were able to meet patient demand ahead of the bank holiday weekend. It was completely out of our control and very disappointing that the GP who had agreed to cover the afternoon for us failed to turn up on time and then contacted us when patients were already waiting to advise he would not be coming at all. Something that we consider very unprofessional. The GP partner who was also working that afternoon saw as many of the waiting patients as possible in addition to those already booked in her clinic. Those remaining were all offered the next available appointment. This is certainly not representative of the service we wish to offer and something that has never happened before. We are acutely aware of the difficulties that the current telephone system causes. When relocating into the hospital premises some years ago the surgery was allocated a line through the hospital switchboard - this has not been fit for purpose for some time. We are pleased to say that we have at last been given the go ahead to install a new surgery telephone system. Work is currently in progress with the system supplier and we are hoping to have an installation date confirmed within the next few weeks.
