Review titled Getting there
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 March 2025
The GP I saw today is a very understanding and skilled doctor as well as many of the other GPs who have work here. The reception staff have also shown significant improvement. All in all it feels like this surgery is doing its best to shake off the reputation it gained during the catastrophic Bolton GP Federation days. Maybe one day it will be as good as it was when the original male doctor was running it. Today I have again seen the progress being made

Review titled Rude nurse
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 March 2025
The nurse was doing my baby’s 8week immunisations and she was very heavy handed when dealing with my baby. She was rude and told me to move the chair to where she wanted it and when it wasn’t right she told me to move so she could do it herself. After the injections she told my husband to take the baby and go so she could go on to do my check where she continued to be quite abrupt. Do not want her to touch me baby again.

Review titled Fantastic Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by David - Posted on 20 February 2025
I'm quite new to the surgery but from the point of registering I have had nothing but positive things to say about the staff. The Paramedic is excellent. She took the time to listen to me and check me over. The reception staff are helpful, seem to genuinely care and nothing is too much trouble. I'm glad I changed to this surgery. Thank You!

Review titled Very Good GP surgery
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ben Q. - Posted on 06 February 2025
To: The Manager I would like to give this feedback about the excellent experience we (my family and I) had at Shanti Medical Centre and especially how one of your staff [M] at the reception looked after us when we came in to register with the practise as well as subsequent attendance. She was exceptionally patient and very helpful in answering all our questions, providing us with relevant information, thoroughly checking our form to ensure we hadn’t missed anything. Her competence and sheer professionalism was second to none and I would like to commend her for that. We were really pleased with Shanti Medical and the staff, keep it up!. So thank you for the great service you provide for the community and wonderful team you have at Shanti Medical Centre! And thanks once again! God bless you. Best wishes, Ben

Review titled Excellent Services
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Oluyen Francis ojugbele - Posted on 20 November 2024
I recently visited Shanti Medical and was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional care and service I received. The staff were friendly, professional, and made me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. The facilities were modern, clean, and well-maintained, and the doctors were knowledgeable and compassionate. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explained my treatment options clearly, and provided personalized attention. I highly recommend Shanti Medical to anyone seeking top-notch medical care. Their commitment to patient satisfaction and well-being is truly exceptional

Review titled One of the best practices
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Amar Manzoor - Posted on 08 November 2024
I am currently struggling with my mental health and Amnesia. I contacted the GP surgery very confused and upset, I was met with reception staff, who unfortunately had to explain things multiple times to help me to understand doctors policies and the best way forward, as I was adamant I wanted to see a doctor and not an allied health professional. Reception staff went above and beyond to support me and booked a psame day appointment where my issue was resolved to a very high standard. As far as surgeries go, shanti medical centre is one of the better ones, with increased abilities to book appointments etc, and receptionist madha is definitely a credit to the surgery and reception staff.
