Review titled Wonderful service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Katy Daghorn - Posted on 14 June 2024
If I'm honest I have struggled to get through on the phones or to get an appointment at this surgery in the past. However today I went in and the service from the reception staff was fantastic. They went above and beyond to deal with my long-winded request, which included referrals from a separate ADHD team and record access request. They even consulted other members of staff to help when needed. They booked in all my blood tests and various appointments that I required and did it all with a friendly smile and a kind, helpful energy. Thank you so much!

Review titled Great doctors thank you
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jackie Permale - Posted on 22 May 2024
My visit today was one of the best I have ever had I am very grateful for the NHS in this country and we can normally get an appointment. My doctor I saw today was absolutely wonderful very attentive and made me feel she was interested in my well being! I’m so grateful for her! Some of the male Doctors need to get more patient skills! Hope she never leaves the surgery. I am still buzzing thank you Dr for your professional service.

Review titled Near impossible to get an appointment
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Jennie Caminada - Posted on 10 May 2024
It remains near impossible to get an appointment. The new triage system is online only which I feel is extremely discriminatory to those who lack digital skills. I am myself a very digital person but cannot make an appointment. Today I tried many times, the link to an E consult form didn’t respond, it only reset the home page. I called the surgery for an explanation and it took 20 mins to get through only to he told it was likely capacity had been reached. I have no idea why the online system would not just say this. As it was it appeared to be malfunctioning. I wasted mine and the receptionist’s valuable time. Also, it was 9:30 in the morning and all appointments had already gone. There is nowhere stating to start the process at 8am If these are teething problems they need to be addressed. Fact remains its almost impossible to get an appointment

Review titled Never recovered post pandemic
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 May 2024
The surgery used to be really good. A nice variety of doctors, friendly staff able to get an appointment. Now the service is awful. It is near impossible to get an appointment. The total triage is impersonal and leaves you at the back of the queue for treatment. I have spent over a month trying to get an appointment. Fit the first few weeks I couldn't register my complaint as the total triage was being shut by 9am done days due to having a high number of requests. This effectively gives you one hour to get your requests in, though if you are working. Once my request has been sent I've heard nothing for weeks. I feel forgotten. It no longer feels as though I have access to care. Referral requests made last year have not been actioned yet we all know how long waiting lists are she the need to get on treatment lists quickly. Since covid I have not been seen face to face. In the telephone appointments I was rushed and was once rudely told that I could only explain one ailment as it other patients were waiting. This was 4 minutes into my call. I'm supposed to have 15 minutes consultation time and as it takes so long to get an appointment I feel that doctors should allow me to take about more than one issue. If blood tests are negative then Dr will not follow up with alternative investigations. It is exhausting having to constantly chase them. I had an acute injury and it took weeks for my Dr to read my MRI report. I had to chase them!! I worry about the future of this practice

Review titled Kindness makes all the difference
Rated 4 stars out of 5

This morning the reception team went out of their way to help me get a sample sent off for my son which was missing a label. Their kindness and flexibility made all the difference when I was feeling stressed and anxious.

Review titled Very helpful
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rukiye - Posted on 03 April 2024
I had missed my telephone consultation and had to most likely fill in another e consult but the receptionist (sorry I don’t know her name) went out of her way and managed to book me in a face to face app with a doc the following day. Soo helpful and kind..

Review titled Rude recepti
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Julie - Posted on 02 April 2024
Tried to recieve test results today after being cut off twice and the phone ringing for at least 20 minutes I was told by a receptionist they was in but a dr hasn’t checked them call later Left it till 6pm rang back to be told to look on line for my results Tried to look nothing was there rang back again waited over 15 minutes to be answered and told the surgery was closed and ring back tomorrow I asked for my results to be told they don’t give them over the phone any more but was not told this earlier What is the actual point in haveing a reception if they can’t book appointments or give out results

Review titled Excellent service
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Tina - Posted on 02 April 2024
magnificent as usual. Helped me to sort out a problem with regards to who I was going to see. As this appointment wasn't possible I then cancelled. The admin was very helpful and got me another appointment straight away.
