Review titled Travel Vaccinations
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 June 2024
St Luke's Surgery have stopped offering travel vaccinations part way through my Daughters treatment plan. After the first course she was messaged by the practice nurse to say sorry that one of the injections had been missed. When a phone call was made to the surgery to arrange a follow up appointment for this injection we were advised that St Luke's Surgery are no longer offering Travel Vaccinations. I explained it was not reasonable to refuse to offer an injection that the nurse inadvertently missed. I said that even if the surgery have decided to change their offer they should complete a treatment plan. The receptionist put these points to the nurse and the nurse is said to have still refused to give the last injection. This is not how St Lukes used to treat patients.

Thank you for you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am sorry you felt the surgery has not met the needs of your daughters travel vaccination plan. I have since spoken to you and explained the Surgery does offer NHS travel vaccines however we are unable to offer any Non NHS travel vaccines at this time. As discussed on the phone Non NHS vaccines required for travel can be obtained at private travel clinics. Yours sincerely, Rachael Dilley Assistant Practice Manager

Review titled Failure at point of entry
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Shane Ohara - Posted on 31 May 2023
I rarely trouble my local GP. I am one of those men who only goes to the doctor when something is very wrong. I rang today to get an urgent appointment because I have a lump near my thyroid which has persisted for the last 2-3 months. I have difficulty swallowing and no infection. The receptionist was dismissive and offered an appointment in a months time. At a time when so many people are being diagnosed with cancer too late, it is shocking that one of the significant reasons for late diagnosis is likely to be receptionists who are simply not qualified to be in the critical diagnosis pathway.

Review titled Excellent Patient Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sarah Stanley - Posted on 13 April 2023
I am full of praise for St Luke's Surgery. I have been a patient for over 30 years now and the team have never failed to deliver excellent medical attention. The Reception Team are courteous and recently I was seen expeditiously when I called in earlier this week. As always it was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this practice to those newcomers to the area, or those wishing to perhaps make a change .

Review titled Very poor treatment of Autistic daughter
Rated 1 star out of 5
by M.Ashby - Posted on 30 April 2023
My daughter has autism and complex needs. She has been treated appallingly by staff who have been rude and unhelpful. She has significant communication difficulties and needs patience and understanding, however staff have gone out of their way to make her feel rushed and stressed to the point of melt down. They have a '5 min rule' on the phone so if you cannot communicate your needs in that time they put the phone down. I have made several attempts to contact the practice manager and named doctor for my daughter but they have refused all attempts to work with us. All calls & emails to practice manager have been ignored. All reasonable adjustments for her disability have been dismissed as attempts to manipulate . Every parent with a severely disabled child fears the time they can no longer care for them & this unfortunately is the reality. It's probably a lovely practice if you are middle class with private insurance but appalling if you are complex or disabled and when something goes wrong they do not want to know and are impossible to contact.

Review titled Very poor experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 May 2023
Very uncaring team and lack understanding of autism and mental health. They insisted on repeated appointment for the same issue. I left one appointment with a list of 4 appointments in the same week at the practice with a doctor who was inexperienced and offered no useful advice or treatment and despite telling the doctor I would not be able to attend them all and would prefer just 1 they refused to cancel. Then very rudely criticized by another member of staff because I wasn't able to attend despite trying to cancel . The inexperienced doctor then decided they had enough of me as I have a complex disability and decided to move me on elsewhere. Very confusing and conflicting advice and impossible to understand. All reception staff went out of their way to make me feel stupid for being autistic and mocked and criticized me every time I got one of their 'rules' wrong (rules changed from week to week and different staff have different rules) They are only interested in positive feedback and the practice management and lead doctor both refused to meet and discuss the issues so I think anyone with autism or caring for someone with autism or similar disability would be very safe at this surgery

Review titled Outstanding Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Victoria Keenan - Posted on 06 March 2023
I called the practice on the off chance they could see my son after after finding out there was a 4hr wait at the walk in centre after an accident he had had that afternoon with his finger at school, the receptionist was very helpful and fitted him in with in the hour of me calling. The doctor was outstanding, kind and caring towards my son, dealt with his sore finger, cleaned it and dressed it while making him feel calm and relaxed. Many Thanks for all your help.

Review titled Prompt thorough care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by bryan pentland - Posted on 08 March 2023
In at least three occasions over the last 5 years my wife and I have had a need for emergency consultation, in one case leading to an urgent cancer referral. In every case we were dealt with speedily and given the consultation the next day other than a weekends. The staff were courteous and caring and continue to be so. Your service we have received is excellent.

Review titled Excellent practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5

The practice staff from receptionists to the nurses and Doctors are helpful, understanding and strive to do their best by the patient. I have always managed to get an appointment within a reasonable time frame, even during these times when the NHS is stretched. The practice itself is in a modern building and has a range of other facilities such as physiotherapists, a pharmacy and plentiful parking. The practice is well run and send helpful text messages with updates about the service. Thank you St Luke’s!
