Review titled Shocked!
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Lynn Grant - Posted on 06 January 2023
I'm still in shock, I've never ever been spoken to so abrasively as I was today by the receptionist.. I booked in a redo of a blood test at the Drs request, I asked the receptionist if she could remind me if this, was a fasting blood test, she said " I don't know" and before I could say don't worry she then said in a very aggressive defensive manner "how would I know Im the receptionist... Shame really, makes the practice look bad when they have staff like that...

Review titled Always above and beyond
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sapphire Jackson - Posted on 18 January 2023
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the staff who have really helped me with my three little ones this week. All three have a virus and the Swallowfield team ensured I was able to get an appointment for each of them throughout the week within a couple of hours of calling. The receptionists were so understanding, reassuring and friendly! My children were greeted by caring paramedics who were just brilliant. I felt so reassured that they were getting the best care. I felt listened to, not rushed and they were so knowledgeable about what to do to help my children get better. Thank you! A fantastic practice, always go above and beyond!

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this feedback: I am very grateful. I have passed your feedback on to the whole team and we are thrilled to hear that you and your family are happy with the treatment they receive here. I see the staff work very very hard to do the best they can for each patient. Sometimes we fail to meet patient expectations and that is frustrating for us too, not just the patients. Thank you again for leaving this feedback - you have lifted the spirits of all of the staff today. Wishing you and your family a very healthy and happy New Year. Helen & the Team

Review titled Exceptional
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Adele Walker - Posted on 23 January 2023
The best practise by far, the staff are always friendly, helpful and accommodating, from the top to the bottom. I have never ever had to wait long to see somebody, even the smallest of issues, they always willing to help. I can not fault the surgery at all. We bought a house in the surgery catchment area because we do not want to leave the surgery. The best "customer service" I have ever experienced with a Dr surgery. So professional yet everyone is so down to earth and approachable. OMG!! I just love this surgery. Thank you to all Swallowfield Medical Centre staff.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to leave this wonderful feedback. I am openly bias about the practice and my colleagues and very proud to work here and with them all. To receive feedback like this confirms to me that I am still in the right job, with the right people for the right reasons. Thank you again, you have made a Monday much nicer for us all. Best wishes. Helen and the team

Review titled Efficient and caring practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Claire Ferris - Posted on 08 January 2023
Called a few days ago to try and arrange a phone call from the doctor and was offered a face-to-face appointment that morning with the paramedic which I was not expecting. I was sent to RBH for tests as a precaution after the practice phoned ahead. Amazingly efficient, caring and informative at every step - you are all doing an excellent job during difficult times and should be thoroughly commended.
