Review titled Great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 February 2025
Appointment arranged quickly, Doctor spent time with me to properly understand everything I was concerned about. Arranged follow up appointments for me, checking dates and times were ok for me first. Felt like I was treated very well and not just another number!

Review titled Outstanding service provided
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 February 2025
The GP I saw was outstanding, I felt listened to and not rushed to get in and out of the appointment. I had a phone call first and then booked in the same day for a face to face appointment. The doctor was super lovely and helpful. Made me feel at ease and showed me there was no need to be worried. I left the appointment with understanding and medication to help recovery. Highly recommend the surgery practice following this experience.

Review titled Blood test
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Robina Kausar - Posted on 16 January 2025
As well as myself, the blood test team know that it's very difficult to find my veins to take blood. Yet, they don't have either the equipment or training to take my blood. They pierce me many times and appointment after appointment just wastes mine as well as their time. Only 2 of the nurses at the clinic were able to take my blood and unfortunately they have left.

Dear Mrs Kausar Thank you for taking the time to leave this 4 star review, we appreciate your comments. I note that the Phlebotomist who took your tests previously managed to obtain a sample last year however I note you have cancelled your appointment to see her tomorrow. If you'd like to rebook, please contact reception and specifically ask to be booked with Laura who did this for you previously, I hope this helps. Kind regards Kim Kim Simpson Practice Manager

I attended the surgery for blood tests today in response to a reminder message. Spot on time, quick,pain-free! All required blood tests conducted at the same time, saving NHS money and most convenient for me. Thank you!

Review titled Fast responses
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 December 2024
Very happy with service. I like the idea of having a call back discuss why you need an appointment. Had an appointment 2 hours later. Sorted my problem and going home with my medication in no time at all. The whole procedure was fast and straightforward. It's a pity car park 7 is no longer there. Apart from that, I would recommend this surgery.
