Review titled So fortunate to have this brilliant medical practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by J Thoms - Posted on 11 May 2023
I feel prompted to write once again to praise The Limes and all its staff for the continued fantastic service they are providing to their patients. Having been with them for most of my life I have always felt supported and reassured that they are there to help me and my family with health issues. The reception staff always adopt a ‘can do’ policy to offer help, and they are always cheery and friendly which makes such a difference. The doctors are similarly proactive to help resolve problems and I always feel I know the ‘plan’ moving forward with treatment. I find the online patient record and NHS app a huge help in keeping on top of test results and dates which I always struggle to remember. Knowledge is power as they say and understanding what is happening with one’s health takes away a lot of the anxiety. I also think it’s important for us all to take responsibility for our own health which I think must ease the burden in the system to a degree. Many thanks to all the doctors, nurses and support staff at The Limes for your amazing work. We are so grateful.

Review titled Putting the patient at ease
Rated 5 stars out of 5

The telephonist who answered my query put me at ease by using my forename, rather than treating me as it were at a distance. Each time she acknowledged me as the enquirer, my confidence in tbe advice given grew. Thank you.

Whilst enquiring about test results I have just had the pleasure of speaking to a wonderful member of staff who was polite, listened intently, gave good information and generally went above and beyond her role. Thank you!

Review titled Same day appointments
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 May 2023
So frustrating 5 mornings I’ve been calling for a same day appointment from 8:30. “Lines are full please call back”. Call back same message, still busy… one of the days I got a ring back, no available same day appointment, had another ring back on another day, no available on that day either. I’m poorly on chemotherapy so I really need an appointment and the support from my GP. Please The Limes do something with your appointment system.

I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't been able to book a same day appointment. We do have a duty doctor on the day for urgent issues so I would like to listen to the phone call to see what signposting was offered to you in case more training is needed for the team. Please feel free to call me directly on 01992 566555. Again our apologies. Regards Debbie Bodhanya, Managing Partner

Review titled Appointment debacle
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Maureen Franklin - Posted on 18 April 2023
Tried for 2 consecutive days from 8.30 onwards to get appointment to discuss knee X-rays and treatment, could not get past “queue full try later” on both days for 1hour. Would like to know how queue can be full if nobody can contact you before 8.30 which is when I started trying. As usual all appointments taken when I finally managed to get a call back. My calls yesterday resulted in a promise for the duty doctor to call me at sometime that day, this did not happen! I have again been told this morning (eventually speaking to someone) that I am still on the list for a call, hopefully this will happen as I urgently need some treatment for swollen joints in my left knee as per the X-rays I had taken 2 weeks ago, requested by the surgery. I am 77 years old and am currently being treated for bladder cancer and this added stress is not needed. 18.04.2023

Dear Mrs Franklin I can see that the duty doctor did call you for your consultation but you weren't home on the first call. She then called back and was able to speak with you. I am so sorry that the phones are so busy. We took over 2000 calls on Monday. We continue to look at ways to reduce the 8.30 "rush" and the call back option does seem to have helped somewhat but the demand is extremely high. I am pleased that you have had your x-rays and some further suggestions for help with the pain. Many thanks for your feedback Debbie Bodhanya Managing Partner
