Review titled Thank you
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sian - Posted on 13 June 2024
I feel compelled to say how grateful I am to the staff at New Springwells. I have consistently been able to get appointments for my 3 children and myself in a timely manner (always same day for the children) and we have been treated with such kindness and compassion on all occasions. I cannot thank the staff enough for the way they handle my little ones. One example from today, my son has hand foot and mouth, he was very distressed in the surgery so the nurse took him outside to see the ducks to try to calm him down and enable her to do her checks. I think this is going above and beyond, she is an angel in my eyes. Also, 5.5 years ago, the nurse and Dr that saw me saved my life by insisting I went to hospital when I had mastitis despite my reluctance, saving me from sepsis. I am so grateful to them. There are many other examples I could give (3 very young children = many inevitable trips to the GP) and every time I have been cared for with kindness. Thank you to them. It means so much.

Review titled No appointments available until 7 days
Rated 3 stars out of 5

Early today, I rang reception to make an appointment at The New Springwells Surgery in Billingborough. I am in pain and discomfort from my jaw. It has been like this for a week and not getting better. I had put off ringing as I hoped it would improve. It is not a dental problem. My jaw will not close properly so difficult to eat as I cannot chew. The pain has now spread to my ear. I cannot have an appointment to see a doctor until 7 days. I am in shock at how I was treated by the receptionist who was abrupt, unprofessional, uncaring and not qualified She could offer no alternative. At various points of my call, she discussed my problem with another person. I am told to go to A&E, but this isn’t a emergency ! I am 77, how do I get to Grantham, Lincoln or Boston ? At the moment my car is off the road. A most unsatisfactory and very uncaring telephone conversation from the receptionist, who is making decisions that a doctor should be making. Pushing me into a hospital visit, is putting me in an already over crowded waiting room that is breaking at the seams and unable to cope. Most unsatisfactory.

Review titled Quick and efficient!
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I contacted my GP surgery as very unwell. I was reassured a nurse would call me back. An hour later a nurse practitioner called me back and discussed my situation. Her telephone assessment was thorough and she listened to me. She arranged appropriate treatment ready within the hour. I am so greatful for their timely service and highly recommend this practice to anyone in the area. Thank you springwells for being such a fantastic hardworking practice!
