  1. Review titled No follow-up on requests

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Lee GOULBOURNE - Posted on 09 November 2024

    Forced to use on-line services which are really user unfrienly!!! Pointless trying to use the phone. Requested change of medication, for on on-going i.e.. known condition. Got a responce to book a blood test (2.5 weeks was the earliest)!!! Had blood test, got three sms messages, asking for a review, advising of cholesterol levels, advising NHS app. That's it, no further action required! So after 4 weeks, my original request has gone unanswered, I'm still in pain & getting frustrated with the rubbish NHS & Anima services.

  2. Review titled Minor Surgery

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Valerie - Posted on 13 July 2024

    I have just returned from the practice after having a minor surgical procedure (mole removal) onsite. I was not aware that the practice offered this until one of the nurses mentioned it to me. My appointment came through really quickly so meant no long hospital wait or travelling. I can’t praise the service enough. The surgeon explained the procedure fully & was very helpful and friendly, as was the nurse who put me at ease throughout. I was worried about having it done but needn’t have as I never felt a thing. I definitely recommend this facility & so glad I was told about it. Thank you to the surgeon & nurse.

  3. Review titled Minor Surgery

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    I had a cyst removed today at The Oaks surgery and the GP and nurse went above and beyond to put me at ease by explaining everything beforehand and continuing to tell me how it was going throughout the procedure. I have no hesitation in recommending the minor surgery clinic along with The Oaks generally. Thankyou

  4. Review titled Very helpful

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Gill Hillitt - Posted on 26 July 2024

    I had a problem with my husband's medication, came into reception and spoke to the receptionist (who was also very helpful). A lady (from prescribing) came out to talk to me, and spent time sorting everything out. Tablets are now in my possession, and I can look forward to a stress-free weekend!

  5. Review titled Hugely impressed- new patient

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Erin Lawson-Smith - Posted on 27 June 2024

    I recently moved house and transferred to The Oaks Medical Centre. I was nervous because I had a wonderful previous GP surgery. I got caught up in the chaos of moving house, as you do, and realised I hadn't set up my repeat prescriptions and only had a couple of days left before I would run out. I submitted a prescription request through the "Anima" service (which I haven't seen before) and was able to detail what I needed and why I used those medications. The auto-reply said it could take a couple of working days for a response. I was amazed when I had a message barely half an hour later to confirm all of my prescriptions. One of them had been missed off accidentally so I submitted another request and it was only about 10 minutes before one of the GPs texted me directly to apologise for missing it and to confirm it was now prescribed. My first impression of The Oaks Medical Centre is overwhelmingly positive and I feel in safe hands already. As a doctor myself I can find it hard to find time to call a surgery during working hours so this service will be a blessing.

    Cannot thank this surgery enough! My daughter had a face to face with the doctor. The doctor could not have done any more, she was so approachable. We are new patients at the practice and i am so glad we changed! Thanks again. Highly recommend

  9. Review titled Exceptional !

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Angie - Posted on 27 January 2023

    The care from this surgery is exceptional. The receptionists are excellent. They are always polite and friendly and go out of their way to help you. The same applies to most of the doctors. The care they have given has been excellent and so is the follow up care. I cannot fault the care I have been given. The pharmacy joined onto the surgery reflects the same standards. They are very busy but medicines are always there on time! They are there to help and advise and are always friendly. All in all The Oaks sets a standard that other surgeries should follow. Thank you all.

  10. Review titled Outstanding Service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by LWheeler - Posted on 29 December 2022

    The member of staff who was making telephone bookings went above and beyond to assist me to access the correct medical care. Follow-up care by the medical staff at the surgery was exceptional. The gentleman that I was directed to was kind, patient and so reassuring. Thank you. A wonderful team at The Oaks Medical Centre.
