Rated 5 stars out of 5

Dr A and the reception team were so helpful, even called me back in the same day for tests. I cannot thank the surgery enough, Dr A is lovely and so reassuring. The reception was so helpful and kept me well informed.

Review titled Filled with dread for the future….
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 May 2024
Pushing 50 years old and asthmatic, not had a face to face appointment with a doctor/nurse in 5 1/2 years. My interaction with the receptionist led me to suspect it isn’t likely to happen for perhaps another 5 or so years. Receptionist (who isn’t a doctor) attempted to quiz me on my symptoms in front of a queue of people, with no awareness any personal privacy issues. Gave up in the end.

Dear Patient Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We deeply regret that your recent experience with our practice did not meet your expectations, particularly given your health concerns and the sensitive nature of your symptoms. Firstly, I want to apologise for the long period without a face-to-face appointment and for any distress this may have caused you. Your health and well-being are our top priorities, and it is clear that we need to do better in addressing your needs. We do have face-to-face appointments available to book with our asthma nurse or a GP and I would urge you to contact us again so that we can get you booked in. I am also sorry to hear about the interaction with our receptionist. We strive to ensure that all patients are treated with respect and that their privacy is protected and we obviously failed on this occassion. Unfortunately some questions are necessay in order to signpost you to the correct care giver and I am sorry that the front desk lacks privacy. Please contact the surgery and ask for the Reception Manager and we can follow up on your concerns. Kind regards Annette Lidbetter Practice Manager

Review titled Couldn’t be more grateful
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Georgia Goss - Posted on 09 March 2024
During my visit to Orchard Surgery in March 2024, I was once again impressed by the exceptional service provided by the reception staff. Their kindness, courtesy, and genuine care were evident from the moment I walked in. Despite the busy schedule, they took the time to address my concerns with utmost professionalism. Their willingness to go above and beyond to assist me reaffirmed my trust in their dedication. As they called me by name, I felt a sense of familiarity and warmth that truly made me feel valued as a patient. However, it was disheartening to witness some patients being rude to the reception staff during my visit. Such behaviour is uncalled for and detracts from the outstanding service they provide. It's crucial to acknowledge and appreciate their hard work, treating them with the respect and kindness they deserve.

Review titled Excellent Health Center
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Seymour Stuart - Posted on 07 November 2022
I've been a patient at The Orchard Surgery in Lancing for over 12 years and have had nothing but excellent service from all the staff there. Even when very busy and under pressure all the staff have been very professional and very understanding. I'll say it has to be the best health centre I've had the privilege of using. Well done to the entire team and can't thank you enough for looking after me.
