  1. Review titled Very professional GP

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Andrew Alexander - Posted on 16 December 2024

    I was seen promptly after explaining my issue on the phone, and with no delay on arrival. The doctor I saw was extremely professional, reassuring and explained his diagnosis clearly and succinctly. The staff answering the phones at the practice can be a bit brusque and are obviously under quite a lot of pressure, but the system allowing patients to wait in a virtual queue is very effective.

  2. Review titled Very professional and understanding!

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Hamida Zakhel - Posted on 13 December 2024

    I recently had an excellent experience with my GP that I feel compelled to share. From the moment I arrived, the communication was clear and welcoming. The doctor was incredibly thorough in diagnosing my issue, taking the time to listen to my concerns and answer all my questions. After a careful assessment, they provided thoughtful health advice tailored to my needs and prescribed the appropriate treatment. I also appreciated the option for on-call requests, which made it easy to reach out for any follow-up questions. When necessary, the GP arranged a referral to a specialist, ensuring I received the best possible care. The support I received throughout the process was outstanding, and I was able to secure appropriate appointments without any hassle. Overall, I am very grateful for the attentive care and professionalism shown by my GP. Highly recommend!

  3. Review titled Some of the reception staff are just awful.

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 13 December 2024

    Some of the reception staff need to go on a customer service course, they're just unnecessarily rude. I'm a very friendly person despite being ill. Often the women on reception don't even acknowledge you then when they finally do they act like they're doing you a favour rather than their job. This happened yet again today. It's a shame as this practice has worked hard to turn the service and reviews around and the first people you come across, the face of the practice are just letting you down. However, the young GP I saw today was excellent. I'd like to name her because she deserves the credit but the review won't allow it. She listened and did everything she could to help me. Very impressed by her and a credit to your practice.

  4. Review titled Inefficient appointment system

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 11 November 2024

    Trying to get an urgent appointment. Waited in a long queue to get through on the phone at 8am. To be then told would need to wait for another call back to triage and see whether I would even be offered an appointment. I am still waiting 3.5 hours later for the call back. Tried to call back to see what's happening but there are 21 people in the queue before me. This seems like a ridiculous system, for someone in discomfort and in need of an urgent appointment or needing to know if they will even be offered one.

  5. Review titled Rubbish admin system

    by Anonymous - Posted on 11 November 2024

    I filled out the online form asking for GP to call me / refer me when I back in the country. I have them the date I would be in UK. They texted and said I should book an in person appointment. I went to surge try to do this and they said they would call me. It’s like the song there’s a hole in my bucket - going round and round and round in circles

  7. Review titled Extremely rude

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 05 November 2024

    Rang this morning only to be told by the rude receptionist that the doctor will call by 9:20am. Why am I still sitting here waiting 3 hours later for the doctor to call me. This surgery is the worst place ever. I wouldn’t recommend this place if it was the last place on this earth.
