  1. Review titled Always helpful and caring.

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Mrs Patricia A Volante - Posted on 20 April 2024

    Due to multiple problems I often need advice, or appointments at this Practice. The receptionists are always very kind and helpful. If I need an appointment, I know that they do their best to fit me in as soon as possible. The Doctors and nursing staff take time to read my copious notes, check when my blood tests are due, they take time to advise and explain test results or new medication to me carefully. I really feel that I am in safe hands at this Practice. Thank you so much.

  2. Review titled They don't reply emails

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    I sent email to them on 18.12.2023 and still did not get reply. I am dissapointed with this. It seems to me they don't care.

  3. Review titled Great practice

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Lynne Wheeler - Posted on 08 March 2023

    Although sometimes there is a wait for the phone to be answered (which I understand will be dependant upon the amount of people trying to phone at the same time/issues arising at the surgery with patients present) On every occasion of contacting the surgery the receptionists have been extremely helpful in providing an appointment or any other service required. The nurse practitioners are also amazing & when I have had to see a doctor they deal with the issues I have gone to see them about.

    Thank you for your kind comments which we really appreciated. We have just updated our telephone system and we are hoping this will help greatly with patients not having to wait to be answered.

    Dear Patient, Thank you for the feedback, we take patient care very seriously and are sincerely disappointed that you did not receive the highest standard of care. There has been a new telephone system installed in the surgery and staff to help to answer the calls. If you feel you would like to discuss this further please email: northumberland.avenue@nhs.net
