Review titled Seating
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 June 2024
The surgery is fine but they don’t have any seats with arms which most surgeries have these days. I asked for a chair with arms and was told they only have a wheelchair!! I’m an OAP with mobility problems.

I am writing to address my disappointment with the communication from Willows Medical Centre regarding my mental health concerns. Despite reaching out to them via email on June 6th, 2024, I have yet to receive a response as of today, June 18th, 2024. The lack of communication has left me uncertain about the appropriate steps to take next. It is crucial that men’s mental health is taken seriously, and timely responses are essential in ensuring individuals receive the support they need. I hope that my concerns will be addressed promptly to avoid similar experiences for others in the future.

Review titled Great practice after recent changes
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 December 2023
In the past I have had many issues with ringing for 30 minutes and getting an appointment and if I'm lucky to actually get one then I'd have an appointment given to me at a sister site. However recently if I need an appointment, I ring up at 8am, press 1 and hang up. The surgery rings me back when it's my turn in the q and three times I've been able to book an appt at the surgery. The doctor I've seen had always been the same and is fantastic at explaining things and always uses diagrams and pictures to help understand. Very happy with the service from them. Only snag would be why don't they take down unnecessary posters dotted everywhere. One poster must be "you must wear masks at all times due to covid' and next to that poster there's another which says along the lines of just.. 'wear a mask if you have a cough/cold.' I'm not sure why surgeries have no music playing in the reception because with it being pin drop silence everything in the waiting area, you hear absolutely every query raised by patients to the reception staff.

Review titled Not a nice nurse
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 October 2023
Came to see the nurse for a smear and swabs so I can be referred to a gynaecologist. One of the nurses at the practice is lovely and a pleasure to see however the other is not. Very uncaring and cold, she did my swabs and smear and I told her twice she was causing me pain but did not care and continued. She did not use any lubricant gel either, I was so sore after and overall this was a horrible experience for a very personal matter. No bedside manner at all and showed no sympathy even after telling her that she hurting me. I would not want to see this nurse again. Horrible experience

Review titled Rude staff
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Sima Khan - Posted on 09 October 2023
I wasn't late but stuck in the qué behind three people, one of which who had a disagreement with the inexperienced receptionist. Did not handle the situation well. Then I get told I'm very late and will have to wait. Nurse taking bloods waffled something and walked back in.

Review titled Willows medical centre.
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Karen - Posted on 10 October 2023
Willows medical centre is awful for trying to get through on the telephone, it's usually a wait of around 40 minutes to an hour! And getting an appointment is like trying to get blood from a stone, they tell you to ring at 8am but by the time you get through all the appointments have gone so they tell you to ring back again the next day at 8am to again wait for another hour to be told again that all the appointments have gone. They seriously need to sort it out! The doctors I have spoken to have been very good but to actually get to see one or speak to one or even to get through to the surgery is an actual nightmare and outs me off ringing even when I really need to speak to a doctor.
