Visited Greenmount Surgery in respect of concerns re my knee. The Dr listioned carefully to my concerns and undertook a full examination. Gave two possible causes and recommended an Xray to clarify. Also suggested medicines to help. He was very profesional and caring. I was very happy with the visit.

The Dr who home visited my father was so professional, understanding and calm throughout his visit. He sorted out the things he said he would and without any delay might I add.

Review titled Not holding out much hope
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Joanne Trueman - Posted on 25 May 2024
I have had numerous poor experiences with Tower. The most recent being yesterday, rang at 8am, frustrating listening to all the messages when I just want to speak to someone. Accepted the offer of a callback, 98 in the queue!!! Finally got my callback to be told “sorry no appointments available today you need to ring at 8am” 🤬. The receptionist advised - Try the pharmacy, Ring 111, Ring the out of hours tomorrow 🤷🏼♀️. Out of hours doctors do not have access to your medical records so are quite often unable to help 😡. Tottington used to be a great surgery, very personal, friendly, knowledgeable about their patients, not anymore, now you have to get through the ‘trained’ reception team 🤦🏼♀️ the medically UNTRAINEd reception team who get to decide whether your request is urgent or NOn-urgent.

Review titled Great, thorough GP

by Ian Fenn - Posted on 15 August 2024
My GP decided that I needed to be referred although my symptoms seemed quite harmless. Within weeks I had been treated and have a clean bill of health. Thankyou

Review titled Wonderful Doctor
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Isabel Clarke - Posted on 04 June 2024
I contacted the surgery regarding my husband who has dementia. I was spoken to by a Dr who listened patiently and said he would send someone from the mental health team to do an assessment. He rang back 2 minutes later to say the mental health team couldn't visit for weeks and he would come to the house and do the assessment himself. He gave me a time and arrived promptly. He is now able to prescribe medication for my husband once the nurse has been to take some blood. He has also notified the Social welfare mental health team to visit me and discuss my options. This doctor is a remarkable and compassionate man and an asset to your surgery.

Rated 4 stars out of 5

My midwife sent an email to the practice advising iron tablets, and from processing to prescribing, it was all done within 24 hours, with a text message from the doctors about the prescription being sent. I was very impressed!
