Review titled Helpful bunch of people
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 01 April 2025
I had an outstanding experience at the practice , and I can’t thank the team enough for their care and professionalism. I recently visited for a check-up, and from the moment I walked in, I felt at ease. The reception staff were welcoming and efficient, making the check-in process seamless. I was seen promptly by the GP, who took the time to listen to my concerns with genuine empathy. They thoroughly explained my symptoms, possible causes, and treatment options, ensuring I felt informed and reassured. What truly stood out was their attention to detail and patient-centred approach. She didn’t rush the appointment, answered all my questions patiently, and provided a clear action plan. I left feeling confident that I was in great hands. A huge thank you to the entire team for making healthcare such a positive experience. I highly recommend the practice to anyone looking for a practice that truly cares about its patients!

I've been a patient at Wallis Avenue for several years, and I can confidently say it's one of the best practices I've experienced. The doctor saw was professional, thorough, and took the time to listen to any concerns. The reception team was friendly, efficient, and helpful, making it easy to book appointments or handle queries. Highly recommend this practice for anyone seeking a professional and caring medical team.

Review titled Just can't get through!
Rated 2 stars out of 5

I had a test undertaken on Friday and desperately needed the results today (Monday) I have severe symptoms and desperately need antibiotics. So i waited until the alloted time of 11am to call for test results. When I rang the first time I waited from 6th to first position in the queue. Then the phone rang for a further 25 minutes once I went past 1st position. No answer. So thinking maybe there may be a fault with their phone I hung up and rang again. The second time I was 4th in the queue then once I got past 1st position I waited 15 minutes. This time a total of 28 minutes. Again i gave up. In the end I drove to the surgery, which is very local. Thereweree three receptionist, not one on a phone and to my surprise, no phones ringing. They were clearly turned of or put to silence. I asked the receptionist if there was an issue with the phones and explained my experience, she said "Yeah, we are busy" But no phones ringing and no one was on a phone! Specific times to ring for several issues are fine, but at least attempt to answer. This is a constant issue with the practice. I was told that my test results were back and if there is anything wrong they will call, if not, we won't ring. But if I still wanted to call back later I was told I could. Yes a fact lot of good that would be if no one answers when patients call! Terribly unreliable service!

Review titled Extremely long wait time and no appointments!
Rated 1 star out of 5

I spent 30 minutes on hold - being told I was fourth, third, second and then first in the queue. When the phone finally rang, it took a further 15 minutes for anyone to answer!! (Yes I waited that long to see if someone would eventually pick up). I finally got through to the practice to book a doctor's appointment to be told they didn't have any appointments and to phone back tomorrow at a specific time for more appointments to be released! The member of staff offered no apology for the ridiculous wait time and no apology for the fact they couldn't find me an appointment. What a waste of time!
