Review titled Registered Nurse Consultation.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Paul Elliott - Posted on 25 November 2024
Earlier this morning I had my blood pressure and some bloods taken by one of the Registered Nurses at Estuary View Medical Centre. I would like to pay complement this Nurse upon her biopsychosocial and person centred approach to myself as the patient. She was most professional, in terms of her communication she was clear in explaining both procedures in a humanistic and supportive manner. Her technique for both procedures was professional and consistent with the NMC Code. Very well done.

I had a medicines review today with the Clinical Pharmacist at Estuary View. It was a very thorough process with clear and understandable explanations about my prescribed medications. Many thanks for the care and consideration shown in providing this excellent service.

Review titled A great experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Katrina - Posted on 08 September 2024
The patient coordinater at the front door was so mindful and considerate, they was very discreet with my reason for being there which I really appreciated as it was a private matter I found them to be very helpful when getting booked in and was very clear on where I needed to go and how to get there without them I wouldn’t have had a clue on what to do or where to go they played a key role upon my arrival and departure. The nurses and the doctor that I saw for my treatment were the best they evidently took their roles very seriously , I actually cried out of relief that for the first time in a long time someone actually listened and took precautionary measures to ensure that I received the correct treatment and made efforts to make me feel so comfortable the levels of professionalism was truely flawless.

Review titled Excellent
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jodie - Posted on 09 August 2024
I just want to say just how impressed I am with the practice. We were seen too straight away by triage. Then we did have a little wait (1.5hrs) but to I didn't think this was long. I just saw ppl being seen to by professional and friendly staff. And when my wife got seen to by the nurse (wonderful lady) and she took the time to look and take in info. Not rushing it. So I would recommend going here if you need to be seen. Really impressed thank-you 😊

Review titled 08 2024
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Madeleine Hillier - Posted on 02 September 2024
I would like to say that after I wrote a complaint on Friday 30th August 2024 I was treated very well by the practice. A lot of what I wrote in the complaint is still valid. However I went in person to the practice probably in anger about how I was treated. The receptionist was extremely helpful. Got in touch with Dr who saw me in person. This would not have happened if I didn’t have someone to take me to the doctors. I cannot walk and cannot drive with this injury this is not an available to everyone. I could not get through via telephone and it was only because someone offered to help me I was able to get to the surgery. However I am extremely grateful for what Dr did for me and the receptionist on duty. Thank you

Review titled Excellent service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sheila - Posted on 10 August 2024
I have been to several surgery in the country and this by far is the most efficient and professional. I came in at 2.30 in the pm and immediately got triaged. Staff are very friendly and thorough making you forget about your pain and condition. The long wait is acceptable as there were a lot of people but when I finally got seen, the qualified nurse, thoroughly checked me and even consulted a colleague to make sure. She answered all my questions and made me feel so at ease. Kudos to the hard working staff of this facility and I wish you all good health and positivity to continue to help people.

Review titled Friendly efficient service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anthea Thomas - Posted on 21 August 2024
I attended Estuary View Medical Practice last night 20th August with suspected loose suture on my cornea graft. I was seen by a very pleasant and friendly member of your team called Geoff accompanied by a very friendly colleague who confirmed that this was the case. He emailed Ashford Emergency Eye Car which has resulted in an appointment there today at 2.30 to have the offending suture removed. Thank you very much to all members but especially Geoff
