Review titled Lovely staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 October 2023
The staff at this surgery don’t deserve some of the negative feedback they get on here. I had an appointment last week and the reception staff were lovely helping me with a medication issue I had. Sorted it for me straight away which was great. I then saw the nurse for my smear test and she was so lovely. She made me feel listened to and really went above and beyond to explain everything to me as I was very nervous, and I wasn’t rushed out the door at all. I have been at this surgery for 8 years and never had an issue. Thank you to all the amazing staff!

All members of staff are friendly and helpful. I've always been well looked after. Especially in recent months due to being ill and hospitalised. I have been with this practice for many years and I've never had any issues.

Review titled Kind Staff and a Practice Who Are There to Help!
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I phoned (slightly after the emergency appointment recommended time) to ask for a urgent drs appointment. At first the receptionist said they didn’t have any left today and I would either need to phone up tomorrow morning or schedule an appointment for 4 weeks time. However, when I said that what the issue was and why it was urgent, the lovely receptionist was so empathetic and understood how important it was. They searched the system to see what they could do and managed to squeeze me in a telephone appointment with the dr (which came not even an hour later). Lots of other surgeries would have just said ‘no’, but they understood the issue and pain I was in today and went above and beyond to try and help. I cannot thank them enough.

Thank you taking the time to provide feedback. Our reception staff are highly trained & very experienced with assisting patients that need high priority clinical input. Although we are not an emergency service, GPs have stated their guidelines as to items that they feel are classified as high priority rather than a routine appointment and we always work within these. I am glad you received the support you needed today. Although we don't have a cut off time for urgent requests we do ask patients to contact us as early in the day as possible as we only have a limited number of staff and therefore a finite number of appointments we can safely offer in one day. It is always worth discussing with the reception team if you feel an issue can not wait to the next routine appointment and we will advise you of all the options available. This may be another clinical staff member, a nurse, a pharmacist, a physiotherapist or another support service such as out of hours appointments. We really do want to help our patients the best we can. I will pass on your feedback to the whole team. Best wishes Cher Rooney (practice manager)

Ardingly Court surgery has been nothing but supportive towards me. I have a few medical issues and my Doctor goes above and beyond to help and support me. Very caring. I never feel that I am a burden. If they say they will get in contact with me, they do. I am very grateful and happy towards all the staff at the surgery. Thank you

I want to express my gratitude, to the reception staff at the practice, and to the nurses and doctors. I had originally not wanted to bother the surgery for an appointment as I know these are difficult times in the NHS After a few weeks when my condition was concerning , I decided to pop in just to ask if it was possible to see a doctor, the receptionist was very supportive and I offered me a face-to-face consultation later that day The doctor prescribed me some medication and said if it hasn’t cleared up in the week that I must come back . I called up on the 7th day as I had the problem had not improved , I called up and was offered an appointment that day. The doctor that I saw put me on a fast track appointment to see a specialist at the hospital I want to say what wonderful patient support I was given . I would recommend anybody if you have any worries at all to talk to the reception they are very supportive and always ready to help and reassure . If needed they will do that best to give you an appointment either a face-to-face or a consultation on the phone.

Review titled Outstanding active care
Rated 5 stars out of 5

This practice has super caring attentive GPs and subsidiary staff and services. It feels remarkable, especially in the current climate of decline and degrading of our NHS, to experience such active and responsive support and care.

Review titled Safety net
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I had developed what I thought were varicose veins in my right leg and had been experiencing pain. The Doctor saw me for a face-to-face appointment and undertook a thorough examination as well as asking a range of pertinent questions. He undertook this with great professionalism, patience and empathy. His consideration of possible underlying causes led him to personally phone the Royal Sussex County Hospital in order to arrange an urgent doppler scan of my leg. I was phoned the next morning by the hospital and an appointment made for the following day. The scan was undertaken and to my surprise they discovered a DVT. In the following few hours the iv therapy department took blood samples, an ECG, BP and oxygen saturation tests. The excellent duty Doctor discussed my case at length and prescribed anticoagulants (giving me an initial tablet there and then, as the hospital pharmacy was closed by that time). The hospital phoned me in the morning to check I had picked up the prescription (while I was waiting at the pharmacy) and gave me some valuable advice and information, as well as putting a follow up assessment appointment into place. That evening I received a phone call from my Doctor who had not yet been updated by the hospital. He wanted to know if I was okay and what the outcome was, as well asking me to book another face-to-face appointment in two weeks for a review, and so that he could prescribe a 6-month, lower dose, course of anticoagulants as advised by the hospital. My Doctor’s attention to detail resulted in the diagnosis of a clot in my leg, which could have led to a pulmonary embolism and a life-threatening situation. His actions, his follow up care and his approach were gold standard: I am extremely grateful to him, to the surgery reception staff, and to all involved at the hospital.
