Review titled Fantastic Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs O - Posted on 21 August 2024
Any time I have had an interaction with the GP practice it has been overwhelmingly positive. The receptionists are so happy, helpful and approachable. Whenever we have seen a GP they have been so consistent, caring and thorough. The advice given by the GP is personal to you, they will even send additional helpful information via text message. We moved to this surgery and it's the best decision I've made for our family. We recently saw Dr ******** and she has been fantastic with not only me but my two small children. She put me in touch with a charity helpline and they were amazed that a GP did this. She supported us offering great advice and help.

Clinicians were extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and proactive. They also came across as empathetic and compassionate. The admin staff were ultra efficient, as well as being friendly and polite.

Review titled Great Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Carol Bigland - Posted on 19 July 2023
I have been a patient at this Surgery for 18 years. I have always been able to get an appointment on the day but I only call when I believe that nothing can be sorted at a pharmacy. I have noticed recently that the Reception team have improved. They have a more caring approach when answering calls. It does make a difference to us ,the patients. I am a doctors receptionist at another Surgery so I know how demanding the job is. Well done to the team and keep up the good work.

Review titled Friendly and helpful staff
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Paul - Posted on 20 July 2023
I had cause to call my GP surgery recently. My call was answered in a friendly manner and the person that took my call was very helpful and professional. Despite being a busy surgery I was able to see my doctor the same day. Again the doctor was helpful, friendly, professional. There are many competing pressures on the NHS but whenever I have had to call the surgery I have always been treated very well.

I moved here from another surgery As I couldn’t ever get through on the phone let alone an appointment. Since being at Baddow surgery I must say I have been on hold but always got to see a Dr or nurse the same day. On one occasion I couldn’t get into the surgery and I had a call back within 2 hours. I can’t praise all the staff enough. Keep doing what your doing 10/10

Review titled Blood test
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 March 2023
Although I've had exremely good and bad experiences in this surgery this one was so bad it's worth noting! I made an appointment for my bloods. I had just started a new job so couldn't find an appropriate time to take time off. Wd hen I booked my appointment I hadn't realised that that morning a text had come in to cancel! I went in and they told me it was cancelled. I insisted because getting another day off during probation wasnt something I knew would cause problems at work. The nurse who did my blood was so so unwelcoming and so rude! She didnt even look me in the eye and refused to even respond to anything I said. Did my bloods quietly when I spoke to her she just looked at me angrily. Very unbecoming behaviour for a nurse! Especially when needles are involved.

Review titled Awful practice!
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 January 2023
Tried for 1week to get an answer for my elderly mother. Actually got through twice today, first call on hold for 25 minutes, tried again an hour later got through but on hold for 30 minutes! Would of been quicker to of got in a car and driven there. This is the reason for hospitals being under pressure, Gp'sneed to up their game! Will actually drive there tomorrow to get an answer and to ask to see Practice Manager!

Review titled Just alright
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 April 2023
I've had a couple of interactions with the practice since I moved in the area last year. Let's just say it's not nearly up to the level of my previous GP. But it's okay. It's a small practice in a small village. Receptionists are 50/50, some are really nice, others are meh. I've met one doctor so far, and she was super nice and helpful. And I've had a blood test, which went alright. Not really convenient that they never answer the phone, so if you want to book something (since the online service is meh) you have to go there in person. It's also not open during weekends, which really forces you to take a day off to sort anything out. This is the reason I'm put off most of the times from even contacting this practice, and opting for a private GP, which is 24/7, which gets you an appointment in a couple of hours, and which many employers offer for free thankfully. (I also do have a couple of health matters which need to be monitored, but it seems like it's up to me to make sure I keep track and book blood tests etc.) In conclusion, I understand that this practice works slower, less hours, and is not very proactive. It's small, in a small place, probably surrounded by many retired people with plenty of time.
