Review titled Specific review - blood sample results
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by HRJ - Posted on 20 August 2024
A nurse took my blood on Tuesday 13th August. I could see the results via Patient Access the next day and received a text from my GP on Thursday 15th August to confirm that he had reviewed my results at which time he also recommended his considered course of action. I am truly amazed at the speed of this turnaround hence this review. However, my continuing opinion of the NHS in general is that it is ‘flaky’ and inconsistent (see specific example below). So well done on this occasion but be aware there’s lots if work to be done to improve patient perception of NHS services in general. My experience of a colonoscopy at the Royal Surrey Hospital in March 2022 and availability of well documented results was excellent. My son - who had a colonoscopy at St Peter’s Hospital, Chertsey had a totally different experience at around the same time and previously when results were not forthcoming and, generally, the experience was truly appalling. He is, to my knowledge, still not in receipt of clear documented evidence of the result of multiple colonoscopies and investigations.

Review titled Outstanding
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Roger Carter - Posted on 02 August 2024
Today I went into the surgery and discussed my problem with the receptionist who was absolutely amazing. She took all my details but had to check something with the staff behind the scenes. A few questions later and plenty of typing by the receptionist, we completed the conversation. She mentioned that the doctor would phone later in the day and within an hour and half Doctor was in contact- what a great experience talking to the doctor and he was extremely helpful. The receptionist deserves to be mentioned in a surgery meeting as she gives five star treatment. I have never experienced bad service when visiting/phoning the Cranleigh surgery and everyone is so helpful and kind. Once again thank you all for the outstanding service and dedication to the NHS

Review titled Great service Pharmacy First

by Pam - Posted on 13 July 2024
Cranleigh Medical Practice suggested Pharmacy First. It was a brilliant service. I was seen straight away and given excellent advice by a fully trained pharmacist.

Review titled First class care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 June 2024
I saw one of the nurses, as I was feeling unwell. She suspected sepsis and brought in one of the Gps and an ambulance was called. The combined care from the team was professional, empathetic and reassuring. They went above and beyond and I cannot praise Cranleigh Medical Centre highly enough.

Review titled Avoid seeing the patients at all costs
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 July 2024
I had some gynea issues over a few years but after quick investigations was told they could not find anything despite not being able to explain the symptoms. Recently started experienced spotting and went again. Same urine test and scan and eventually agreed to refer to consultant 5 months later. Two weeks ago I started to bleed between my periods and was feeling fainted with very heavy flow to the point I had to come back from work. Called the GP, it took an hour to reach someone despite being one in the waiting queue. Spoke to receptionist explaining my concerns and fact I was not feeling well and wanted to be reviewed as my specialist appointment was weeks away. This was followed by a text message 3 hours later asking explained again which I did. Had a text back saying nothing else the primary care could do for me and good luck for my appointment. How can one diagnosed on text message? It would have taken the same time to speak to me, telling me what to keep an eye on or reassure me. I had to self medicate with over the counter iron painkillers without knowing what was happening. I then attended my consultant appointment and overheard her saying to the nurse that I had been left in so much pain for 7 years while all along this was cause by a reaction to my coil and this should have been sorted years ago. The standard has gone down with covid as an excuse for patient to be triaged by non medical staff and assuming patient are available to wait / chase etc. Unacceptable

Review titled Good Experience
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 August 2024
I have seen the same GP twice in connection with two serious conditions. My experience with the GP on each occasion was very good, helpful and thorough. The conclusion was hospital treatment which in one case was well organised and efficient but in the other required going private. This was not Cranleigh medical practices fault.

Review titled We are lucky to have
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Shirley Baker - Posted on 29 May 2024
We were able to contact the surgery and get a response the same day. The response was excellent with the Doctor giving a very compassionate and detailed analysis of my situation. I left the surgery being reassured and confident they were going to follow up my future treatment. I would recommend this practice and feel Cranleigh is very lucky to have this hard working practice.

Review titled Very efficient
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Bridget Howland - Posted on 09 April 2024
I received an immediate response to my concerns over a recent knee operation, and was extremely impressed with the thoroughness of the help and advice I was given. This included my doctor arranging for me to be seen the following morning by the orthopaedic team at The Royal Surrey for extensive tests to check for DVTs, infection and the knee operation itself.
