Review titled Helpful staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Susan Brewer - Posted on 04 November 2023
I had a recent double physio appointment to discuss many ongoing joint related problems and the consultant listened and was so very helpful. I’ve been with the his practice since it merged and I was moved from Sandy lane and I have never been able to discuss my health issues like this before. Also the reception staff are always very organised and helpful

Review titled Disgraceful
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 January 2023
Had a referral for a sick note sent to my GP, rang at 8am, got through to receptionist at 9:30am. Surprise surprise - no appointments left and no record of my referral so I was told to call back at 8am tomorrow or queue up outside. This is disgusting? Because I rang the mental health team back and they sent the referral on Friday. You have made my mental health condition worse and I can’t get through to speak to anyone. Horrible service with no empathy towards patients

Review titled Awful service, a let down for the community.
Rated 1 star out of 5

I don't normally leave reviews, but something has to be said about this doctors surgery. If you want an appointment you have to call up on the day you want the appointment, lines open at 8am and all appointments will be gone by 8:30am. You cannot book in advance. Online appointments are never listed. You will be told to call back another day or go to the walk in centre. It is just impossible trying to deal with this company and they never change in a way that benefits the patient.

Review titled Professional but still friendly
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 August 2022
I saw a nurse for a routine procedure at Birleywood this morning. The receptionist was attentive and helpful and I did not have to wait long; I went in for my appointment a few minutes early! The nurse was welcoming but still professional and she worked in an efficient but calm manner. She explained clearly what would happen and/or what things would feel like before she did them. I have encountered other medical practitioners who could learn a few things from her! She was fab.
