Review titled Prompt Very Good Service 26 September 2024
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Keith Brooks - Posted on 27 September 2024
Catheter fitted by (outpatients) Hospital staff however, problems encountered. Advised by Hospital that need to attend Doctor's Surgery or A&E to resolve. My wife spoke to Fern House receptionist who booked an immediate appointment with a Clinician. After discussions the Clinician referred me to Community Nurses. Advised that a Community Nurse would attend to resolve issues. A Community Nurse arrived within 2 hours, removed hospital catheter and fitted another which worked without issue and left a backup contact number if any other issues were encountered. I am very pleased with the outcome and I'd like to thank everyone involved for such a speedy response to a situation which was causing me considerable anxiety. I have benefitted from people who have provided very good professional behaviour in all areas of their work.

Review titled Appreciation of Experience as patient at Fern House Surgery
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Valerie N - Posted on 24 August 2024
My purpose is to put in writing the excellent experience i had on Monday 5th August from members of the staff in Fern House Surgery. As a result of an accident at home I sustained a very nasty gash on my right arm which needed immediate attention. My husband took me to Fern House Surgery where I received prompt attention from the receptionist followed by immediate attention by Nurse who repaired the 'damaged' skin with medical adhesive strips completing the treatment with a medical dressing. I have since had three more dressing appointments after which it can be clearly seen what a superb repair job has been achieved. The service I received was fast and caringly administered. I could not have received better. I have one further dressing appointment but it is already evident that with the speed and skill given my wound has healed exceptionally well.

Review titled Dr Mayet
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs Linda Wappler - Posted on 06 May 2023
After a prolonged flare up with Rheumatoid Arthritis I had an appointment with Dr Mayet his knowledge on the subject and also his understanding of the symptoms is second to none . After starting the drugs he prescribed I feel I have been given a new lease of life. My children and grandchildren think is amazing that I am now much more mobile and thankfully pain free. My heartfelt thanks to you for all your help and support .

Review titled A dated practice in a dated building
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mr Alan Polley - Posted on 05 December 2022
Joined this practice 3 months ago first impression was I had gone back to the 1950s everything about fern house is stuck in a time warp the facilities are run down dirty and dated uneven flooring covered in scruffed lino no dedicated waiting room access is restrictive for the less able the list could go on, the services provided are limited for instance no facility to do on site bloods surely a given in the 21st century, the pharmacy does not appear to run the same software as the GPs reception so patients have to shuttle between the two relaying sometimes complicated medical information with resultant errors occuring, GPs seem to be patient adverse in one consult the GP at no time faced the patient and spent the whole time avoiding eye contact and made an asset of being offhand, finally the receptionists bring a whole new level to the art of obstruction, curt, dismissive, put upon the appointment system is designed to offer the longest possible wait time without actually breaking government guidelines the whole operation needs bulldozing and consigned to the past where it belongs why on earth a town the size of Witham has to rely on such facilities is a disgrace to the town/district/ county council's members who should be beating down the doors of the Dept, of Health newcomers to the town should be stopped from signing on and existing patients as they leave not replaced so that it does what some of its patients no doubt will do and die a death do not sign on it's a dreadful place
