Review titled Outstanding Receptionists /Telephone Staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sven Robsson - Posted on 19 July 2024
This morning at 0810 I went into the practice to make a telephone appointment where the receptionist was polite, pleasant and efficient. All of the above are consistently polite,pleasant,courteous,helpful and efficient. This has been my experience over the past 3 years. It is a sad reflection of modern society that some patients are impolite, discourteous and often rude and abusive to them. In the modern world being such is commonplace and there is never any excuse especially when staff are there to help. Many years ago medical receptionists were notorious for being very difficult but this is certainly not so here. Hillside Practice staff are exemplary and should be recognised as such. As regards the GPs, I've just had a good telephone appointment with one of them who was very efficient, listened and understood my symptoms and was patient,kind, caring and reassuring. I respect everybody 💯.

Review titled Absolutley shocking
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Charlie - Posted on 09 April 2024
Went in about janurary with a prescription to put in from James Cook Hospital went to get a repeat of it today and they have given me absolutley nothing on from the new perscription this is shocking as i am diabetic and need this to live. It takes too long to even get through to the reception and when you do get through your more likely to get cut off than get to anyone to complain

Review titled E Consult
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 April 2024
In the hope of resolving my issue before the weekend, I submitted an e consult request at 07:23 Thursday morning. I received an email reply late on Thursday afternoon saying I would get a response by 18:30 Friday. Today, Friday I have waited and waited. I received no response by 18:30 on the a mere 35 hours after the request. No courtesy call, no response at all other than the confirmation. The practice closed at 18:00. How poor a service can they provide? A very poor one by my experience. It more than matches their daily 8 am phone debacle. I have tried to do this the practices preferred way, as they certainly give the impression that they don’t want patients in the surgery unless absolutely necessary, and the service received from them is far from satisfactory. Desultory is a fitting word for Hillside Practice, amateur another. What do you have to do to get a satisfactory experience from this practice?

From reception to nursing staff and gps I have been a patient along with my parents and son for over 50 years In the last 2 years a lot of the amazing staff have retired and moved on However they have been replaced by a new team of even more amazing staff including nurses and gps When calling the receptionist they are extremely helpful along with the prescription line and surgery pharmacy This is such a pleasure to be helped by such fantastic caring people A credit to their professions

Review titled Awful surgery
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by martin fraser - Posted on 01 March 2023
I am presently in the process of changing to another Doctors surgery as l find the service offered at Hillside inadequate, getting an appointment is near impossible, getting past the receptionist is a battle on its own. l used the E consultant system as l was having severe pain in my right leg from my knee to the top of my thigh, l got a reply saying a Clinician would be in touch by the end of day on the 6th of March l put this this request in on the 22nd of February, l used 111 on line service who advised me to contact my Doctor, l spoke to my local Pharmacist who advised me to contact my doctor to check that it was not a blood clot alas l have to wait nearly two weeks for a reply. l look forward to your reply to my review
