Review titled Fantastic practice team
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Maria Gloag - Posted on 18 October 2024
I needed to get my Mum registered with a GP urgently in order for her to be discharged from hospital in Bristol into my care. Despite it being late on a Friday afternoon, the Practice Management and Reception team at Huntingdon Road Surgery went way over and above to make sure she was registered in time. I am so grateful to them for their kindness and professionalism and cannot thank them enough.

Review titled Excellent practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 July 2024
I feel very fortunate to be registered with this practice. I have found it straightforward to get an appointment to see a Doctor when I have needed one and feel reassured by the competent way my symptoms have been assessed and investigations/treatment arranged. The team are, in my opinion, providing an excellent service for which I am very grateful.

Review titled Caring, highly responsive and reliable practice!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Allison - Posted on 20 June 2024
Being affiliated with another practice in Cambridge as an expatriate family of five, I can honestly say that Huntingdon Road Surgery has been the most reliable healthcare provider for our family's medical needs since we joined their practice over a year ago. Their responsiveness, knowledge, and resources are exceptional when it comes to helping us with our family's health needs and I have full confidence in their advice. Recently, I contacted them about a condition I was under care for in our former country. Since it had been more than four years and I had never addressed it with a UK physician since we arrived, I believed I would have to start all over again. However, one of their physicians responded promptly to my request and initiated immediate action on my behalf! This is just one instance of their quick and efficient approach, but it's not unusual for them to address all our concerns with the same fervency. As long as we remain in the Eddington area, we will be proud patients of the Huntingdon Road Surgery and strongly recommend that new families in the area also choose this practice with complete confidence for their family's care. Best wishes and good health to all!

Review titled Feedback
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 March 2024
Appreciate everything the NHS does for us, but wanted to leave some feedback for improvement. My elderly mother had a fall and photos sent across, whereby it looked like a broken wrist. This was established before noon and an X-Ray was to be booked by the GP. By around 4pm, we hadn't heard back, so called and were held in a 30 minute queue. It transpired that there wasn't an urgent notification with the referral, so it hadn't been processed. We were left with the option of going to A&E, which wasn't ideal at that time, as my mum was already feeling tired. We were told about an walk in hospital in Ely, but didn't think we could get there in time. The whole process could have been better with alerts/notifications along the way, or if we were told to call back by a certain time.

Review titled Excellent practise
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by A. Swanson - Posted on 14 July 2023
Had an annual checkup yesterday conducted by a nurse. A ever very professionally conducted and in a very friendly way. A follow up chat with my GP was arranged at my request. That took place the following day and my query was fully explored and I felt very satisfied. I and my family have been patients at this surgery for nearly 40 years. Every GP we have seen in this long time has been superb, I recommend this surgery to anyone.

Review titled Gone downhill
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 August 2023
Used to be extremely proud to be in this practice but lately it has gone beyond recognition. After finally agreeing I needed a doctors appointment (and that was no mean feat !) I was left waiting for them to allocate one for days with no contact finally got one for 3 weeks later only for it to be cancelled the day before. Another has been made for another 3 weeks time . In the mean time I’m left to manage symptoms affecting daily life. No wonder a+e isbso overrun . Waiting 7 weeks to see a gp is shocking

I am very sorry to read about this. I would be grateful if you would contact me directly please so that I can understand exactly what has happened and investigate the timeline; and why your appointment was cancelled, as this is most definitely not a scenario that I would expect our patients to experience. My email is sarah-jane.jarrold@nhs.net I hope to hear from you soon.

Review titled Great practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 June 2023
We transferred our elderly parents to this surgery a couple of years ago and we are so pleased that we did. The service we have received has always been helpful, understanding and courteous. The response to any email is fast and comes with a response from the GP as necessary. The GP's are always willing to make home visits to our parents, which has been invaluable and the District Nurses are involved when the need arises. We are so grateful to everyone involved in this practice.

Review titled Consistent care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Joan Haddock - Posted on 14 April 2023
We have been patients of the surgery for over 30 years. During that time we have never been treated with anything other than courtesy and efficiency - whether it be the receptionists, nursing staff or doctors. We have seen the same doctor in all that time which has enabled us to be confident that he is fully cognisant with our medical history. I am anxious regarding vaccinations but have always been treated with compassion and understanding which has been an enormous help.

Review titled This practice makes perfect!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Paul Jackson - Posted on 19 January 2023
I’ve always claimed that our GP at this practice saved my wife’s life but, my experience is much more recent. Diagnosed with blood cancer in 2020 and having 3 episodes of heart failure in 2022, I have been a drain on the practices finances and time. However, it has never felt like this. In spite of the huge challenge COVID introduced, I have had nothing but outstanding patient care from our GP and ALL the medics, nurses and office staff/reception at 1 Huntingdon Road. We are generally quick to complain but slow to praise so I felt the need to complete this review. Thank you seems a pathetic acknowledgement but it’s all I have to offer. (Apart from the biscuits and chocolate I hope they enjoyed!!) Thank you.

If I go online and book an phone appointment for 8.40am I would have expect the appointment call . No call . Called the surgery 12 in line , when I do eventually get through to ask why I haven’t had my appointment, they said the appointments arent appointments apparently it just means I’m going to get a phone call today , this is not stated in the website any where , it’s not clearly communicated .I’ve arranged to start work late for the appointment that isn’t really an appointment and now I have tell my boss that I have to take a call during work hours after arranging to start late I’m actually quite annoyed with this
