Review titled Exceptional in all areas.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Asma Adam - Posted on 08 March 2023
It felt like I attended a new surgery which was catering for private patients. There are no words to describe the huge turnaround from the previous staff. The new team inc the GP were welcoming and enthusiastic. It was clear they wanted to help and felt like I was special to them. My father was down and concerned about his health. However, upon leaving he was reassured and his mood had changed. This was down to the GP being so positive and supportive. I can not recommend this practice anymore. Absolutely amazing. Thank you to the whole team.

Review titled Finally a system that works
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 March 2023
Previously I always struggled to get an appointment with the doctor, the system they had in place just wasn't working for me, since the new appointment system my children are seen faster than before, without the need to be frustrated with the surgery staff for no appointments available and being told to try again the next day, the delay in them answering the phone to start with. The new system allows you to hang up but still remain in the queue and the member of staff calls you back when your 1st in the queue.

Review titled Vaccine sorting for pilgrimage to Saudi

by Faru - Posted on 29 June 2023
Excellent advice on which vaccines were required and also how to get certificate, which I had lost for a vaccination which was still valid. Great peace of mind before stressful travel.

Review titled Finally A Positive Memorable Experience
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 March 2023
Where can I start!! After over 30 years with the same practice I finally had a very good positive experience from start to finish. Yes okay I may have had to hold for over 15-20 minutes before speaking to a receptionist but to actually hear an apology instantly made the hold time worth it, given the weather at the moment and every other person being ill I wasn't surprised for having to hold for a certain length of time but if the person answering your call was as nice as my experience on this occasion then it would be worth the hold time. Not to say improvements can't be made to the hold time because no doubt there is room for improvement but the gradual changes I've seen so far are positive and long may it continue. I really like the introduction of the callback service for a doctors appointment when you call in the morning but that option wasn't available this morning (and I've only rang once before in the last few months when I came across this service), not sure if the callback service was a trial or is used on certain days when the inbound call capacity allows it to be active.. But I definitely think it's a positive rather than having to hold and not being able to get on with your day. Moving onto the face to face experience, no complaints to be honest and was directed the right way to wait for the doctor after having waited a minute to be acknowledged by a receptionist. The only feedback I would have is that the reception itself isn't inviting at all when you walk into the GP Practice, specially when that's the first thing you see when walking in. The very small opening doesn't always help the workers behind realise someone has walked into the reception specially when they're all sat down busy working and your not the tallest of people. I remember the old reception when there was a lot more room in the practice and that was much more inviting, not trying to say the reception needs to be bigger but could do with it being more inviting and welcoming for sure, there was been occasions where the queue of patients have ended up lining outside so a bit more space for patients walking in wouldn't go amiss. Maybe a change to consider in the near future along with the positives changes going on at the practice. The doctor was very thorough in the support they provided, to actually have a doctor who took the time out to go to length to explain things in detail and help me gain a better understanding of my diagnosis was a good experience, you'd think reading this it's a doctors job to do this but if I'm being as honest as I am then I have to say not all the doctors I've seen at this practice have been as helpful as who I saw today. There's always been a lack of consistency with the Actual doctors working at the practice which has always dampened my experiences in the past but I hope this is a change the practice consider and overcome in the future Not so sure about Recommend to Friends and Family, need to see a lot more consistency first

Review titled Massive improvement in over 20 years being with surgery
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 March 2023
Am so amazed at the improvement I felt like I called a new surgery. For them to call back instead of having us to wait in queue that would last hour or so and sometimes just cut off after holding on for so long. Wow great service well done and the Dr so lovely and polite so understanding kept it up the whole team thankyou so much we needed this
