  1. Review titled Not encouraging

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 10 January 2024

    I am not happy with the way the doctor attended to me, without knowing the full story of why I wish to undergo medical treatment she kept saying she’s not sure I will get the treatment which made me felt bad and short of words to use

  2. Review titled Fantastic nurse

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anna Parrott - Posted on 07 November 2023

    Had my bloods and ECG today nurse had empathy with me and explained everything very clearly. She took her time and did not bow down to running slightly late and other patients getting impatient. She went above and beyond booking my return dr appointmentment.

  5. Review titled Absolutely terrible

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Nafisa Asmal - Posted on 26 October 2023

    Terrible service once again from receptionist staff. Absolutely useless. No help at all. Rang on 17th to order two things. Gave them plenty of time and collected following Monday but only 1 item had been done. Then went to the receptionist who told me she would send me a text msg when it’s ready to collect that evening. . 3 days later and I get nothing. Ring today and nothing was sorted. Start all over again.

  7. Review titled Gets worse every time

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 18 September 2023

    This practice gets worse every time you contact them. Called for a prescription for asthma emergency inhaler as mine had gone out of date as I was having issues with asthma. Was told to email the request. Days later rang to chase up and no email had been received…… (this happens often yet they receive every time when you do it whilst they are on the phone) was then told I can’t have the medication and would need an appointment which would be in a months time at a different practice as no appointments at that practice. I have had asthma for 30 years and am prescribed my other asthma medication that I need more regular every month. Receptionist didn’t care and the fact you can’t even get an appointment at your own practice is shocking. I had to request for an asthma check up myself to be Able to get an appointment and was told that I shouldn’t have had to have an appointment…. Complete waste of time and I’ve been left with no medication to control my asthma for weeks

  9. Review titled Respect, Thorough Professionalism

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by AK0823 Nurse Appointment - Posted on 08 August 2023

    Appointment for blood sample with Nurse. It does make a tremendous difference when we as patients get a medical diagnosis and treatment by such a brilliant team of specialists. We sometimes take for granted the hard work the staff (and in particular the Nurse Practitioner) put into the care of patients. So Thank You for being here for us with a big smile and amazing support.

  10. Review titled amazing receptionist

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 28 July 2023

    after being fobbed off by a few receptionists that my prescription would be sorted, i finally managed to get through and the receptionist couldn’t be more helpful- promised a call back (on 2 occasions) and i got them- she went above and beyond all the rest and actually followed things up for me and even did a change of prescription when the pharmacy was struggling to get the medication. I have been with the surgery for a number of years and throughout all the changes; i have found the receptionists to be unhelpful and patronising at times. But this particular receptionist was brilliant- thankyou.
