  1. Review titled Reassuring & Professional

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Mr Gire - Posted on 14 September 2024

    I recently had to visit Shifa surgery for various health issues. My concerns were dealt with reassurance, empathy, compassion and most importantly professionalism. I was able to leave the surgery with a positive experience and outlook.

  2. Review titled Disappointing with the behaviour of the reception staff

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 03 November 2023

    I am extremely appalled to see such mean behaviour of the reception staff towards a patient who could be suffering from a serious illness. I beleive you should be showing compassion and at least have a listening ear for the patient who come to the reception because everyone comes to the doctor when in a dier need. I must say the reception staff should be trained to listen to the patients and help them at all times. I hope you would take action against this. Thanks

  3. Review titled Negative turned into a positive

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 15 November 2023

    Had an issue with getting a follow up appointment, spoke to manager who said she was going to do an audit and put some actions in place. Next time i visited the GP booked my follow-up without any questions asked so looks like thing worked after the actions put in place by the manager.

    Excellent service from the receptionist who took my call - very reassuring and rang back to update me, booked me an appointment for the following morning. The GP was very thorough and discussed my symptoms with me. Gave me time and respect

  5. Review titled Absolutely terrible

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 06 March 2023

    Changes medication dosage on repeat prescription with no consultation, no examination and no medication review with the patient. Hospital letters all state the dosage the patient should be having. No face to face appointments and a ridiculous wait for a phone back. Avoid!
