Review titled Great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 July 2024
My teenage son needed to talk to a doctor about various health anxieties following a virus which led to him being treated in hospital and post-viral fatigue. The doctor examined him thoroughly, talked through issues and provided excellent advice which really helped. She is kind, sympathetic, knowledgeable and practical. A superb GP.

Review titled My good experience with a receptionist .
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Moira mcadam - Posted on 25 July 2024
Having rung the surgery at 8 a/m, I was informed that the only available appointment was at an inconvenient time but the receptionist suggested that I ring back later. She actually rang me back saying an appointment had become available for later in the day which I thankfully accepted. I was extremely grateful to the receptionist as I think she realised what pain I was in. It was refreshing to deal with a competent receptionist.

Your kind words will be shared with the receptionist who helped you. It is feedback like yours that motivates us to maintain high standards of care and service.

Review titled Very poor repeat medication system
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 May 2024
For sometime after covid this surgery still had 5 working days lead time to obtain a repeat prescription. It changed to 3 days and then recently they added it may be four days if we are busy. I sent a triage request for it to be signed off as I had run out of meds they replied by text to say the prescription had been sent to the Duty Doctor to be re-authorised. So four days later having checked Patient Access the prescription has still not been signed off by a GP. This is not the first time. What is the point of having hi-tech solution if it takes longer than the pen-and-paper system?

Review titled Very rude receptionist
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Katie - Posted on 15 April 2024
Awful GP , I was 30 min on hold and 36 on a waiting list 12:30 I got through to a receptionist (very rude woman ) starting yelling at me how it’s not her fault that they have no appointments left , when I said I needed an appointment for my kids for today, they need to know how to treat patients properly and make patients feel welcome not anxious after talking to them .

Review titled Terrible Appointment System
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by David Wenzel - Posted on 19 March 2024
Just you try to get an appointment. I used the NHS app (I find this quite good) at spot-on 12o'clock. Wanted a face to face appointment, and several were available so I chose one. Had to enter a reason for the appointment so quickly did this (you have to be quick). The system came back with "appointment not available. Go back and choose a different time". It was now 2 minutes past 12. No appointments left! The system is very poor and extremely frustrating - to allow you to "reserve a time" and then refuse it. I wouldn't mind but it's always like this. It needs re-programming. I will say, though, that in all my dealings with the receptionists and doctors they have been very polite and helpful.

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, the NHS App is not designed by the Surgery, nor do we have any control over the App architecture. We recognise this is an issue however, and suggest in future you need not write much in the appointment reason box so that you can confirm the appointment before the slot is taken by another user. Alternatives are to visit Reception or phone at midday to pre-book routine appointments. To give the most equity to all patients these are released on a first come first served basis. We hope you understand and thank you again for your feedback, Station Road Surgery

I rang the surgery to sort out a problem and the receptionist was really helpful she rang me back with an appointment and an answer to my problem she was super helpful. I have experienced such good service lately from the doctors and the receptionists are really lovely.

Review titled Good service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Robin Ablett - Posted on 06 March 2023
Comprehensive examination including referencesaa to external sources. Well explained reasons for questions and ensured I was fully aware of his methodology as he went through the appointment. Good “bedside manner “ at all times. I felt fully reassured when I left the surgery. A:subsequent appointment on the same medical matter gave me a similar feeling.

The new appointment system has worked very well for me today. The telephone queue moved quickly and I had a telephone consultation two hours later. Very satisfactory.
