Review titled Reception staff extremely rude
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 May 2024
I have never had such a bad attitude from staff that’s meant to be working in a professional job in my life. Haven’t been able to get an appointment and tried a full 4 days, 400+ calls to be told everytime when I finally get through that no you can’t see a doctor. I told them this is a disgrace and I need to be seen and the women on the phone from the moment she answered had nothing but a stinking tone to her voice, telling me that’s not her problem, how my issue was not an emergency and to go to a&e when a&e are saying to go to your doctor not to them? She then told me they have 8,000 patients and basically asking me what do I expect from them, I don’t see how it’s my problem they have to many patients all I was asking for is to see my doctor. By looking at the reviews from Google and here I’m not the first person to have attitude from the reception staff so some serious training would be needed, and maybe to learn how to have empathy. Disgusting.

Review titled A caring practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Susan Masters - Posted on 18 January 2024
I recently attended an appointment with a GP. She listened to everything I said, was caring and considerate and we discussed my options together. I came with one query and went away with advice and treatment for several related matters. I came away feeling reassured and confident in the outcome. I think this practice is excellent and always cares. Thankyou!

Review titled Unproffessional
Rated 2 stars out of 5

The receptionist nag and ask why you need an appointment they they decide if they will forward you? This is frustrating when I have a right to medical confidentiality.Also one receptionist has a bad attitude stating 'not my problem' when I asked were will sign my newborn if the gp won't. Very rude and unhelpful after I waited in a 45 minute telephone queue.

Dear patient, I am sorry to hear about your frustrations. The reception team do ask for some information to allow them to direct you to the right clinician in the appropriate timeframe. I will pass your feedback to the reception team and if you wish to discuss further, please feel free to ring the practice.

by Marjorie Schofield - Posted on 25 January 2023
It took me 4wk for an appointment. Followed by 4 day wait for bloods. Rang back for results and new appointment Told by reception that results back and need follow up, by telephone .ok Further 2 wk for a phone call. Asked why so long for a call. She said it’s none urgent. I asked how would she know that is she a doctor. No Do these receptionist see your results are they qualified to give their opinion on results No Sort your staff out.

Review titled Absolutely Brilliant Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I've had 2 chest infections within a few months. On both occasions phoned surgery and given face to face appointments within a couple of hours. Very thorough examination and diagnosis and an appointment made for a chest X-ray. Medication prescribed that worked wonders. Very friendly, professional service. Thankyou so much, I consider myself fortunate to be registered with you.
