Review titled Improved alot this year
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 September 2023
I've always had a bad experience with this surgery and always held up on getting treatment cause I didn't want want the stress of booking and never getting an app. However, this time its was quick to get seen. The phone line is a bit better and let's you know where you are on the call. The receptionist picked up straight away and didn't really dive into asking what's wrong/symptoms, they just offered me an appointment for the same day! It blew me away, felt like I won the GP lottery. Anyway,the doctor wasn't rushing me like they have done in the past. I got a quick referral to Whipps and they emailed me a copy of the letter the same day! That's what I call being efficient. 4 days later the hospital even rang and offered me a same day app. Amazing. Please keep up the good work, what ever your doing is working. Don't let standards drop its the best I've ever known it to be.

I was seen on time by a fabulous Doctor who's name I don't think I'm allowed to mention (which is a shame) but she was fabulous. Thank you to all the staff and the receptionist, I called at 8am and was seen at 10.10am on the same day. Brilliant!

Review titled Good patient care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Annette Hill - Posted on 17 March 2023
I had an appointment with a new Doctor to the practice. She was thorough with her examination and suggested different options for me to pursue. A lovely lady and I hope I will be able to see her again as she made me feel like I didn’t have anything to worry about.

Review titled Very Poor Practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by D Evans - Posted on 21 February 2023
I had a heart attack in June. Still yet to have a general health check. I’m also diabetic so I requested a general health check and a diabetic health check plus I have an another medical issue for which I requested a doctors appointment. When I arrived for my appointment I did not get to see a an actual real life doctor but a woman who took my blood pressure only- this doesn’t qualify as either a general health check or a diabetic check so after being a patient for 8 months I am still yet to see a doctor. I was then told that if I wanted to see a doctor that I would have to make an appointment- I can categorically state that I never come across such an inept and poorly run practice. I am now looking at changing surgeries and would strongly urge others to do so. A really poor service and I use the word service grudgingly.

Review titled Caring, professional and thorough
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Chalene - Posted on 24 January 2023
I called for an appointment for my 2 year old son who had laboured breathing. They fitted me in straight away and our appointment was extremely thorough as they were not happy with his breathing. They sent us to the hospital and called later to check that all was ok. Overall, in spite of long waiting times to get through on the phone, I have always been happy with the service from the receptionists, nurses and doctors, particularly with regard to my children whereby they always go the extra mile.

Review titled Excellent Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Tina - Posted on 11 January 2023
Called at 8.15 for an urgent appointment. Was position 13 in the cue. Choose the call back option. 50 min later the reception lady called and advised the doctor would call me at some point in the morning. I received the call at around 12.30 and was seen face to face 15 min later. I am extremely happy with the level of care and service I have received. Reception and Doctors are very friendly, professional (and funny) and are really going the extra mile.Well done Ridgeway Surgery

Review titled Phone Answer Service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Alan Curran - Posted on 12 January 2023
This afternoon rang to make an appointment. Was told no 5 in queue. 15 minutes later I was no 4 in queue. What is going on? Suggest Care Quality Commission do some cold calling, rather than announced visits.
