I help look after my mum who is 93yrs , I find looking after mums happiness easy to do, I know what she needs and what she enjoys, Her physical health can be harder, as unless you're medically trained there can be so many issues in old age, I want mum to stay healthy but had many concerns, I was happy to wait for mum's appointment, she saw a really lovely doctor who listened to my concerns, was absolutely lovely talking to mum. He gave mum a check over, a big thank you for your time, very much appreciated, we'll done thorpewood and the nice doctor.

I just wanted to leave a review for a Nurse Practitioner. Hopefully she will see this review and know it is her I am referring too. I was so anxious about my Cervical Smear appointment today. I just wanted to say thank you for your patience, for making me feel more at ease and for being so kind and understanding!

Review titled An excellent service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Stephen - Posted on 09 November 2023
I hadn't been taking my blood pressure medication for a while and decided to check in. I was seen within a few days, given another prescription and regularly asked back so that my progress could be monitored. This has included blood tests. This has all been very reassuring and is a great service. Thank you.

Review titled Consistently caring and professional
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 October 2023
I've been at this practice since 1989, and through many changes, many good GPs, and the general decline in NHS services, I've had consistently decent and careful treatment here, where my views and needs were nearly always valued ( the odd locum excepted); even when very stretched for staff. I have a long term immune disorder, so I rely on GP and hospital services such as monthly blood tests. Fantastic to have phlebotomy on site. Even during pandemic I was actively contacted if there were any concerns for my health. 1 star down, as phone queues are a pain, but a message sent via online services prompts a relevant response in good time. Repeat prescriptions have been lost in the past, but not recently. Overall, responsive and holistic care.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Feedback like this is always valued and shared with the staff. I am pleased that you have found our service to be of a good standard overall. I do note your comment about the phone system. We are in the process of having a new phone system designed to include call backs whilst holding your position in the queue. I hope this will alleviate some of the current dissatisfaction. Thank you again for your positive review. Kind regards Catriona Dack Acting Practice Manager

Review titled Great Local Practice! Why the negative reviews?
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Richard Fiddament - Posted on 04 October 2023
I’ve been a patient for over 20 years now and have always rated Thorpewood very highly! The staff are always polite and helpful and are always willing to go the extra mile to help. I currently have Achilles tendinitis and the staff went above and beyond to assist me in getting regular face to face appointments with an NHS physiotherapist. These regular appointments have lead to a programme of strengthening exercises/stretches etc which will eventually lead to a full recovery. I would recommend this medical practice to friends and family.

I have been a patient at Thorpewood Medical Group for well over 15 years now. The Covid pandemic affected everyone deeply - from patients and their loved ones to all NHS staff. Lessons on all sides are being learned. After working for the Ambulance service for over 14 years I am more than aware of the pressures involved in working in an ever-stretched and under-funded NHS. Everyone feels it. The Lead Practitioner of Thorpewood has been my GP for a very long time now and has always been a thoroughly decent and good man. He is caring and compassionate, as well as being pragmatic and utterly professional. I've met with other GPs at the practice: for specific conditions, and I believe that all clinicians at Thorpewood would always want to aspire to the ethos embodied in the Lead Practitioner. My experience with the many staff on reception has always been positive. When they are approached with patience, clarity and common courtesy this will be rewarded in kind. Thank you.
