Review titled No hope of improvement to this service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 March 2023
The service delivered by this practice is worsening. The hardest part is actually getting an appointment. I've been registered with them for a few years now, and can definitely see its gotten worse. They are rated "Good", which Id disagree with. After waiting nearly 4 weeks for a telephone appointment with a nurse, I got a text message saying my appointment was cancelled due to strikes and rescheduled for 3 weeks from now. This was delivered on the day of the appointment, which Id kept free to be able to answer the phone. Why not inform me sooner? Made sure I was by the phone after being threatened by the practice by text, quote "The GP will call you on 13.3.23 in the morning. They will try twice. Failure to answer will be dealt with as 'Did not attend'". So Ill have had to wait 6 weeks for this phone appointment. Its like these obstacles have been put in place to discourage patients from bothering. When phoning the practice you get a long drawn out answerphone message discouraging you from proceeding with the call and trying to force you to use the website. Get through this and you've then to wait in a queue. The website has no facility to complain about the service. How would I cope it I were elderly with no internet access? I feel sorry for the staff on the reception desk, they must get non-stop complaints and threats from angry and frustrated patients desperate for some kind of 1st world service. There's a lot of talk about mental health these days, this has affected mine and must be affecting many others. I don't have any hope that things will improve either.

Review titled Excellent Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs Christine Grasso - Posted on 23 February 2023
My husband and I decided to change doctors and move to 3 Villages Medical Practice 2 weeks ago. This was done so smoothly without any problems, we were so welcomed into the new practice. I could not believe how quickly I was given my first appointments today. It was so lovely to be greeted with a smile from the helpful receptionist and the doctor and diabetic nurse were so helpful and reassuring. We cannot praise this excellent practice enough. The NHS at its very best . Thank you.

Review titled Very efficient
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by John T - Posted on 08 February 2023
Joined here a few days ago as I could not get an appointment at Lion Health Centre despite 3 weeks of trying. Very easy to apply, sent in the online form for an appointment ( very easy) and they phoned me back within a few minutes. Friendly staff, all good. This is how a GP practice should be run.

Review titled Terrible
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 October 2023
Still not receiving follow up care or call backs from doctors as promised. Impossible to get an appointment even when I receive a text to say book the appointment as soon as possible. Incorrect medication. Brushed off without follow up. Can't get onto the website to book repeat prescription. Never seen the same doctor more than once. Sent to a pain clinic only to be asked "why are you here". No tests done just told to go back to the doctor. Very poor service in every way. I've had enough, I will now find a different way to resolve my situation as those who are supposed to provide care have failed.

Review titled Excellent GP surgery. Efficient messaging system.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kieran Walker - Posted on 30 November 2022
I have been a patient of Three Villages and have used their services multiple times for myself and my two young children. The surgery has always been attentive and reactive to my requirements and I have always left feeling valued and that my issue has or is going to be addressed. I particularly think the online messaging system is very efficient, I have never had to wait longer than a few hours and it’s always been an appropriate response, whether that be a reciprocated message, a phone call or a scheduled appointment. What I particularly like about the messaging system is that you don’t have to have a protracted and as a result, frustrating wait on the phone trying to get through. Send the message and then get on with your day and wait for the reply. The email receipt of your sent message is also useful as it reassures you that it has been sent and received. This surgery should be an example to others in a challenging time for the health service. Thank you.
