Review titled A big thank you
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Morgan - Posted on 11 September 2024
I just wanted to say thank you to Dan for his time this evening. What an absolute gentleman he was; he was the very model of what care is all about - kind, reassuring, understanding, respectful and attentive. I am of course grateful to everyone that I see at Estuary View, you are always brilliant, but tonight, I was just blown away. Bless you Dan.

Review titled A shining example to all GP practices.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Nicholas Cane - Posted on 12 September 2024
My wife had a back problem and called the practice at 10 a.m. An out of normal hours appointment with a doctor was arranged for 7 p.m. The doctor called at 4 p.m. inviting us to come straightaway. Checks were made, advice and a prescription given. What service! But this is the usual experience with this practice. All the medical and administrative staff are very attentive and extremely helpful and any necessary appointments are arranged speedily with the most appropriate professional. How can the WMP seemingly be so different from practices in other areas? We can only think that it must be down to efficient organisation and the willing team-work attitude of all the professionals working within the practice, whatever their role. Surely there would be great merit in practices in other parts of the country following their lead?

Review titled Great service but potential infection issues
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 August 2024
Had a blood test today and received good service from the practice nurse. However, they did not introduce themselves, and when taking the blood, they didn't wash/gel their hands or use gloves, plus they had false nails on.

Review titled The extra mile
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Happy patient - Posted on 07 July 2024
When I said I couldn't find a text which the practice had sent, they took the trouble to phone and suggest I open my 'spam' folder on my phone. I didn't know that I had one! It was there right enough. So were some other missing texts. Thank you WMP for taking the time in your very busy day to contact me. We are extremely lucky to have this facility.

Review titled Excellent care and staff.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Philip Thompson - Posted on 12 July 2024
Recently had a cataract operation at Estuary View. From arrival to leaving each member of admin and nursing staff were professional and maintained high standards of patient communication. The surgeon explained the procedure fully and was reassuring throughout the operation. This medical centre is a credit to the NHS and fully deserves it's outstanding CQC rating. Thank you to all staff.

Review titled Excellent Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Amber - Posted on 22 May 2024
I had an excellent phone triage with one of the Doctors at Estuary View. I felt I was wholly listened to, and was given the time to talk about my health concerns. I was also given meds, and helpful information alongside this. Everything was sorted out so quickly and efficiently!

Review titled Excellent care and compassion
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 April 2024
After experiencing a medical issue in a sensitive area, I was worried about the embarrassment of discussing this. I phoned my surgery in the morning, I received a very prompt call back and was booked in for an appointment later that day. Each person I spoke to was very reassuring and kind, enabling me to feel more at ease. I was very impressed with the care and sensitive way my problem was dealt with, from the initial interaction with the person who answered the telephone, to the doctor who called to do the triage, and especially with the GP that I saw regarding the problem. I highly recommend this practice for the focus on treating people as individuals and the excellent care they provide.
