Review titled Whole team work
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Tim - Posted on 12 October 2024
I was unwell and worried last week. I had timely, kind, safe, and thoughtful care from all the team during my 2 part visit to this lovely practice. 2 excellent nurse practitioners, all necessary (blood test, xr, ultrasound, scan) tests on site, appropriate onward referal. I was the senior partner in a large Kent general practice, with some experience of how difficult it is to do things well, we never did it as well as you do, I don't know anywhere else who does. And I was able to cut down significantly my subsequent A+E time. Well done. Thank you.

Review titled First Class Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Barry Lockley - Posted on 19 October 2024
We have used Whitstable Medical Practice a number of times in the past 2 years. My wife who is 75 had a bad fall and caused considerable damage to her face and hand We attended Estuary View on the 4th October. As alway they couldn’t have been more helpful and caring. We were seen quickly and my wife was Triaged, seen by the nurse and initially cleaned up and given temporary dressings, then X rayed and finally 2 nurses did a fantastic job comforting her and attending to he wounds. I have nothing but unstinted praise for the treatment she was given. It must also be said the ladies on Reception could also not have been more helpful. Thank you to all at Estuary View.

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.
