Went to the surgery worried that an ugly patch on my head was skin cancer and in the end saw three GPs - such was their determination to establish what it was. Eventually reassured it was unlikely to be that serious, but GP specialising in minor surgery took it off anyway and sent for tests. All done within 90 minutes. Top service.

I received a letter from the surgery stating that i had not attended an appointment with my GP.even though 2 weeks prior to my December appointment my husband cancelled it and rearranged another date and time,he had even recorded the call,luckily so we had proof.spoke to receptionists and they apologised but said they couldn't remove (did not attend ) from my record??seeing as i was sent a letter,you would think i would recieve an apology the same way???The receptionists are always super rude too!!!

This surgery is brilliant. I have been with them for 6 years and they have always been great. I have two young children, therefore visiting fairly regularly. All the staff and doctors are professional, informative and friendly. I cannot think of anything bad to say to make this review seem a bit more balanced !

Dear Anonymous,Thank you very much for your kind words regarding the practice. We are happy to hear that you are pleased with the service and treatment you receive at the surgery. I look forward to sharing your comments with the team.Mark LittlePractice Manager
I had an issue last week and phoned the reception . I gave a brief description of what my immediate concerns were. The receptionist was professional courteous and understanding. I was told to keep my phone nearby and await a call from a doctor. I was called within 20 minutes and had an appointment within 2 hours. I was dealt with above and beyond what we generally hear about doctors surgeries. Thank you Lodge surgery it’s comforting to know that there is such a professional and positive surgery on my doorstep.

Dear Stuart,Thank you for your kind comments which I look forward to sharing with the team. Mark LittlePractice Manager
My family have been patients here for many years and would never dream of leaving. Over the years the surgery have helped us through some difficult times and some momentous times on the arrival of our now teenagers. The staff are always polite and professional . We’ve been patients so long that our original Doctors have retired and I have them to thank for the arrival of my long awaited children as this was a long and difficult process. The newer Doctors are all very good and still providing the same great service in what at times can’t be an easy job.

Due to a recent stay in hospital, I was sent in again to another hospital via ambulance for the same issue. I was sent home with the advice to immediately see my gp the next day, and have a blood test. When I rang I immediately got through to reception, to have a phone call from triage. The triage nurse rang me, she was very rude and would not listen to me. Surely the patient comes first? I work at a hospital and know this should be the case! All she cared about was what was written on my notes from ED, not the advice given to me by the doctor. So now I have been told to just take high potassium foods, even though I have to take a specific test that tells me to avoid those foods and just do the tests. Or in her words just get on with it. So now I have no choice but to do this. I do not feel respected by your triage nurse. My mum then rang up who is a nurse at another gp, who asked to speak to the practice manager, but was just transferred to the triage nurse. Once again she would not listen to my mum. So now I have no advice as to regards to work and a test that may not give me an accurate result!

We apologise that you feel this way, thank you for your feedback.Your phone call on Monday was dealt with, as per all our urgent on the day requests, and you were contacted within 40 minutes of your initial call. The records show that our nurse spent 36 minutes on the calls to both you and your Mother. The hospital discharge summary contained instructions for us to act upon from the full clinical examination that you had the day before in A&E, if you were given different verbal advice by the Dr in A&E, this was not recorded in the discharge summary written.A blood test was arranged for you, one week later in an appropriate time frame. The nurse issued medication to ease some of your symptoms having listened fully to you. It was noted one of the tests that you were asked to do by the hospital had not yet been done and therefore the nurse suggested that it would be prudent to do this ASAP, in order to allay some of your anxiety and obtain the results.Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us again via the surgery.Mark LittlePractice Manager
Myself and my wife have been patients at the Lodge Surgery for many years. We have always found the GPs to be very kind and considerate and they have always shown a genuine interest. Due to recent health issues, I have had to attend the surgery quite frequently and the receptionists have got to know me quite well. They are all very friendly and are a credit to the surgery. Thanks again for all your support.

Thank you so much to all the staff at the Lodge surgery. I have recently had to visit on numerous occasions with my daughter. We have seen nearly all of the gps working there the phleboyomist and the nurse. We have found them all to be extremely caring and helpful. As a smaller practice it feels more personal and has a family feel to it, which made us feel welcomed and at ease. The receptionist have always been polite, friendly and kind.I couldn't fault this surgery in anyway and am really happy that my family are patients there.

More than once we have been belittled and humiliated by the rude receptionists at this practice. They have no idea about confidentiality and assume it is their right to know about your condition. They give the practice a bad name.

I called the surgery for an emergency appointment and was spoken to by receptionist. Wow be alarmed how incredibly rude and unprofessional this person was. Not a credit to such a brilliant surgery. Such a shame as Lodge on all really is very professional but myself and others in the waiting room have found this receptionist to be incredibly rude, short tempered, impatient and snappy.
