Went recently for a routine check up Nurse was very helpful and friendly. The results of the blood tests were easily viewed on the NHS app. Very easy to use.

Review titled unprofessional staffs and service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 February 2025
I’m deeply concerned about the quality of care I’ve received at this practice. Despite being referred by my pharmacist, my requests for support regarding my deteriorating medical condition have been ignored. Additionally, I encountered dismissive and judgmental behavior from a receptionist during my recent visit. She seemed to form an opinion about me based on my appearance before I even had a chance to speak, making me feel uncomfortable and disrespected. As a paying patient contributing to the NHS, I expect to be treated with dignity and professionalism. Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of these expectations.

The service I received was outstanding!! The doctor that treated me was very thorough and very pleasant. I have received follow-up phone calls to check my progress.

Review titled Rude, Unhelpful, and Lacking Empathy Locum DR
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 September 2024
I recently had an appointment with Locum doctor at Castle Medical Practice , and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. From the start, I felt uncomfortable and disrespected by the doctor’s attitude. Rather than showing empathy or listening carefully to my concerns, the GP was dismissive and rushed through the appointment, barely giving me five minutes of time. I wasn’t given the opportunity to fully explain my problem, which left me feeling unheard and frustrated. It's important to feel that a doctor is taking your concerns seriously, but that was not the case here. The lack of respect and understanding in this interaction made me feel like I was just another number, rather than a patient in need of help. I believe that medical professionals should prioritize listening and empathy, and unfortunately, this appointment did not meet those standards!

Review titled Blood Test
Rated 1 star out of 5

I had a blood test nearly 3 weeks ago Several times I rang speaking to various receptionist’s each time I was told the results were unavailable and to wait Now I find out speaking to another person these results can be held in a ‘HUB’ and have to be downloaded Why why why are all of the staff not aware of this and yes I was asked where samples where taken

Review titled Becoming increasingly difficult to access
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 April 2024
Rapidly becoming unfit for purpose. Appointments have always been difficult, although the waiting room is generally empty. It seems to be a part-time practice despite the advertised hours. They've now introduced a web-only appointments procedure with a 2-day response time and then a further wait for treatment. But the web site is refusing to take any requests saying it's reached its daily limit. The result is making it virtually impossible for patients to access treatment in a timely manner - presumably hoping they go to A&E instead. There needs to be a fast-track process for patients to seek registration with a competent practices in the area - but they all seem to not be taking patients currently.

Review titled Appointment Nonsense
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 April 2024
After spending ages in a queue for an appointment, I was then told to call at 8 am to make an appointment ( why I am speaking to someone now?) Why are practices allowed to get away with this poor quality service? This system makes no strategic sense whatsoever. Someone calls, speaks to a human being and an appointment is written in the diary, why make it so hard?
