Review titled Impossible
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 April 2024
I cannot get a face to face appointment to see a doctor, not even when giving plenty of notice. The Practice online system is still not issuing face to face appointments since the Covid crisis stating - "Due to the evolving situation with coronavirus we have switched all online appointments from face to face consultations to telephone consultations. This has been seen by NHS England as one way of managing the infection risk of coronavirus" Not good enough now that the crisis is under control. An early phone call to the surgery only results in a same day telephone consultation, which is not effective in my case where a joint mobility assessment is required. A telephone receiver cannot feel resistance! My recent visit to the surgery to request a face to face consultation with a DOCTOr resulted in being granted an appointment over 4 weeks later, which I happily accepted as it was for a non life threatening condition. However, when I checked my appointment details via online records today, I find that the appointment is with a CLINICIAn not a DOCTOr, as requested. I know that Clinicians can make certain decisions but I specifically asked to see a Doctor and was not informed that it was for a Clinician. I feel duped. This service is just not good enough.

Review titled Staff great . Phone System needs upgrading
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Elfan Jones - Posted on 05 November 2023
Being told I was No 34 in the queue is not great. Getting through to speak to somebody is nigh on impossible. The surgery needs either an answer machine and a person to return calls or simply more lines and more staff to man the phones. I tried eighteen times to make an appointment and the line was always engaged.

I've recently joined the practice and have been blown away by the service received, from everybody including nurses and reception. The best surgery I have been to. Very happy I left an underperforming miserable surgery

Review titled Amazing practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anca - Posted on 04 January 2023
I've been with this surgery for almost 3 years now, and i can say i have never had a bad experience. Maybe a few neutral ones, but definitely nothing that can outweigh all the excellent ones. During these 3 years, they've been efficient, caring, and very thorough, even when i myself forget about follow ups, and I've seen them for quite a few different issues. The staff is always nice and cheerful. Thank you
