Review titled Always a positive experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 December 2023
I have been a patient at Everest House Surgery for approximately five years now and really can’t speak highly enough of the service that we receive as a family. There has been many changes over the last few years due to Covid, but the changes that have been implemented have been very positive in my opinion. I have never struggled to get an appointment for myself or young children which is a real credit considering the pressure the services are currently under. I called 111 last night, had a call from the surgery at 8:15 this morning asking me to come in for an 8:30 appointment. I saw one of the paramedics who were extremely thorough and really took the time to explain what was going on. So great service all round, thank you!

Review titled Recent Consultation
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Steven Packer - Posted on 06 December 2023
The GP explained my blood test results in a clear and concise way. The GP made recommendations that made total sense and for the benefit of my future health and well-being. I was provided with the reassurance that my condition would be reviewed in six months time and came away feeling that my GP genuine had my health interests at the top of his mind.

The receptionist was polite and very helpful. My Doctor didn’t rush my appointment and was very thorough. She arranged all my tests and follow up appointments.

Review titled Excellent practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by John Baldwin - Posted on 10 November 2023
On 6th November I requested an urgent appointment and this was arranged for the same morning. I was seen by a doctor who advised me to attend A & E at Watford which I did. There I was seen and treated very efficiently and discharged. The doctor I had seen earlier phoned me the following day to ask about the result. Altogether a very efficient and caring result by Everest House Surgery.

Review titled Lovely experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Loulou Carr - Posted on 15 November 2023
I had a smear today (15th Nov 23) with one of your nurses at 17:10 and she was sooo lovely, really calmed my nerves, very calm and my smear was so comfortable and quick and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to her. I have had two children and still very nervous having these things but she was amazing. Thank you for making peoples horror stories not one for me to tell, I would recommend her 100x over. Sorry I can’t remember her name but I believe her name began with a C if that helps to pass on the feedback and I’m sure she was the only nurse working that evening doing smears. Thanks loulou

Dear Loulou Thank you for your feedback. We have shared your feedback with the nurse in question and thank you for sharing details of your experience. We recognise that appointments for smear tests are a source of anxiety for a number of our patients and our nurses work hard to make the appointment as comfortable as possible. Kind regards Lisa Flaherty Practice Manager

Review titled Fantastic service and empathy
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Molly - Posted on 09 November 2023
I cannot fault the surgery at all... I am currently quite unwell and going through testing / treatment. The doctors surgery have been able to get me seen in person by 2 doctors and a paramedic within hours. I was constantly put as ease and guided through the whole process. At a really scary time, I am so thankful to be part of such a caring and hard working doctors surgery. From the wonderful reception team, to the call handlers, to the funniest paramedic I have ever spoken to and the doctors you all are an absolute gift and I couldn't be more thankful. I would highly recommend Everest house to anyone!

Review titled One mistake after another
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 14 November 2023
I used to have no issues with Everest house. However, since the pandemic, things have just gone downhill. Firstly I had an appointment with one Dr because I suspected I had a certain issue, just for him to tell me there's no issue and what's wrong is normal for me. I wasn't happy with this and saw a different Dr for a second opinion and turns out the first Dr was wrong and I did indeed have the issue I thought I did. Not impressed, but I just brushed it off as one of those things. Fast forward a bit later in the year to more recent months and I was meant to be referred somewhere for a different issue, the referral was never done. I chased it up, it still wasn't done. I tried to chase it up a third time and it still was not done. Instead I was sent a text and asked to book in for another appointment to discuss my issues. I followed the link in the text to book the appointment. In the mean time I had an appointment with someone else for something different and they noticed I had a future appointment booked in with them that should not have been there. Turns out the appointment I thought was being booked via the text link had been put on with the wrong person. I ring up to correct it and the surgery is closed for training until late in the day. So I ring back when training is done and ask to sort the appointment out only to be told they can't book anything and to call back the following day. How is any of this good service? It's just one mistake after another. I know the NHS is being put under a lot of strain at the moment, and Doctor's are under a fair bit of pressure because of it, but this doesn't excuse one mistake after another being made. With the way things have been, I couldn't recommend Everest House to anybody. I'm just hoping things improve in the future.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm really sorry to read of your experience and would be keen that we learn from this, particularly as it sounds like errors that are preventable and unnecessary. If you would contact myself directly and let me have your details it would allow me to look into this. Kind regards Lisa Flaherty Practice Manager

The person at reception was friendly, informative and apologetic when she realised someone had gone through before us. She made us feel welcome and heard which is so important when feeling vulnerable. Lovely lady
