Review titled Stunning Service and Great Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Karl Vonbuen - Posted on 11 July 2023
I am writing to thank Francis Grove Surgery for the recent treatment I received after an accident to my elbow. After the accident on Sunday morning, I had quite serious broken skin in several places which would not clot because I take blood thinning medication. Because I have a history of cellulitis, I did not want the torn skin to become infected. I got a face-to-face appointment by telephone with a doctor first thing on the following Monday. The doctor immediately referred me to a nurse for an appointment that afternoon to clean and dress the wound. The nurse was very conscientious and solicitous and cleaned and dressed my wound with special skin healing waterproof dressings. The Nurse then made me two further nurse appointments for that week to redress the wound. I then had two further appointments the following week until the wound was healing nicely. The nurse also provided me with a prescription for more dressings and recommended creams to aid healing. All together a very thorough and professional experience which alleviated my anxiety about developing cellulitis and healed the wound. Thank you Francis Grove Surgery.

Review titled Fantastic practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I joined Francis Grove Surgery in February 2023 when I moved to Wimbledon and from the start I was very impressed by the professionalism and excellent service I received. Everyone is so helpful from the receptionists to the GPs, Physiotherapists and nurses. I was in the middle of a treatment for arthritis and the team picked up the issue at once and looked after me wonderfully. The GPs really listened to my concerns and were very quick to refer me for tests when necessary. The Physiotherapist gave me a very effective programme to follow and saw me regularly so I recovered quickly. The health check I had from the nurse was the most thorough I ever had. I cannot recommend this practice enough.

Review titled Poor service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Phil Docherty - Posted on 01 June 2023
Had a phone appointment for “after 5”. Someone called early afternoon. My phone was on silent. I called back, got the automated system. You’re 2nd in queue, then you’re 1st in queue. Then ringing tone. No answer, you’re first in queue, then music. After just over 22 mins hanging on, receptionist confirmed that I had an appointment but was unable to tell me who called but that they were extremely busy. It’s a partners surgery. Employ more people at busy times

Dear Phil, Thank you for your feedback. I believe the GP who did speak to you explained the reason she was trying to call you early. I took your complaint to the practice meeting for discussion with the clinical team. The team reflected on calling outside of the appointment times. It was agreed that the GP should text first to check if a patient is happy to be called early if this happens in future. I am not sure what you mean by it being a Partners surgery, but for clarity, there are 3 GP Partners, 9 salaried GP's as well as 25 other staff employed by the practice. Recruitment into receptionist roles is extraordinarily challenging at present for many reasons, but we do our best to ensure reception has as much cover as possible at the busiest times. I apologise for the inconvenience caused to you. Thanks again for the feedback Lynsey Practice Business Manager
