Review titled Thank you
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Chris K - Posted on 12 April 2024
I had to attend the surgery, I was greeted by an extremely friendly and helpful receptionist. She put me at ease and advised me what she was going to do and what would happen. I am extremely grateful, I know it is not an easy job but credit where credit is due.

Review titled Very Grateful
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Emma Wilding - Posted on 03 January 2024
Unfortunately myself and my daughter both came down with the Flu on 25/12/24. Highcroft saw us both on 27/12/24 first thing after ringing and again spoke with me on 28/12/23 and made a follow up appointment for us both on 02/01/2024. We are so grateful for the kind receptionists and GP’s who have helped us manage and recover from the Flu. Thank you for great service

This doctors surgery is the worst I’ve ever known or heard people talk about, I have been messed around so much the past year!! I wouldn’t recommend anyone joining this surgery, I call to see a doctor I’m told I can have a call with a pharmacist it’s rediculous

Review titled Great Surgery
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I just moved from another practice and the healthcare service I experienced at Highcroft was amazing. Right from reception staff to clinical staff, the professionalism displayed was exemplary. This Surgery is quite technology driven. Surgery has health kiosks near reception for patients to self check blood pressure, weight etc, the appointment self booking links option to choose appointment date and time is so welcome !

Review titled Fit to fly signature from a GP
by meggymoo - Posted on 17 August 2023
I am 27 weeks pregnant, diabetic and due to fly to France in 3 weeks time. I contacted my midwife to obtain a signature for a fit to fly certificate (insurance purposes). They advised me to contact my GP. I contacted the surgery. After 27 attempts the receptionist answered and I explained what I needed. I was told I would need to see the GP. They made me a non urgent appointment. I took unpaid time off work to attend the GP appointment. On arrival at the the receptionist told me that the GP would not sign the document, nor would they see me. I asked if had not felt that a simple phone call to relay this information would have been appropriate. They shrugged and said contact my obstetrician. I said I don't even know who that is. They shrugged again!

Review titled Great Improvement
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I had an appointment yesterday for a persistent ear infection, and I was extremely pleased to get an appointment the same day. The Lady on the phone was really understanding and handled it very professionally. The telephone system has much improved and with shorter waiting times.

Review titled Fabulous people
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Paula Stack - Posted on 26 February 2023
Never had a problem here.Considering the volume of patients they have to help everyday,i think they manage exceptionally well.Everyone is kind.Its easy to forget sometimes that the staff are under alot of pressure.I try very hard to be mindful of that.The doctors and nurses are incredibly good listeners.I worry alot and often need reassurance.I understand that the phonelines are often incredibly busy so i tend to ring them later in the day,which i find much easier.The surgery itself is absolutely lovely.Always warm and very clean.Credit to the cleaning staff for their hard work too.Blood test results in my experience are usually very quick,which is excellent if you worry like i do.

Review titled Some good practice
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Lynda Dyer - Posted on 18 February 2023
I saw a Dr on 2 February and they deserve praise and some positive feedback. The Dr was running behind time, it would seem the surgery had been particularly busy, and there was some very sick patients. Despite this, the Dr took her time to listen to the presenting complaint (which was complex and not a straightforward case), but it never felt rushed. She asked questions and showed empathy whilst also being very professional. She was methodical in explaining her findings clearly and concisely. She informed us of the plan and the reasons for instigating all the tests she had decided to carry out. She was also very thorough in looking through the history of the presenting complaint and picked up on information that had been missed on the previous presentation to another Dr at the practice. She made us feel at ease and also should be commended for her genuine enthusiasm to try and resolve the presenting condition. We felt very reassured and cared for. Her recommendations to the practice were not followed and so she chased this up some days later. Very thorough and all Drs could learn from her.

Review titled I am very pleased
by wezengf84 - Posted on 11 December 2022
I am very pleased with the treatment that I have received at the Ulcer Clinic. The nurses are very professional but kind, considerate and helpful. At last, my leg ulcer is healing, after having had six months of treatment at a practice surgery. At that surgery, I feel that my ulcer was not healing. Just by chance, by having an appointment with another nurse, who happened to mention that there was an ulcer clinic, I was referred here. I wish that I had started coming here months earlier. I feel that my ulcer would have been healed by now. By putting up with months of attending a general practice clinic three times a week, having sometimes very painful dressings, I feel that this has contributed to my high levels of anxiety, for which I am now having treatment.
