Review titled Exceptional GP Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Paul F - Posted on 09 June 2023
I have been a patient at this practice for many years. The staff are kind and compassionate, they go the extra mile to provide great care, referrals are made promptly and requests dealt with in a timely and efficient manner. I have had a consistently positive experience and when things don't go quite as well as expected, they are rectified quickly. I would strongly recommend this practice.

Review titled Total triage a total disaster if vulnerable
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Long time patient - Posted on 02 July 2023
Nearly every comment on here about good experiences seem to be about simple conditions and / or from those who aren't severely challenged by a GP system now totally delivered through the phone. The practice's response on this site that you can go in and make an appointment with a GP if you can't use a phone certainly is not the experience of myself, my family or friends or neighbours who have tried before this was said and since. It's been a disaster for them. For ourselves and extremely unwell extremely vulnerable patients total triage means totally excluding us and we presume rationing access to GP care is the aim of this scheme because by now the practice knows so many are excluded and the terrible impact . Reception say repeatedly and constantly that every single patient must be telephone triaged and so does the telephone message. There is no way I can get an appointment anymore as they have blocked off all communication channels to me as a disabled person. My elderly dad gave up trying to manage the unmanageable and his health has severely declined. My sister's mental health means she doesn't ever use a phone and she has major physical illness that can't be treated because she is now excluded from appointments. So many others affected. And the knock on ?No NHS access because the GP is the gateway. The NHS is there for everyone, so how is this justified?

Review titled No appointments
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 June 2023
Tried daily for 2 weeks to arrange an appointment to be told each time there were no appointments and to try tomorrow. Condition now worsening and seems to be no concern/regard for patient care.

Rated 1 star out of 5
by Giovanni Eze-Colgate - Posted on 10 May 2023
I’ve had been in physiotherapy for two years, and my knees are getting worse and worse. But a and e won’t help and the gp says because I have a physio there is nothing else do them to do. Walking is becoming harder and harder and all I want is help.

Review titled Refuse to help me with knee pain
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Giovanni Eze-Colgate - Posted on 10 May 2023
I called the practice a number of times over the last two years about knee pain, and it has got to the point where I am struggling to walk because of the pain. I have also been in physiotherapy for most of that time and because of that they refusing to treat me, my condition is getting worse and they will just refer to or ask me questions about what my physio is saying. My physio things I may have a cartilage issue, inflammation issues. But the doctors won’t even refer to the pain clinic when every step I take hurts. I can’t live my life on painkillers and depressed because I’m always in pain. All I want is help.
