  1. Review titled Practice has gone downhill

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 04 October 2023

    I have been with this practice for over 20 years and have been very satisfied there services, but sad to say it has gone downhill! having no end of problems with repeat prescriptions, long waits on the call back service over 2hrs. being sent a reminder to go and have a repeat chest x-ray after travelling to the hospital pay parking fee get to the x-ray department and being told that the doctor has not sent the request. Not happy.

  2. Review titled Really gone downhill

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 06 November 2023

    I have previously always had a good experience with the surgery but in the last few months it has really gone down hill. I attended for an appointment, checked in and was sitting there for an hour. I know they run late so just assumed they were, I went up to reception and it turns out the doctor I was meant to see wasn't even in today! Surely they would have known that when I checked in! I've been waiting 2 months now for a letter to have a scan. I also put in a request online 2 weeks ago for my son, they asked for a photo of the issue which I sent as soon as I got the text, yet I am still awaiting a response for the doctor! I've been in twice to have my address updated both myself and my husband and it's still set as my old address

  3. Review titled Phone wait times

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by bill rice - Posted on 25 August 2023

    To add to the comments about the phone waiting times there is also an annoying error with the phone message. It states '..or use the call-back service..' However it doesn't explain how this is invoked and there appears to be no info that I could find on the website. A call back would be much less frustrating than being brain-washed with the hold tones for an hour.

    We are sorry for your wait, as per phone message, web message etc we have explained that we have moved to a new clinical system which has resulted in a slower response time as staff get used to the new system.

  5. Review titled Great Practice

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 07 June 2023

    Dr responded within five minutes of the receptionist telling me I was on his list to call after I had requested an urgent appointment. He actually saw me at the surgery within an hour of my original call. He was courteous and explained what was likely to be the problem and what could be done. He did a physical examination in the presence of a chaperone. Medication and a follow up appointment were arranged . I felt the matter was dealt with efficiently and to my satisfaction. I forgot to ask if my message sent through the app two days earlier had been received as I had not had a response . HG
