Review titled Asthma Review
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Laurence Freeman - Posted on 05 June 2023
Appointment made and on time. Advice given and follow up to be arranged. Computer system may need sorting as 5 days later requested to make an appointment as "I hadn't been reviewed in the last two years".

Dear Laurence Freeman, Thank you for your feedback. You're spot on about our computer system. It appears that an automated reminder text was sent erroneously for your annual asthma review. Underscores computers make errors too and cannot replace the checking behaviours of humans! We are looking into our computer recall system to avoid unnecessary duplication of work and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. With kindest regards from the Penshurst Management Team.

Review titled Supportive and Caring Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lynda Lampert - Posted on 13 December 2022
I felt I must leave a review of my experience today which was very positive. I found the person I had an appointment with exceptionally supportive and genuinely caring. They listened to me and gave me time to speak about my situation as a carer to my husband. They suggested counselling and it is something I will think about. They told me that the surgery is there for me if I ever need. When I left the surgery I actually felt ‘lighter’ and realised how it helped me ‘off-loading’ to someone. I have a large family and big circle of friends, but after 6 years of being a carer I feel I don’t want to ‘burden’ them anymore with how I’m feeling… they also have to deal with their own feelings of ‘loosing’ a father, brother, uncle, friend. Thank you to the person I saw at the surgery today… I felt not so alone.

Really helpful reception staff. The doctors are great but it’s frequently the receptionists who manage to facilitate requests and necessary contact with clinicians.

I phoned this morning Witt a health worry, I was called back the doctor this morning who has instantly recommended and instigated further treatment. I forgot to ask the doctor a question and straight away called there surgery back and very kindly the doctors receptionist asked her the question and then called me back to give me her answer. I couldn’t have asked for more efficient or nicer treatment.
