Review titled Practice leaves patient waiting for test results
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Dale Mcloughlin - Posted on 21 March 2024
Had tests done last week for Bower cancer and some other stomach tests. Had a text saying i needed to call to speak to the practice about the results. Called and was told the doctor needed to speak to me and would call this afternoon. No call by 17:30 so called to chase and was told would get a call by 18:30. had no call from the doctor. called today to be told ill have to wait until tomorrow. Explained i have anxiety and my dad has had bowel cancer and grandparents both died of bowel cancer. Told still doesn't change things will have to wait. No Empathy and i am being punished because the Dr did not call me - left waiting with pending results that i have been worried about for over a week and now told to wait longer and given attitude by phone when asking for an appoitment for my results. Absolutely awful way to treat people. Asked to complain to be told why would you want to complain what would you complain about and someone would call me but not today

Review titled Much Improved Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mukesh Singadia - Posted on 12 March 2024
I was able to get same day appointment with reception staff polite and knowledgeable. Looked up my record to see latest test results and gave me appointment. Consultation with doctor was excellent, she listened and advised me accordingly. Everything I would expect from a well run GP surgery.

Review titled Worst practice - avoid at all costs!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 February 2024
You can never get through to them, it’s as though they’ve cut the phone line because it doesn’t ever go through. On the rare occasion you get through, the receptionist is not extremely rude and dismissive. They literally make my symptoms worse and give me additional stress. I’ve been trying to book a doctors appointment for the past week and every time, I’ve been refused and just told to go to a&e. The receptionist makes up a new story every time I ring to deliberately avoid giving me a doctors appointment. They don’t know how to treat their patients or how to communicate with people. Further training on how to speak and treat patients is needed. They neglect their patients and deliberately are difficult.

Review titled Not encouraging
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 January 2024
I am not happy with the way the doctor attended to me, without knowing the full story of why I wish to undergo medical treatment she kept saying she’s not sure I will get the treatment which made me felt bad and short of words to use

Review titled Fantastic nurse
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anna Parrott - Posted on 07 November 2023
Had my bloods and ECG today nurse had empathy with me and explained everything very clearly. She took her time and did not bow down to running slightly late and other patients getting impatient. She went above and beyond booking my return dr appointmentment.

Review titled Absolutely terrible
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Nafisa Asmal - Posted on 26 October 2023
Terrible service once again from receptionist staff. Absolutely useless. No help at all. Rang on 17th to order two things. Gave them plenty of time and collected following Monday but only 1 item had been done. Then went to the receptionist who told me she would send me a text msg when it’s ready to collect that evening. . 3 days later and I get nothing. Ring today and nothing was sorted. Start all over again.
