Review titled They never picked up my calls
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 May 2024
Every time I phone this medical practice they never pick up the phone. Today I just had another experience with them that left me feeling unheard. Despite multiple attempts to reach out, my calls went unanswered. I also tried to book an appointment online, but it didn't work.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. If you could contact the Duty Manager on the usual phone number we would very much like to discuss this further with you. There has not been a telephone call queue today and the online forms have been switched on and coming through so we would like to discuss why this might not be working for you and what we can do to help. Kind Regards Emma Batchelor Practice Manager

Review titled Appointments
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 29 November 2022
When an appointment is made on surgery messenger . I noted the time and date on my calendar . The time was 8.45 I then received a text message the day before my appointment to say my appointment was 8.54. I then had to waste Time phoning the surgery to check the correct Time to be told. Yes we do send a text with a more accurate time . Why not say the " accurate " time on messenger when the appointment is made !!!!

Review titled Fantastic GP
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Saw one of the GP's today who was very friendly, polite, professional and approachable (would put her name on here but it says I'm not allowed). A credit to the surgery and the NHS as a whole. Will definitely recommend her

Review titled So pleased I changed to this brilliant GP Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Joy - Posted on 11 July 2022
After having numerous problems getting appointments at my previous GP surgery, a 40 minute wait to have the phone answered when I was number 16 in the queue at 8.30 am on one occasion followed by sending them an online message (told it was quicker to do it that way) detailing my problem and getting a prompt email reply asking me to resubmit my online message or telephone them at 12am on the dot to try for a pm appointment, I transferred to Southgates and the Wootton’s practice. Unlike my old practice Southgates has a very efficient online service. I have had 2 face to face visits with impressive GP’s who actually give a thorough examination of my problems and immediate treatments rather than referring onto the hospital which has a 42 week ENT waiting list before they aim to contact you with an appointment at some point. My new surgery offered a new treatment for that condition which within days had relieved a long term breathing problem. My new surgery has also given me an examination and a cortisone injection into an arthritic joint rather than telephone consultations advising pain killers or pain relief gel. I have also had a diagnostic blood test to determine the type of arthritis in the joint. My quality of life has improved drastically under Southgates Practice and I am very grateful to the amazingly friendly staff from receptionists to nurse and GPs. A GP practice should, as this one is, be run for the best interests of its patients not for the convenience of receptionists and medical staff. I would add the building is lovely, spacious, light and airy unlike My previous practice where, if you are ever lucky enough to be seen in person, you sit in narrow, crowded, corridors.
