Review titled Swift action
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Chris Shiels - Posted on 08 April 2025
My asthma inhaler was changed from Fostair to Luforbec some time ago presumably for cost effective reasoning. The new spray slightly irritated my respiratory tract but I persisted with it, but over time I found it wasn’t as effective and was constantly slightly breathless and my voice was weak. I decided to ring the surgery to ask if it was possible to change back. The Receptionist was very pleasant and understanding and took the details to investigate. Within a couple of days the Pharmacy contacted me to say my prescription was ready to collect. The Receptionist had passed the information to the GP. and actioned my request very quickly. So pleased as the Fostair had an almost immediate effect to ease my breathlessness. I wanted to say thank you to all concerned and particularly to the Receptionist for her understanding of the situation and swift action.

Over the last few months I have had a lot of contact with the surgery regarding my elderly housenound Mum. I do not live locally and being able to speak to the Surgery on behalf of my Mum is very helpful. Every time I have contacted they have responded very quickly ensuring my Mum has the correct treatment and tests. They always listen to what we need and to my Mum Thank you

Review titled Good service from Tower Healthcare today
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Lynne - Posted on 31 January 2025
I called in to book an NHS Annual Review at Greenmount - the receptionist there was brilliant and found me a cancellation that same afternoon at the Tottington surgery. What a lovely experience from Geraldine the Healthcare Assistant who carried out the review. She was absolutely wonderful, explaining everything as she went along, offering advice on diet etc and actually listening to what I wanted to say. It was so good to have such a positive experience after reading so many negative comments on the local Facebook pages over the past few weeks. Well done Tower and especially well done Geraldine.

Review titled Timely, efficient, robust care and treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sarah Assen - Posted on 09 January 2025
Having been a registrant at Tower Family Practice, and Tottington Surgery prior, I have received nothing but excellent care and treatment throughout. I am always pleasantly surprised by the continued innovation and the broad range of services available within this primary care provider, but moreover the accessibility. A recent example of this was yesterday, I was able to contact the surgery in the morning, speak with a nurse, send a photograph of my tonsils into the surgery and obtain a prescription for antibiotics long before the close of business the same day. This level of responsiveness allowed for timely treatment, supported me not having to attend the surgery and allowed for another patient to have a valuable face to face consultation.

Review titled Amazingly helpful gp
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ruth Taylor - Posted on 17 January 2025
I had an appointment with a gp at Minden medical Centre on Tuesday 14th January. I have an ongoing eye problem, the gp rang Rochdale Infirmary eye ward and got me an appointment for the following morning. I attended the appointment with my daughter. We saw a doctor, with the help from the gp at Minden and and the doctor from the eye ward, I was given an appointment that afternoon to attend Salford Royal Hospital, neurology department. I am finally moving forward.

Review titled Tottington Surgery
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 January 2025
Had a consultation at the Tottington surgery today (07.01.2025) I have to say I have never been made to feel so welcome, so understood, so listened to/validated as I was made to feel today, the visit brought me to tears, in a very good way, as I have previously, at another surgery I may add, been made to feel like a burden/annoyance. The doctor who I saw (who unfortunately the site won’t let me name) was an absolute credit to the surgery I cannot speak highly enough of them.

Consultation with a Nurse, requiring a GP appointment which was arranged in under 2 weeks. Treatment from the GP, was as always, conducted with concern and reassurance. Results of test received the same day.
