Review titled Sent to an out of hours that was closed
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 January 2025
Receptionist told me only appointment for me 9 year old was in 10 mins at 4.15 which we couldn’t get to living further away. She said he needs to be seen go to eye hospital in Bournemouth it’s open 24 hours. I stopped the car on the way it shuts at 5pm so wouldn’t make it. Phoned the surgery back to be told no appointments today and either phone 111 (I asked where the clinics were she said google it) or go to A and E with conjunctivitis. I said this wasn’t a good use of the NhS as it wasn’t an emergency. She said there’s nothing more to suggest so an app was booked for the following day. I went to my local pharmacy who gave us drops which have hugely helped. Being told contradictory information is a reoccurring theme with Walford Mill. So going with your own gut and knowledge will save you a lot of time and frustration.

Good Afternoon, I am sorry to hear you were recently signposted to a service that was closed and that you were not directed to a pharmacy first. We have a care navigation protocol which should have ensured your daughter was directed to a pharmacy first. Please could you email us via walford.mill@nhs.net with the date and time of the call to allow us the opportunity to fully investigate your feedback and learn from your experience. Best Wishes Sarah Faulkner Practice Business Manager

Review titled Amazing Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 November 2024
I used to live in Wimborne and was registered with Walford Mill Surgery I am now an out of area patient but the Practice have kindly allowed me to stay registered with them. I wished to remain with them because of the very high standards of care and attention shown by all the staff. I wish that all practices across Dorset were in a position to provide the same very high standards.

Review titled Brilliant surgery - highly recommended
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 October 2024
I would just like to thank the surgery. The reception staff are all extremely helpful, kind and courteous. I care for an elderly relative and am often in and out of the surgery in person and also frequently contact them on the telephone. I highly recommend the doctors at the practice. They are extremely helpful and provide a professional and caring service. I recently attended having worried about a lump under my arm for a little while but left feeling reassured and like I had had a weight lifted.

Review titled Wonderful Staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jane Small - Posted on 18 June 2024
My husband and I, together with a very elderly parent have recently moved to Wimborne. We are extremely pleased with the service of all staff, particularly the reception staff who have a very difficult job. The lady on duty,morning 17th June, was professional and dealt with all our enquiries with efficiency and empathy. Walford Mill doctors surgery is highly recommended.
