Review titled Excellent podiatry
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Paula Spencer - Posted on 15 June 2024
The podiatrist spent over an hour with me and explained everything thoroughly. I came away with exercises, information and even a range of footwear that would suit my needs. I was very grateful for his time and care.

Review titled Physiotherapy Services for back pain
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 June 2024
I have suffered from a bad back for almost 40 years and it has had a major impact on my life at times. They have a new approach to physio treatment for back pain at the Chestfield Branch of the Whitstable Medical practice. The 4 appointments have been nothing short of revolutionary for me; I am pain free most of the day now with only a little stiffness when I first wake up. I can bend over and lift things up and a range of other things that I would have found difficult in the past. It has changed my life, thank you.

Review titled Wonderful Staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rachel - Posted on 21 June 2024
I have visited Estuary View walk in centre on a number of occasions now with my children. On several of these occasion I have been seen by the wonderful paediatric nurse they have there. One of the most reassuring, kind and compassionate individuals. The time, care and attention she takes is amazing. She freely chats with the children, making them feel comfortable and at ease. Nothing is too much trouble for her and you never feel she is rushing you. On my most recent visit not only was she reassuring to my little boy but me as well and you are never made to feel that you shouldn’t be there. Such a wonderful practitioner who I am so grateful to have at my local surgery. Thank you so much!

Viv C O P D nurse suggested and requested on my behalf a course of a drug ,which has proved to be of great benefit even though my specialist had said that I was on the strongest puffer available and there was noting more to be done. Live with it. She has made life a little easier bless her.

Review titled Urgent care unit is amazing
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Dianne - Posted on 03 April 2024
My husband saw the Dr on Good Friday with excruciating neck/shoulder pain. He mentioned that he’s suffered continuous headaches for 2 yrs and had been told to take paracetamol. The Dr in the urgent care unit was really understanding & attentive. He gave my husband medication for the shoulder pain which he thought was caused by his trapezium muscle & also did a referral for physio. Appt came through quickly & he’s had it this morning - 2 days after the Easter weekend. Bearing in mind it’s been Easter, that’s amazing. The physiotherapist has given him exercises to do & booked a follow up appt. All thanks to the Dr in the urgent care unit. Please pass on our appreciation to both the Dr and Physiotherapist

Review titled Excellent Experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Neil Snee - Posted on 12 April 2024
Over the past couple of months my wife and I had had need to use our Primary care service more than before for a number of differing issues, we always knew how lucky we are in this area but this year's experience has been exemplary. Access, timeliness, expertise, compassion and a great range of HCPs and services all on our doorstep. Today we used minor procedures and physio and both were not just superb but the staff involved made us feel so valued. Thank you
