"Exceptional care and professionalism from all"

I would like to express my sincere thanks to one of the healthcare assistants for her excellent service and to the reception team for consistently demonstrating professionalism and empathy, even during busy periods.

Over the years, I have been seen by several GPs at this practice, and on each occasion, I have left feeling well cared for and reassured by the quality of care received.

Keep up the excellent work!

"GP doesn't listen"

The GP just gives you paracetamol. He speaks nicely to you but doesn't listen.

"Fairly difficult to get appointments"

Fairly difficult to get appointments as you can only call on Monday. Any other day you call they refuse and say call Monday. If you go there physically they wont give you an appointment.

"Good customer care"

The care is good and I can get appointments really quickly. I also get check ups for my asthma and they always provide me with treatment that I need. They always give me new and better medication to try when I need it. I would recommend them to anyone due to the good customer care and meeting the needs of the individuals.

"Never referred me because I didn't ask"

They never come out to me and didn't offer me a covid vaccination. I had a problem with my eyes and I had to send a photograph of my eyes and not heard anything. They gave me antibiotics and steroids and nothing is working. I asked if I could be referred to the Eye Hospital and they said they I never asked him to so he never did. He made a referral afterwards.

"Friendly staff and clean surgery"

"Receptionist have bad attitudes"

I phoned on behalf of my mother who urgently needed to see a doctor as she required more medication for her diabetes. I spoke to a receptionist who said they would not be able to prescribe more medication. I had to beg her to give my mother something as she only had a days worth of medication left and in the end she ended up getting me more medication, but had a really bad attitude about it.

"Hard to get an appointment and prescriptions"

It's hard to get an appointment, they've changed the way we have to request medication on repeat prescriptions and tell me I need to make an appointment before I can request my medication, but then they have no appointments for over 2 days and I am missing my medication. When I ask to speak to a doctor, I feel like they talk through the receptionists and you do not see them. They need to deal with their patients face to face.

"Receptionists are rude"

I booked an appointment after w days of calling and being told none available call back tomorrow. Eventually I got through and booked an appointment. Doctor called and It cut off as i went to answer. I called back and receptionists said I will get Doctor to call back. No call after 4 hours. When I called back they said Doctor went ages ago and to call back next day.
