Patient Experience Summary

Feedback reflects a mixed experience with the practice, with notable strengths in reception and appointment access alongside persistent challenges with telephone communication. Patients consistently report positive interactions with reception staff, describing them as welcoming, accommodating, and responsive to assistance requests. Appointment booking experiences are generally efficient, with several patients noting they secured appointments promptly and appreciated the courteous care they received during visits. The practice environment is described as comfortable and conducive to patient consultations.

However, a significant concern emerges around telephone access. Multiple patients report difficulty reaching the practice by phone, citing constantly busy lines, prolonged waiting times before calls are answered, and frustration with the communication barriers this creates. This pattern of phone line challenges appears to be a recurring issue affecting patient experience, despite positive feedback about in person interactions and appointment availability.

Quick Appointment for My New Exercise Plan

Recently moved to the area from Leeds West Yorkshire and sought physiotherapy services. The staff were incredibly welcoming and pleasant. I was booked for an exercise programme, and I was genuinely impressed by how swiftly they scheduled my appointment. I wholeheartedly endorse their services. Many thanks.

Hannah saved the day at reception

On February 16th, I visited the medical office to address difficulties with online registration. Despite being the sole staff member at the front desk, the receptionist named Hannah was exceptional and efficiently assisted me while managing patient check-ins. I truly appreciate her help in resolving my issue.

Frustrating Phone Runaround at This Medical Office

Attempting to contact the office by phone is a nightmare. When I finally get through, the line rings endlessly, and the automated message claims the practice is shut down, which I know is completely false.

Long Wait Times Drove Me Crazy

Every time I attempt to contact this place, the phone lines are constantly busy. It's absolutely frustrating, especially since my friend is a patient there and I need to reach someone.
