Patient Experience Summary

Medical professionals at the practice receive consistent praise for their clinical competence, compassion, and responsiveness. Patients frequently highlight the quality of care during consultations, procedures, and follow-up arrangements, with particular appreciation for the welcoming environment and efficient service coordination. Weekend access to appointments and extended hours have been valued as a practical resource for patients seeking timely care.

Appointment access remains a significant challenge, with patients reporting extended waiting periods for non-urgent slots and difficulties reaching the practice through contact systems. Reception experience is notably inconsistent, with some patients describing courteous and supportive interactions while others have encountered discourteous communication and unhelpful attitudes. Contact system issues, including problems with online booking platforms and telephone availability, compound these access difficulties and create frustration.

While the clinical care and professional medical staff are widely regarded as strong, the practice would benefit from addressing reception communication consistency and improving the reliability of appointment booking systems. Patients value the organisation and efficiency demonstrated in care delivery, but barriers to initial contact and appointment scheduling undermine their overall experience.

Exceptional healthcare during challenging pandemic times

Cannot express enough gratitude during these challenging circumstances. The medical professionals and personnel have been absolutely exceptional. On both occasions when I experienced issues, I was reached out to immediately, appropriate consultations were scheduled, and medication was efficiently coordinated directly with the pharmacy. Sincere appreciation, Trevor Matthews

Rude staff and poor service at medical center

The most significant issue with this medical facility lies in the subpar performance of certain front desk staff. There's an unmistakable sense of superiority permeating the environment, with one particularly domineering receptionist who appears to believe she runs the place. Getting an appointment with a seemingly unmotivated doctor is incredibly challenging, as they seem to prefer remote consultations. The staff could definitely benefit from improving their customer service and hiring more professional receptionists who actually care about patient experience.

Smooth and efficient healthcare experience from start

I received top-notch care throughout my medical journey. After consulting my physician, I was referred to the Middlewood partnership in Poynton. They efficiently arranged my tests and scheduled appointments at Macclesfield hospital. I was impressed by how swiftly my results were processed, and treatment commenced within a month. The reception teams at both Bollington and Poynton were incredibly supportive and compassionate. This experience exemplifies the ideal standard of healthcare that the NHS should consistently deliver.

Terrible customer service at this frustrating business

The front desk staff displays a consistently discourteous demeanor, perpetually exhibiting an unwelcoming attitude and terminating phone conversations without proper etiquette. Overall, the interaction leaves much to be desired in terms of customer service.

Long wait but exceptional medical care

The waiting period for non-urgent appointments stretches on for weeks. Despite this, the physicians at this facility are truly exceptional. They demonstrate compassion, empathy, and genuine care. I encountered the most outstanding nurse I've ever experienced, particularly during blood draws - an ordeal I typically dread. She executed the procedure with incredible speed and minimal discomfort. The front desk personnel consistently maintain a professional and confidential demeanor. However, the significant drawback lies in the communication challenges; reaching the reception can be incredibly difficult, often taking days to make contact. Coupled with the extended wait times for appointments, this communication barrier becomes increasingly exasperating.
