Kind doctors made all the difference
Exceptional medical care - all physicians display the utmost professionalism, meticulousness, and respect. I want to highlight two doctors in particular: Dr. Salma Ahmed, who saw me today, and Dr. Madndip Thiara, my partner's physician, both of whom have been incredibly supportive and caring. The practice offers flexible consultation methods including online, phone, and in-person appointments. The reception team is equally warm and accommodating. I consider myself fortunate to be registered with such an outstanding medical practice! Absolutely deserving of a 5-star rating! ⭐️

Lifesaving care at Bridgewater surgery
I've been a patient at Bridgewater surgery for more than two decades, even prior to their relocation from Park Avenue. Throughout all these years, I've consistently experienced courteous and warm treatment. Their medical team's diligence and swift intervention were truly life-saving. They are genuinely exceptional individuals.

Terrible support during my urgent situation
When you're facing an urgent situation and reach out for assistance, they seem completely disinterested in providing any meaningful support.

Bridgewater staff went above and beyond
I've been a patient at this medical practice for years, and when the merger occurred, I was worried about potential changes in care. However, I am profoundly thankful for the unwavering quality of service I've consistently experienced. They handled the challenges of the pandemic remarkably well, quickly adjusting their approach to ensure optimal patient care under extraordinary conditions. Most recently, they have once again demonstrated their exceptional commitment by supporting my partner through some incredibly challenging health situations, where other healthcare services fell short. It's incredibly comforting to know that Bridgewater will always be there for us! A simple "thank you" seems inadequate to express the depth of my appreciation. Without a doubt, they are the finest medical practice in the region!

Quick online report led to helpful care
The online platform for reporting health issues is highly effective and initiates prompt action at the medical center. I was truly impressed by the quick scheduling of my appointment and the subsequent consultation. The examination was comprehensive, and the GP's approach to my case was deeply reassuring. His professional demeanor and thoughtful questioning further enhanced my sense of comfort. In summary, this is an exceptional healthcare practice to be associated with.

Friendly reception staff made my day
The Reception Staff at Bridgewater truly stand out as among the finest nationwide. Their professionalism, supportiveness, compassion, expertise, and excellence are remarkable. Naturally, the Physicians are incredibly comprehensive as well, but this Reception group makes the entire experience so much smoother for everyone. And without fail, every phone call gets picked up.

Quick and reliable healthcare when needed
Always managed to secure a timeslot whenever necessary, and encountered several excellent physicians. My sole suggestion would be the benefit of having a consistent doctor for consultations, though I recognize the challenges of the present healthcare landscape.

Nurse didn't help with my asthma meds
Awful experience, As an asthma patient, I'm using my inhaler much more frequently due to the current weather conditions. I was assured by the nurse that she would provide a new prescription, but upon arrival, she failed to do so. My breathing is severely compromised, and now I'm forced to endure over 8 hours of waiting before I can obtain another inhaler.

Friendly staff despite being super busy
I found myself at this medical practice multiple times recently...The front desk staff are incredibly courteous and supportive. They're clearly operating under significant pressure and seem short-handed, and I sincerely hope they receive additional resources soon. The physicians are competent and genuinely committed to patient care. They demonstrate true professionalism, offer consistent encouragement, and most importantly, they truly listen to patients' concerns. Without hesitation, I can declare this to be the finest general practice I've ever encountered.

Caring doctors who respond fast online
Absolutely delighted with this medical practice! After registering when we relocated to the neighborhood twelve months ago, they've consistently been prompt with online consultations and addressing urgent medical concerns. Although the reception line can occasionally be challenging to get through, they invariably follow up swiftly with professional medical support and guidance. Every physician I've interacted with has been exceptionally compassionate and empathetic. I genuinely feel well-supported and cared for by this healthcare team.

Spotless clinic with tricky parking
The front desk staff are incredibly welcoming and accommodating, though navigating the parking situation can be quite challenging. However, once you make it inside, the facility is immaculately clean. The physician we consulted was exceptional, and I have absolutely no complaints about their care.

Quick appointments and caring doctors
We've been patients at Bridgewater for over 5 years now, and it's truly the most exceptional medical practice we've encountered. Scheduling appointments is incredibly convenient, with same-day availability being the norm. The entire team, from reception to medical professionals, provides an outstanding experience. A special shout-out to Dr Gaj Idaikkadar and the entire staff - we're incredibly grateful for their consistent support throughout the years. They've been particularly wonderful with my two children, who seem to be regulars at the clinic due to frequent visits. Their care and attention have been remarkable!

Grumpy receptionist made waiting room miserable
The employees here seem overworked and underpaid. The staff display a consistently negative demeanor and appear incapable of showing empathy. The receptionist was particularly unpleasant, greeting us with an aggressive attitude and dictating our seating arrangements despite the waiting area being completely empty. We would have definitely sought alternative medical care if any other options were available to us.
