Patient Experience Summary

Patients report significant challenges accessing this practice, with appointment booking and telephone responsiveness emerging as persistent concerns. Lengthy waiting times to reach the surgery by phone, frequent call disconnections, and difficulty securing timely appointments are recurring themes. Reception staff conduct has been widely criticised, with reports of discourteous behaviour, dismissive attitudes, and poor communication. In contrast, clinical staff including nursing professionals and several doctors receive consistent praise for compassionate care, thorough medical examinations, and attentive follow-up communication.

While some patients report satisfactory experiences with booking and reception interactions, the volume of feedback regarding access difficulties and reception experience suggests systemic issues requiring attention. Patients express frustration with appointment availability, extended hold times, and unresponsive communication channels. The disparity between positive feedback about clinical care quality and negative feedback about administrative and reception services indicates that service improvements should focus on accessibility, telephone responsiveness, and front desk conduct.

A minority of patients report positive overall experiences, including efficient booking processes and professional reception staff. However, the predominance of feedback highlighting lengthy waiting times, difficult appointment access, and reception staff courtesy issues indicates these remain significant areas affecting patient experience at this practice.

Compassionate nurse saved my tricky blood draw

Came early today for a blood draw with no prior preparation. I have challenging veins, and the technician at the Central Medical location struggled to find a good spot, leaving some bruising on my arm. However, the staff member was incredibly skilled and compassionate, which made me very satisfied with the overall experience.

Exceptional nurse nosheen made my healthcare experience great

I am extremely satisfied with the care provided by nurse Nosheen Khan, and I always look forward to consulting her about my health concerns. She is an incredibly compassionate professional who consistently assists me with my issues and effectively manages my medication, particularly when drawing blood. I hold Dr. Rizvi and Dr. Vivek in high regard, and I deeply miss Dr. Vivek's presence in the surgical department. We genuinely need more healthcare staff members like these - they are truly professional and excel at their work.

Terrible service and unprofessional medical staff nightmare

I attempted to schedule my son's appointment three separate times, but each occasion resulted in them claiming they had 'accidentally' failed to book it. Every single time, I was forced to return home with my infant. Moreover, their phone response is excruciatingly slow - so much so that I personally visited their office and discovered staff casually chatting instead of answering incoming calls. I sincerely hope their reception team undergoes significant changes. Their staff also appear woefully unprepared in customer service skills, displaying unprofessional behavior like abrupt call terminations and communicating with apparent emotional instability.

Friendly nurse makes blood test a breeze

I visited Noshine for my blood test today, and she was absolutely fantastic - both professional and comforting. I would gladly recommend her services to anyone. While I truly miss Dr Vivek from the practice, Dr Hi am is also a very competent physician.

Rude staff and mouse ruin otherwise great care

The front desk employees display a discriminatory and discourteous attitude, arbitrarily selecting patients instead of following the proper queuing order. During my blood test, I was initially anxious, but Nurse Nosheen was exceptional. Her professionalism and compassionate approach made the procedure almost imperceptible. She was incredibly attentive, answering my questions and effectively alleviating the stress caused by the unwelcoming reception staff. Most alarmingly, I distinctly witnessed a mouse scurrying beneath the refrigerator. When I brought this to the nurse's attention, she repeatedly denied the occurrence, which is deeply concerning. The facility urgently needs thorough cleaning, as this is fundamentally a matter of hygiene and patient safety.

Great care from compassionate medical professionals

I'm quite content with Dr. Rizvi. She demonstrates genuine compassion and attentiveness. Nurse Sheen is exceptionally competent and professional, displaying a thorough understanding of her responsibilities. I continue to choose this medical practice partly because of their excellent staff, and Dr. Jegasothy is also a commendable physician.

Amazing care from dr rizvi and her team

Dr. Rizvi has consistently provided me with outstanding care. Her warm demeanor and accessibility make medical visits comfortable. She carefully listens to every detail of my health concerns and excels at explaining different medical approaches thoroughly. Nosheen, the nurse, is equally remarkable. Her support and assistance have been invaluable in managing my healthcare. These two professionals are the sole reason I continue to choose this medical practice.

Amazing care and support from compassionate staff

During my diabetic assessment, nurse Lauren conducted a superficial examination, merely wearing gloves and providing minimal attention. In contrast, Nosheen's approach was remarkably different. She performed my diabetic foot test with exceptional care and went above and beyond by offering comprehensive support, including a personalized diet plan to help me manage my weight. Dr. Rizvi, Nosheen, Dr. Vivek, and Dr. Jegasothy have been instrumental in my continued trust and commitment to this medical practice.

Compassionate doctors save this practice from terrible staff

Dr. Rizwi, Nosheen, and Dr. Vivek are the sole reason I continue to visit this medical practice. These three staff members have been incredibly compassionate and supportive throughout my struggles with chronic health conditions. They consistently demonstrate genuine care and go above and beyond to assist me. However, the same cannot be said for the reception staff, who are consistently discourteous and unhelpful. I've personally experienced their poor attitude, and I've witnessed similar treatment of other patients, which significantly detracts from the otherwise excellent care provided by the aforementioned medical professionals.

Compassionate care beyond expectations at this clinic

The front desk team is truly dedicated to assisting patients, and Darshan, the pharmacist, displays an infectious enthusiasm for his work, always eager to provide support. A minor concern with one physician was swiftly addressed with utmost professionalism and compassion. The facility offers seamless wheelchair accessibility and is accommodating to those with speech and hearing challenges through their convenient messaging platform.

Terrible reception but amazing doctor saves the day

I cannot commend the receptionist at all due to their brusque demeanor and subpar interpersonal skills. Despite this, I've awarded 5 stars because Dr Jeyasothy provided exceptional, streamlined service. During a challenging period dealing with my parents' medical concerns, he was the sole professional who proactively reached out with updates, shared crucial information, and ensured my parents received appropriate medical care and appointments. Even with my work constraints, he was incredibly accommodating, finding convenient times to communicate. He demonstrated remarkable thoroughness and a consistently helpful attitude. I wholeheartedly recommend him and sincerely hope all physicians at this practice match his level of professionalism and efficiency.

Worst medical care ever terrible experience avoid

I'm utterly astounded that this medical practice continues to operate. The front desk staff display remarkable incompetence and an appalling attitude, frequently disconnecting calls when I seek assistance regarding issues they've created. The clinical staff demonstrate shocking disorganization and have consistently committed errors in my medical treatment, directly causing significant disruptions to my medication access. I've been struggling since August 2nd to obtain a simple prescription, and their promises of follow-up are completely unreliable. I strongly advise anyone with alternative options to avoid registering here; Morden Hall GP surgery is a substantially superior alternative just a short distance away. This practice represents an embarrassingly poor example of NHS services, which are typically of excellent standard.

Frustrating wait for unhelpful medical service

I desperately needed an urgent medical consultation due to a black nail issue. I was forced to wait on hold for a staggering 30 minutes before finally reaching someone, and even then, the representative only responded after 23 minutes of waiting. When they finally spoke to me, they merely offered a phone appointment, which is completely inadequate given my physical condition that requires an in-person examination by a doctor.
