Patient feedback reveals a mixed experience across appointment access, care quality, and reception interactions. A significant proportion of reviews highlight persistent challenges with booking availability, with patients reporting repeated failed attempts to secure appointments through phone lines and extended waiting times. Communication breakdowns are noted at reception and between clinical teams, and prescription issues have been reported. However, many patients describe positive experiences once appointments are secured, with reception staff frequently praised for courtesy and warmth, and clinical care consistently commended for responsiveness and compassion. Recent feedback suggests improvements in appointment availability and service consistency, with several patients noting enhanced booking experiences and more efficient telephone responsiveness. Staff turnover and inconsistency in reception quality remain concerns for some, though others report recent positive shifts in team performance and patient care delivery.
The practice demonstrates capability in clinical care, with patients appreciating attentive consultations, thorough examinations, and follow-up support. Digital check-in processes and vaccination services have been well-received. However, the booking system remains a critical barrier to access, with patients recommending modernisation through online scheduling. Communication between departments and proactive medication review processes require attention. Overall, the practice shows potential for excellence when patients can access care, but systemic improvements to appointment scheduling and internal communication would significantly enhance the patient experience.

Terrible service and incredibly unhelpful staff
Repeating my previous 1-star assessment. The front desk personnel display an unacceptable level of discourtesy, and the management urgently needs to recruit more professional employees.

Helpful phone consultation with potential for more
Positive Phone Consultation with Potential for In-Person Improvement! I recently engaged in a telephone consultation about my health concerns, and I was genuinely impressed by the quality of care I received. The physician demonstrated exceptional attentiveness, expertise, and took considerable time to thoroughly address every question I posed, which made me feel genuinely understood and professionally supported. While the phone consultation was beneficial, I believe an in-person meeting would provide a more holistic assessment of my health situation. A face-to-face interaction would undoubtedly enable a more nuanced discussion and potentially lead to a more precise diagnostic approach and treatment strategy. Despite this minor reservation, I am truly grateful for the professionalism of the medical team and am optimistic about potentially scheduling an in-person consultation in the future to ensure a comprehensive health evaluation. My sincere thanks for your dedicated care and compassionate support!

Exceptional care from a compassionate medical professional
Had an excellent visit with Dr. Kumanan, who demonstrated both professionalism and warmth. The appointment started promptly, and the check-in process was smooth. I appreciate that they'll be following up with a phone call in two weeks to check on my progress. Much appreciated!

Frustrating appointment process with missed communication
Attempted to schedule a consultation multiple times, finally securing a slot via telephone for the following week. When the appointed time arrived, I waited patiently. The healthcare provider attempted to contact me once, but I missed the call. Consequently, I'm thoroughly dissatisfied with the experience.

Friendly health check with frustrating follow-up experience
The gentleman who conducted our health assessment was quite competent. Nevertheless, I received a follow-up text about the results. When the physician called me, he was unable to retrieve my information, rendering the entire conversation pointless and frustrating!!

Friendly receptionist saves the day at surgery
Today I contacted the medical practice, and the young receptionist was incredibly supportive and professional, in stark contrast to the unhelpful staff member I encountered earlier this week. Perhaps the practice should consider using her as a model for training all their front desk personnel on effective customer service.

Exceptional care from compassionate healthcare professionals
I visited the clinic today and met with nurse Zohra, who was incredibly warm and compassionate. She truly went above and beyond by finding a way to print my documents, even though her printer was malfunctioning - a gesture I deeply appreciated. I also had a consultation with Dr Sajjad, who was remarkably supportive and attentive during my visit.

Turning point for my medical care journey
I sensed the medical procedure was initially declining, but it has significantly improved. My latest interaction has been remarkably positive, with the reception staff being warm and supportive, and the physicians taking the time to genuinely listen and assist. They've followed through on their commitments, expediting tests and providing thorough follow-up. I'm optimistic this trend will persist.

Quick and efficient flu jab service
I received a text message inviting me to get my flu vaccination. They mentioned a flexible 2-hour window where I could arrive at my convenience. I walked in, went directly to a nurse who administered the shot, and was out the door in under 5 minutes. The staff were welcoming and the entire process was incredibly smooth. Absolutely perfect.

Compassionate care that keeps getting better
Throughout my two-decade relationship with CHMC, I've witnessed significant transformations in their surgical services. Most notably, within the past twelve months, there's been a remarkable improvement. The reception staff consistently demonstrate a welcoming and flexible approach, while the general practitioners have proven to be consistently compassionate and supportive.

Quick and painless flu shot experience
I went to a walk-in flu shot clinic without scheduling ahead. The personnel were incredibly friendly and professional, guiding patients methodically to one of three designated vaccination areas. The nurse inquired about my preferred arm for the injection and, after carefully cleaning the skin, administered the vaccine with great care. The entire process was smooth and considerate. The staff provided exceptional service and attention to detail. I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. My sincere appreciation goes to Chilton House for their outstanding care.
