Church Lane Surgery
Bad! (85 reviews)
Bad! (85 reviews)
Feedback on this GP practice reveals a deeply divided patient experience. While some patients consistently praise individual medical professionals for their compassion, attentiveness, and professional expertise, the reception experience emerges as a significant and persistent concern across numerous reviews. Multiple patients report difficulties with appointment availability, with extended waiting periods and booking system issues creating barriers to timely access. Communication challenges feature prominently, with patients describing dismissive interactions, poor responsiveness to concerns, and inadequate clarity around wait times and appointment details.
Reception courtesy and respect represent the most frequently cited problems, with patients describing discourteous staff behaviour, unhelpful responses to straightforward requests, and a general lack of willingness to assist. Several reviews reference concerns about inconsistent treatment and organisational failures affecting prescription management and follow-up care. A small number of positive reviews highlight supportive administrative staff and convenient scheduling, though these are substantially outnumbered by accounts of frustration with booking processes and reception interactions.
The practice demonstrates notable inconsistency in service quality. Patients consistently acknowledge that individual doctors and nurses provide compassionate, professional care, yet administrative barriers and reception experience significantly undermine overall satisfaction. Appointment access difficulties, communication breakdowns, and reception courtesy issues require urgent attention to improve the patient experience and ensure equitable, respectful service across all interactions.

Bad!
Worst medical practice ever avoid at all costs
I cannot endorse this medical practice whatsoever. It deserves zero stars, not even one. The primary doctor demonstrates a complete lack of patient care, and even the other healthcare providers occasionally display rudeness. Don't even get me started on the front desk staff. Their behavior is absolutely atrocious, with zero semblance of human respect. This place desperately needs a complete transformation, like the character from Anniyan (2005).

Worst customer service ever from rude receptionists
The three female staff members at the front desk epitomize poor customer service, displaying an attitude that is consistently dismissive, unprofessional, and utterly uninterested in assisting guests.

Excellent!
Friendly staff and caring doctor at church lane
Church lane surgery provides excellent care. Dr. Chandran is compassionate and kind, with a genuinely helpful approach. The entire staff is professional and welcoming, making patients feel comfortable and well-supported.

Bad!
Terrible service with shocking racial discrimination
An utterly revolting establishment! The level of disrespect upon entering is completely unacceptable. The RACIST receptionist demonstrates blatant discrimination, completely disregarding white-skinned individuals while giving preferential treatment to Asian patients. These receptionists are incompetent and so incredibly discourteous that they have no business working in healthcare. I am absolutely shocked and appalled by their behavior - it's simply beyond comprehension.

Excellent!
Great care and friendly medical staff
I've consistently had an excellent experience with their staff, who are consistently courteous, accommodating, and the nursing team is particularly outstanding.
