Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience at the practice. Clinical care consistently receives strong recognition, with patients praising the professionalism, compassion, and responsiveness of doctors and nursing staff. Many patients report positive experiences with medical consultations, medication support, and efficient clinical procedures.
However, significant challenges emerge around appointment access and communication. Patients frequently report difficulties reaching the practice by telephone, with extended waiting times and unanswered calls cited repeatedly. The online booking system experiences persistent technical failures, leaving patients unable to schedule appointments through either digital or phone channels.
Reception experience is inconsistent, with some patients describing welcoming and supportive interactions whilst others report interpersonal difficulties and unhelpful responses. Communication delays, particularly regarding prescription authorisation and appointment confirmations, feature prominently in negative feedback. The practice appears to have implemented changes to appointment systems, including triage and e-consultation processes, which some patients find helpful whilst others experience as barriers to access. Overall, whilst clinical delivery and staff warmth are valued, the booking experience and accessibility to initial contact remain significant areas of concern for patients.

Excellent!
Caring doctor helps during challenging pandemic times
Connecting via phone was a bit challenging, which is understandable given the current global health situation.. everyone on staff is clearly putting in maximum effort :) Dr. Patel is an exceptional physician.. he personally returned my call and provided a comprehensive consultation, reducing the need for in-person visits, and the remote appointments were absolutely fantastic! Grateful to Dr. Patel and his wonderful team 👍

Terrible healthcare system failing patients everywhere
It's utterly disgraceful how a person's medical well-being can be jeopardized when doctors are unwilling to provide consultations! I've never encountered such a complete mockery of healthcare!! The National Health Service demonstrates absolutely no consideration for patients whatsoever! Heaven forbid my child requires hospitalization.. there should be a thorough investigation into this medical negligence..

Terrible service and complete waste of time
I reached out at 10:20 AM regarding an urgent medical matter and was assured a clinician would contact me within 1-2 hours. By 2:30 PM, I had heard nothing, so I called back after enduring a 10-minute wait to answer. I was then informed that a telephone consultation with the doctor had been scheduled for the following morning, without any prior communication or explanation to me. My entire morning was completely squandered waiting for a response that never came.!!!!!!

Terrible healthcare experience with frustrating nhs system
I find myself utterly disappointed with this medical practice. Their consultation booking system is completely non-functional, telephone wait times are excessingly long, and physicians are conducting remote assessments, only agreeing to in-person appointments if you're critically ill. This serves as a prime illustration of the healthcare system's profound shortcomings in this nation. It's no surprise that the UK's life expectancy lags behind other European countries, and I'm convinced the NHS plays a significant role in this decline. While some General Practitioners (though not all) demonstrate reasonable competence, and certain nurses are capable, others are decidedly subpar and should be steered clear of.
