Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Many patients praise the reception experience, noting courteous and accommodating staff who handle appointment scheduling efficiently and responsively. Care delivery receives consistent positive comment, with patients highlighting compassionate healthcare professionals who provide thorough explanations and attentive consultations. However, significant concerns emerge around appointment access and waiting experiences. Extended delays in securing appointments, with some patients reporting waits of several weeks or longer, feature prominently in negative feedback. Additionally, patients describe doctors running behind schedule, creating substantial disruption for those who arrive punctually. Communication about delays and appointment availability appears inconsistent, with some reporting booking system errors and lost records.
Management responsiveness presents another area of concern, with patients noting difficulty reaching the practice by phone and slow responses to escalated issues. While individual staff members frequently receive praise for their dedication and professionalism, systemic challenges around appointment availability, timeliness, and communication consistency appear to undermine the overall service experience for a notable proportion of patients. The feedback suggests that positive interactions at reception and during consultations are sometimes offset by frustration with access to care and organisational responsiveness.

Great!
Inconsistent care with rotating medical staff
It's decent enough if you consistently see the same physician, but things can get tricky when you end up with different doctors each visit.

Terrible service and unhelpful medical staff
I've been a patient at this medical practice since Dr. Khan was in charge, but since Dr. Sha took over, the quality has drastically declined. Whenever I try to call, they rarely pick up the phone, and when they do, scheduling an appointment with a doctor takes at least two weeks. The receptionist, an elderly woman, is extremely discourteous, and I can't understand how she maintains her position. The overall service is completely unacceptable.

Terrible customer service at this medical practice
Incompetent front desk staff who are clueless about their communication systems and office procedures. They consistently fail to relay messages, despite multiple requests on different days. Frustratingly unresponsive, with just a single employee demonstrating any level of competence or professionalism.

Disappointing emergency appointment with poor communication
Scheduled an urgent consultation as promoted, but when I arrived, they claimed no record of my booking. The front desk staff attempted to help, yet the situation remained unresolved, ultimately advising me to contact the NHS helpline 111.

Frustrating healthcare system leaves patient desperate and angry
My doctor advised me to schedule a medication review in two weeks, but when I tried to book, they claimed zero availability during that timeframe and suggested I call back next week for potential openings. I'm utterly baffled - where exactly are these mysterious new appointments supposed to materialize from? It seems completely absurd!

Endless waiting and frustration at colne road surgery
I am utterly exasperated and let down by the persistent problem of extended wait periods at Colne Road Surgery. The recurrent delays stem mainly from physicians arriving behind schedule, creating substantial disruption for patients who make every effort to be punctual for their consultations. This continued disregard for patients' valuable time is simply intolerable, particularly when such tardiness becomes a recurring pattern. I emphatically call on the administrative team to tackle this matter urgently and guarantee that medical staff strictly comply with their designated appointment times, thereby delivering prompt care and rebuilding patients' trust in the practice.
