Feedback on this practice reflects a notably mixed experience across appointment access, reception courtesy, and clinical care. Many patients report compassionate and professional clinical staff who demonstrate genuine attentiveness and thorough communication, with particular praise for responsiveness during complex health situations and efficient specialist referrals. However, significant concerns emerge around appointment booking, with patients describing lengthy phone queues, difficulty reaching reception, and extended waiting times that create substantial access barriers. Reception experience varies considerably—some patients consistently encounter warm and helpful staff, whilst others report rudeness, dismissiveness, and disrespectful treatment during phone interactions. Communication failures appear across multiple reviews, including missed messages, unclear appointment confirmations, and inconsistent information. A smaller number of reviews raise concerns about clinical decision-making and care quality, though the majority of feedback highlights professional expertise and attentive consultations.
The practice demonstrates particular strength in continuity of care, with long-term patients noting consistent quality and staff familiarity. Administrative processes for medical documentation and prescription management receive mixed feedback, with some reporting efficiency whilst others describe delays and unclear procedures. The reception environment itself is frequently described as welcoming and organised, though phone-based access remains a persistent frustration point. Overall, the practice appears to deliver strong clinical care and maintain a generally professional environment, but operational challenges around appointment availability and telephone accessibility significantly impact patient experience.

Unhelpful doctor who ignored my medical concerns
Visited Dr. Phillips to discuss my health concerns, but he seemed disinterested, constantly focused on his computer screen instead of conducting a physical examination. He abruptly altered my prescription without thoroughly assessing my condition, leaving me feeling unsatisfied and unheard.

Terrible pharmacy service putting my baby's health at risk
Repeatedly failing to have my 8-month-old's prescription prepared on schedule, and the on-call physician incorrectly identified her condition as croup when she actually has tonsillitis.

Terrible gp's destroyed my health care experience
Absolute zero rating - steer clear! These general practitioners are completely incompetent and clueless about medical care. Hands down the most terrible healthcare encounter I've ever endured. I strongly advise seeking medical attention elsewhere for your well-being.

Exceptional service with caring and professional staff
From the moment I entered, I was greeted with exceptional service. The reception staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. A special mention to Lara, who was absolutely delightful and went above and beyond with her warm demeanor. I was swiftly seen by my physician and had my blood drawn promptly by Carol, who was incredibly skilled. Despite my intense fear of needles, she made the process completely painless and seamless. These wonderful professionals transformed what could have been a stressful visit into a truly pleasant experience.

Frustrating healthcare with unhelpful and disorganized staff
Scheduling an appointment through their phone system is incredibly challenging, with excessively long wait times to even reach reception. Their online consultation process is equally frustrating, as they merely offer a random doctor's call at an unpredictable time. Despite explicitly requesting an afternoon consultation after 4 pm, they consistently call at inconvenient times like midday. The reception staff's incompetence is truly appalling. In a recent incident, I encountered four different excuses over four separate days, with each interaction introducing new paperwork requirements just to access my 12-year-old child's food allergy blood test results. The overall service quality is abysmal, and I cannot recommend this general practice to anyone.

BadTerrible communication
While this practice does have some excellent doctors and other practitioners it is let down by its clinical leads and reception team. Messages are garbled, or not passed on at all, investigation is lacking, and problems are dismissed. Dr Phillips, in particular, is outright dangerous, and I would advise anyone to refuse any appointment with him as he does not consider contraindications when prescribing medication, even when life-threatening.

Negligent care puts patient health at serious risk
Appalling medical practice with reckless communication and dangerous medical advice. The clinic irresponsibly suggested a potential cancer diagnosis without substantial evidence. They also instructed a patient to discontinue critical blood pressure medication based on unsubstantiated side effect concerns not mentioned in official drug documentation, and without establishing any monitoring protocol. Moreover, one of the physicians appeared incapable of properly interpreting an X-ray, demonstrating a shocking lack of professional competence.

Terrible customer service that left us frustrated
The service was utterly appalling. My wife got a text about her Saturday afternoon appointment, followed by a confirmation text on Friday. When Saturday arrived and they called, she returned the call, only to be treated with complete disrespect by an incredibly rude receptionist who spoke to her in a demeaning manner. The receptionist stubbornly argued it was a phone consultation, flatly refusing to acknowledge the two previous text messages about an in-person afternoon appointment. They coldly instructed her to contact our own medical practice on Monday. The receptionist's behavior was absolutely unacceptable, and we will definitely be reporting this terrible experience to our surgery.

Amazing healthcare service that truly cares
Despite the widespread trend of declining healthcare quality, this medical practice consistently impresses me with its exceptional service. From easy appointment scheduling to thorough and insightful consultations, Dr Swallow once again demonstrated remarkable expertise. Although my appointment ran behind schedule, I found myself appreciating the reception team's compassionate, composed, and professional demeanor while they skillfully managed diverse patient interactions and complex inquiries. Having firsthand experience working within the NHS and regularly engaging with various GP practices, I can confidently say that the standard of care here far surpasses what I typically encounter. I consider myself fortunate to be a patient at this outstanding surgery.

Compassionate care from an exceptional healthcare professional
I consulted with Julie today regarding a complex array of health concerns that I initially found challenging to discuss, as being vulnerable isn't typical for me. My expectations were uncertain, but Julie proved incredibly supportive and has truly elevated the practice's standard of care through her compassionate approach, genuine concern, and meticulous effort to understand the root of my medical issues. Her professionalism transformed what could have been an intimidating encounter into a comfortable and reassuring experience. I am grateful to Julie for her exceptional handling of my consultation.

Frustrating medical records request with poor service
I'm attempting to obtain medical documentation for my elderly mother, who recently underwent surgery, after promptly completing the necessary paperwork. Initially, I was assured processing would occur the following day. However, after a 10-day delay, I'm now informed that additional documentation is required, including my mother's signature and identification, with a total processing time of 28 days. I'm uncertain whether this represents a training deficiency or simply an overwhelmed system, but it clearly demonstrates significant communication and procedural shortcomings. When I questioned the extended timeline, the representative became defensive and unprofessionally suggested that I should work there to understand their workload, which struck me as a completely inappropriate and unhelpful response. The entire experience has been frustrating and lacks the customer service one would expect in handling sensitive medical information.
