Patient feedback reflects a predominantly positive experience with the practice's care delivery, communication, and courtesy. Many patients report confidence in the service, describing responsive and attentive clinical care alongside reassuring interactions with staff. Patients consistently highlight the practice's organisation, with several noting seamless appointment scheduling and efficient follow-up processes. The reception experience receives particular praise for helpfulness and respect, with staff frequently going above and beyond to support patient needs.
However, some patients have experienced significant challenges with appointment availability and the booking process. One patient missed a scheduled appointment due to a failed text confirmation system, whilst another reported difficulty accessing the reception and booking services. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the reception environment, with one patient noting that sensitive patient information is occasionally overheard in the waiting area, raising confidentiality issues.
Administrative responsiveness presents a mixed picture. Whilst most patients report efficient prescription management and prompt appointment access, one patient experienced substantial delays in obtaining a corrected fit note, resulting in financial impact. Overall, the practice demonstrates strong clinical care and courtesy, though access and booking reliability require attention to ensure consistent service quality across all patient interactions.

Bad!
Delayed Fit Note Cost Me $250 in Wages
A terrible surgical experience, compounded by an equally terrible administrative team. It took almost four full days to get them to provide a corrected fit note for my employer. I repeatedly explained the critical deadline for receiving my work pay and was deceived twice. They promised the document would be completed on Friday, but it wasn't. Then again on Monday, they assured me it would be sent that afternoon, yet nothing arrived. As a result, I lost £250 of my monthly income due to their inexcusable delays. Their service is completely unacceptable, and I will absolutely never return to this facility again.

Dr Vardhan Truly Cares for Her Patients
Dr Vardhan is arguably the most exceptional general practitioner I've encountered. Her patient-centered approach and unwavering commitment to providing top-notch care truly set her apart. Upon assuming leadership of the practice, she has transformed both the quality of service and the fundamental principles guiding the medical team. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Vardhan's exceptional medical expertise and compassionate care.

Long-Time Patient Feels Truly Cared For
I've been receiving care at this medical practice for over 18 years, and I can honestly state that every single staff member—from the doctors to Leanne the nurse, Craig the practice manager, and the front desk team—has consistently exceeded my expectations. They've always been incredibly accommodating, no matter the request. When I've needed urgent appointments or last-minute medication refills, they've been incredibly responsive. Moreover, they've consistently provided that extra bit of emotional support, offering reassurance and guidance whenever I've needed it. Their comprehensive and compassionate approach to patient care is truly outstanding. I cannot thank them enough for their exceptional service. THANK YOU X

Same-day appointment saved my health
Scheduling an appointment was a breeze, and the front desk staff went above and beyond to assist me. They guided me through the process of consulting my GP seamlessly. I was promptly offered a phone consultation on the spot, during which everything was clearly explained. Dr. Vardhan then arranged an in-person follow-up appointment for the following day. Much appreciation for their exceptional service.

Supportive Care for Our Daughter's Coeliac Diagnosis
We've been patients at this medical practice ever since relocating to the area 18 years ago. Throughout this time, we've consistently been satisfied with the practice and Dr Vardhan. The front desk team is always cordial and supportive. Recently, we've been particularly impressed by Dr Whitelaw, who has been exceptional in managing our daughter's Coeliac diagnosis. He goes above and beyond, personally calling to discuss test results, provide referrals, and explain everything thoroughly. He never makes us feel rushed during conversations, and we truly appreciate the comprehensive care we've received. We are grateful to Dr Vardhan's Surgery and wholeheartedly endorse their services. An absolute 100% recommendation.

Quick Care When It Matters Most
Exceptional medical care. They consistently address patient concerns with the utmost priority. Swiftly referred me for my back issue and when I discovered a lump. Ensured thorough follow-up through regular check-ups. I cannot praise this practice highly enough, not just for myself but for my entire family. Dr Whitelaw is truly outstanding as well 🙌👏

Caring Doctor Who Really Listens
Dr Vardhan consistently provides exceptional primary care. She has been instrumental in addressing my health concerns, ranging from psychological well-being to medication for routine ailments. Her approach is both warm and competent, demonstrating genuine concern for her patients' welfare. The other physicians at the practice have similarly impressed me with their prompt referrals for diagnostic testing during the COVID-19 period. I sincerely hope they maintain their high standard of medical service!

Thorough Care for My Persistent Headaches
I've been struggling with persistent headaches, occurring weekly or more frequently, and Dr. Vardhan has been diligently working to address this health issue. She has been incredibly thorough in her approach, exploring every potential cause by ordering comprehensive diagnostic tests like a CT scan and an MRI. She has also systematically tried different medication options to find relief. After the scans ruled out any critical underlying conditions, she recommended physiotherapy, which is currently in progress. I would also like to express my gratitude to the administrative staff who have been exceptionally helpful in scheduling my appointments and managing my prescriptions. Each team member has been consistently accommodating and responsive to my needs.

Caring doctors who've helped me for 40 years
For over four decades, I've been a patient at this medical practice, and I can confidently say I'm thoroughly satisfied with the care provided. There has never been a reason for complaint, and Dr Vardhan consistently helps me feel calm and reassured, even when I'm worried about my health concerns. Dr Whitelaw, a recent addition to the team, demonstrates similar compassion and understanding. The reception staff are incredibly supportive, always willing to go the extra mile. Throughout the pandemic, they have been consistently present, with practice manager Craig showing exceptional knowledge and genuine concern. Although the surgery is compact, I actually view this as an advantage, as patients don't feel overwhelmed or lost in a complex system. Every staff member and doctor exhibits remarkable empathy, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this medical practice to anyone seeking quality healthcare.

Dr Vardhan Saved My Life
Where to begin...? Dr Vardhan has been truly exceptional, and I can sincerely say she saved my life! After discovering a breast lump, I was promptly referred and seen within two weeks! I received the most devastating news possible. The anxiety was overwhelming, but Dr Vardhan consistently met with me weekly to ensure my well-being. Nothing was ever too much trouble! She would extend her hours beyond the clinic's schedule to support me. She prioritized my needs above her own family! I could not have survived the past two years without her. My relatives express their gratitude to her every time they encounter her, recognizing her incredible support for my entire family. My monthly injection visits remain straightforward and comfortable. During these appointments, Dr Vardhan always checks on my mental health, and I'm confident in her genuine care. I'm eternally grateful for everything she's done for me! Her compassion is immeasurable. The reception staff are equally wonderful! Each team member demonstrates politeness, empathy, and kindness. A special acknowledgment to Craig, who consistently brightens my day with his ability to make me smile and laugh 😂 This practice is unquestionably the best, and I've heard no other doctor matches Dr Vardhan's dedication. People are actively seeking to join this surgery due to their outstanding reputation! Thank you profoundly for everything, Dr Vardhan and your remarkable team. You deserve far more than five stars! Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊

Unsatisfactory care from an unhelpful doctor
I ultimately departed from this medical practice due to eroding trust in a key physician. Her remarks struck me as inappropriately intimate and boundary-crossing, and she initially declined to authorize additional diagnostic steps. Only after my spouse intervened and we consulted an alternative doctor did I receive a referral and undergo a corrective surgical procedure. While I initially remained with the practice following this incident, my dissatisfaction intensified when I became concerned about my son's medical care under the same doctor. Discovering that I couldn't consistently schedule appointments with alternative practitioners ultimately prompted my decision to seek healthcare elsewhere.

Dr Vardhan Helped Me Take Charge of My Health
I've been a patient at this surgery since childhood! Dr Vardhan has become a healthcare professional I completely depend on and trust implicitly. She's supported me through numerous challenges and is incredibly approachable and easy to communicate with. Previously, I was someone who would ignore health concerns and rarely visited doctors, which often meant problems escalated unnecessarily. Now, whenever I experience any medical issue, I immediately contact Dr Vardhan, knowing she genuinely listens and collaboratively works to resolve my concerns. The practice consistently provides rapid appointments, and I've never encountered scheduling difficulties. Patients are actively engaged in their healthcare decisions and treatment plans. The MyGP app has been particularly beneficial, especially for individuals struggling with anxiety who find telephone communication challenging. Being able to select appointments and send brief messages has been an excellent support tool. My primary reservation relates to confidentiality within the reception area. I frequently overhear sensitive patient information, which I attempt to disregard. However, hearing my mother's full name, medication details, and discussion of her telephone consultation regarding prescriptions has significantly increased my anxiety about potential personal information exposure. I believe implementing a physical barrier between the reception desk and waiting area would provide staff more privacy and protect patient confidentiality. Prescription management was previously a recurring source of stress, with issues arising from both my mistakes and administrative processes. Delays would occur due to unsigned doctor authorizations or premature submission. Recently, however, the process has become seamless. I no longer experience anxiety about prescription handling, confident they will be processed efficiently. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Vardhan and Dr Khatri to anyone seeking exceptional medical care.

Poor!
Missed ECG Due to No Text Reminder
I had a consultation with Dr. Khateri on the 8th, which went smoothly, and she instructed me to schedule an ECG at the reception. I booked the appointment for the 9th (today) at what I believed was 1:10 PM with the nurse. Upon arriving at 1:00 PM, I was informed that the appointment was actually at 12:50 PM, and I had missed it. Although I wasn't provided with a detailed slip, I wasn't concerned since I had signed up for text confirmations. Unfortunately, I never received the expected text reminder, which led to my late arrival and subsequent "no show" status—a frustrating situation, especially considering I was only 10 minutes late. To make matters worse, I'm leaving on Sunday for a two-week period and will likely miss what seems to be a crucial medical procedure. Needless to say, I am thoroughly disappointed with the entire experience.
