Patients consistently report positive experiences with clinical care, communication, and reception experience at the practice. Physicians are frequently described as compassionate, attentive, and thorough in their approach, with particular praise for their listening skills and ability to explain medical information clearly. The reception team is noted for courtesy, helpfulness, and responsiveness, creating a welcoming environment that contributes to overall patient satisfaction. Many patients express confidence in the service and report long-term loyalty to the practice.
Appointment availability and booking experience present the most significant challenge. Patients describe difficulty securing same-day consultations, with slots filling extremely quickly at designated booking times. Phone responsiveness during peak periods is reported as problematic, with extended wait times. The NHS app offers an alternative but typically involves substantially longer waiting periods. Despite these access challenges, patients who successfully obtain appointments generally report satisfaction with the care received.
A small number of patients reported negative experiences involving reception staff conduct and administrative processes. These isolated concerns contrast sharply with the predominantly positive feedback regarding the practice's clinical quality, professional approach, and commitment to patient care across the broader patient population.

Terrible customer service and endless waiting times
Their phone support is completely unresponsive. I spent nearly three-quarters of an hour on hold just trying to schedule a simple appointment.

Worst medical practice ever terrible appointment system
I've made numerous attempts to secure an appointment by dialing the specified times of 9 am and 1 pm, as advised by First care practice, yet without success. This continuous failure has left me deeply distressed, shocked, and utterly disheartened by their subpar service.

Terrible healthcare access nightmare at local gp practice
It's utterly ridiculous how challenging it has become to schedule appointments at general practices, especially around typical times like 9 am or noon. The NHS app is equally frustrating. I've attempted over 19 phone calls at 1 am, only to be met with a message about reaching maximum call capacity. This experience has left me profoundly frustrated, angry, and disheartened, ultimately driving me to abandon my previous practice and register with First Care Practice. NHS clinics are transforming into bureaucratic offices, with GPs seeming more like administrative managers rather than healthcare providers. Patients can barely access or communicate with their doctors. What an abysmal service for British citizens who diligently pay their taxes!!!

I've been thoroughly impressed with this medical practice. The physicians, including Dr. Farooq, Dr. Hafar, and Dr. Nadzri, have consistently delivered exceptional care. They are consistently professional, empathetic, and always ensure they provide comprehensive explanations and attentive listening. I must also highlight Miriam Mockbil, who leads the reception team.

Frustrating healthcare system with impossible appointment access
Securing a same-day consultation requires lightning-quick reflexes, with slots vanishing within a single moment at 9am and 1pm. Older individuals are effectively shut out from obtaining immediate medical attention. Attempting to schedule through the NHS app means enduring a wait of one to two months, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Compassionate care when our family needed help most
We contacted the medical practice about my aunt Pervin's persistent illness after her flu, and the staff were incredibly attentive and understanding. They carefully heard our worries and promptly scheduled an appointment within two hours of our call. The physician was highly responsive and addressed my father's health concerns with immediate care. He received a precisely tailored treatment plan for his specific condition. The entire medical team was outstanding, and I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and compassion. A special acknowledgment goes to Ms Miriam for her exceptional support.
