Feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Many patients report positive interactions with reception staff and clinical teams, highlighting courtesy, respect, and responsiveness in appointment booking and communication. Several patients noted smooth experiences using digital appointment tools and prompt responses to health concerns. The reception experience and care quality received particular praise, with patients describing supportive and attentive interactions during visits.
However, concerns emerge around appointment availability, with some patients reporting difficulty securing online appointments within reasonable timeframes. Access restrictions affecting patients from neighbouring postcodes were raised as a barrier to registration. A minority of patients expressed dissatisfaction with care quality and noted a perceived lack of empathy in their interactions, particularly regarding support for vulnerable groups.
Overall, the practice demonstrates strengths in courtesy and organisation, though appointment availability and access remain areas where patient experience varies considerably.

Terrible healthcare with zero patient compassion
Subpar and extremely ineffective. Multiple incorrect diagnoses and a complete lack of empathy towards patient requirements - particularly challenging for senior citizens and those unable to leave their homes!

Compassionate care and quick appointments every time
I must emphasize how impressed I've been with this medical practice since returning to the region in February. Securing appointments has been completely hassle-free whenever necessary. I'm perplexed by the critical feedback some have shared, as it's impossible to satisfy every single patient, and their primary focus remains appropriately addressing the most pressing medical situations first.

Frustrating wait for simple online medical scheduling
Disappointingly, scheduling an online appointment is currently impossible for the next 35 days.

Friendly and efficient diabetes blood test experience
Dear everyone, I've just completed my Type 2 diabetes blood tests, and I wanted to express my sincere gratitude. The receptionist greeted me with a warm, welcoming smile, which immediately put me at ease. The nurse was equally kind, inviting me into the examination room and engaging in a pleasant conversation while drawing my blood. The entire process was completely comfortable and pain-free. I truly appreciate the staff's professionalism and friendliness. Thank you once more. Stay well.

Lifesaver staff at highfield surgery saved the day
During my friend's trip from the United States, she realized she was without her essential medication. The morning receptionist went above and beyond, assisting us in obtaining her prescription immediately. Surprisingly, other medical practices had declined to help her. I'm uncertain about the reasons behind their refusal. Highfield Surgery absolutely deserves a perfect 5-star rating for their exceptional service.

Quick and efficient nhs healthcare service
Absolutely no problems encountered. I utilized the digital "Ask First" symptom assessment tool last evening regarding a health concern that needed addressing, and Dr Davis contacted me by 11 am today. Couldn't be more satisfied with this NHS service - it's precisely what you hope for.

Unfair medical practice hurts local community access
Why won't this medical practice accept patients from neighboring postcodes that are just a bit outside their usual area? All the surrounding clinics are completely overwhelmed, yet this particular surgery always answers the phone promptly. It seems their approach is to deliberately exclude residents from less affluent neighborhoods. They didn't even bother to properly process my registration attempt or request my basic details, which goes against their professional obligations.
