Rude staff and impossible appointment system
My interaction with Lynsey was unsatisfactory. She advised me to schedule a prescription review. After spending three days attempting to book by phone, I visited the surgery and was informed by the receptionist that no appointments were available, and I should call back after 8am. I explained that I had already tried calling, and by 8:20am all slots were gone, and twice I couldn't even reach anyone in time. I was then subjected to aggressive accusations of dishonesty. She loudly declared she would summon the practice manager, to which I agreed, knowing I had done nothing wrong. He arrived and insisted we move to a private room, seemingly to prevent other patients from overhearing. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the receptionist's treatment and stated my intention to file a complaint with the NHS. He proceeded to offer various excuses for the staff's behavior and the surgery's management. After several minutes of justifications, I realized the matter would remain unresolved, and I reiterated my plan to complain. His response was to discourage pursuing the complaint. I requested the door be unlocked and departed. I have subsequently filed a complaint with the NHS. As a 73-year-old pensioner with arthritis and partial sight, I have previously been forced to walk one and a half miles and queue outside the surgery at 7:30am in heavy rain just to secure a doctor's appointment.

Early morning quick fix for my health
Called early morning, found myself seventh in line, but quickly scheduled a callback. Received the call before 11, consulted with the physician, and had my prescription transmitted to the pharmacy in under 60 minutes.

Quick Appointments, Caring Staff at Busy Clinic
The medical team here is exceptional, from physicians to nursing staff and administrative personnel. Although the clinic operates at full capacity, the employees demonstrate remarkable dedication, with a slight deduction in rating due to the challenge of securing timely appointment slots. Specifically, Nurse Practitioner Alyssa and Dr. Lavender stand out as outstanding professionals - compassionate, understanding, and genuinely committed to patient care.

Quick and Thorough Morning Checkup with Dr Francis
Fantastic consultation today. Underwent a comprehensive prostate screening performed with utmost precision by Dr. Francis. Additionally, I sought guidance regarding a trigger finger condition.

Quick help after a long wait
Experienced a bit of a wait on the phone, approximately 10 minutes, but once connected, the receptionist was friendly and supportive. Shortly after, within an hour, the general practitioner reached out, listened attentively to my concerns, and collaboratively established a suitable treatment approach.

Quick help from Dr Wong after surgery
My consultation with Dr Wong via phone, conducted early in the morning, was concise and informative. He prescribed a new medication to address my post-surgical pain management. Impressively, I received the prescribed tablets within just six hours and am prepared to begin my treatment. I am deeply appreciative of Dr Wong's swift and attentive telephone consultation, during which he carefully listened to my concerns and provided compassionate support through this challenging recovery phase.
