Feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Many patients report positive interactions with reception staff, describing them as welcoming and supportive, alongside responsive care and good appointment availability, including access to urgent appointments at short notice. The team is frequently noted as accommodating and organised, with patients appreciating the continuity of care and attentive clinical approach.
However, concerns centre on the booking system and communication practices. Several patients report frustration with the mandatory online booking platform, particularly for urgent matters, and restrictions on in-person appointments. A significant issue involves communication preferences not being respected, with patients selecting telephone contact but receiving email instead. Some patients also felt the experience was impersonal, citing concerns about clinical assessments conducted without direct consultation.
Additional concerns relate to access restrictions and the overall reception experience, with some patients finding interactions unwelcoming rather than reassuring. These factors have discouraged some from seeking care when needed. Despite these challenges, many patients value the practice's responsiveness and the supportive approach of the team.

ExcellentExcellent practice
I have nothing but praise for Lambourn Surgery. GP surgeries are so often referred to negatively publicly but this practice deserves recognition for providing a personal level of attention and proactive follow up.

Phone team really went the extra mile
I absolutely love this medical practice as they consistently go above and beyond and are incredibly helpful and caring. When I've needed to ring on behalf of a close family member, they've been wonderful, and I genuinely don't know what I'd do without them. I do wish there was a similar facility closer to where I live! Thank you so much to the entire team.

Helpful service that always comes through
This practice is a helpful and competent service and like most NHS services is working very hard to provide an excellent service, which they do. Great work, you're doing well. Sometimes things don't move as quickly as some people might prefer, but you always deliver in the end. Well done.

Quick appointment and felt properly listened to
We are so fortunate to have such an excellent medical practice nearby! I was attended to promptly and my health worries were heard thoroughly, the clinician I saw was incredibly patient and knew precisely what to recommend and got things progressing! The front desk team were delightful as well, thank you 🤩

Reception and pharmacy staff were genuinely helpful
I'm unsure how this practice has received such a low rating, as they truly are excellent, which is why I felt compelled to share my positive experience. The entire team, including reception, pharmacy, nursing staff, and clinical practitioners, have consistently demonstrated exceptional service and helpfulness throughout my interactions with them, and I would rate them all five stars.

Booking system feels invasive and concerning
The booking system is quite unfriendly, and you are required to disclose your health concerns during the process. I have concerns about the security of this system, particularly given that the practice is operated by a private company rather than being NHS-run. I worry that patient information may not be adequately protected and could potentially be shared with third parties. I am dissatisfied with how this system operates overall.

Online booking system feels unnecessarily restrictive
The reception experience has been disappointing. The practice continues to restrict in-person appointments, which feels inconsistent given that other healthcare services operate differently. The requirement to book online, even for urgent matters, creates frustration. Interactions with staff have felt unwelcoming, and visits to the practice tend to be stressful rather than reassuring, which discourages me from seeking care when needed.

Online booking system ignored my preferences
The experience felt quite detached and impersonal. The appointment booking system required using an online platform, with a preference selected for telephone contact, yet all communications arrived through email instead. Additionally, there was concern about the clinical assessment provided without direct consultation or conversation with the patient.
