Clinical care at this practice is consistently praised, with patients highlighting excellent professional expertise, comprehensive consultations, and compassionate healthcare delivery. The clinical team demonstrates responsiveness and genuine commitment to patient support, with many patients reporting unhurried appointments and thorough assessments. However, reception experience presents a contrasting picture, with recurring concerns about courtesy and communication. Multiple patients describe reception staff as dismissive, unhelpful, or lacking warmth, though some recent reviews acknowledge the demanding nature of the role.
Appointment access and booking experience show mixed results, with some patients securing same-day appointments and prompt callbacks, while others report significant delays in prescription processing, difficulty obtaining in-person consultations, and inconsistent information about opening hours. Communication barriers and service boundary issues have also been noted, alongside concerns about diagnostic accuracy in remote consultations and medication provision challenges. The practice appears to operate under capacity constraints, affecting service delivery consistency.
When patients do reach clinical staff, they generally report positive experiences characterised by attentiveness and professional care. The contrast between clinical and reception experiences suggests that targeted improvements in reception team training and communication could significantly enhance overall patient satisfaction, particularly given the practice's demonstrated clinical strengths.

Confusing location with another practice nearby
It was confusing having two surgeries located on the same street, each with a pharmacy attached.

Receptionist went above and beyond for me
During an afternoon contact with the surgery in my capacity as a community healthcare professional, I received exceptional assistance from a particularly helpful member of the reception team who went the extra mile to support me.

Helpful team took my chest pain seriously
I recently experienced chest discomfort and contacted my GP practice. The entire team demonstrated exceptional helpfulness throughout my visit, including the reception staff, the clinician who responded to my initial call, the healthcare professional who performed my diagnostic test, and the doctor I consulted in person. Everyone showed considerable patience and conducted a comprehensive assessment.

Long-term patient, but receptionists could be warmer
I have been a patient at this practice for a considerable length of time. The clinical staff have consistently provided excellent care and have always been courteous and unhurried during appointments. However, I feel that the reception team could occasionally benefit from adopting a warmer approach when interacting with patients.

Bad!
Reception staff didn't listen to my requests
Avoid at all cost !!! Rude and unpleasant clinical staff member. Simple requests appear to be difficult for certain team members to comprehend. Despite expressing a preference not to receive calls from this particular staff member on multiple occasions, contact continues and causes distress to my family. As a carer, the practice makes my responsibilities considerably more challenging due to what I perceive as a lack of understanding. My own healthcare provider and practice are far superior and I feel sympathy for the patients at this surgery.

Receptionists could be friendlier, doctors are supportive
Sometimes the receptionists can be a bit rude but the clinical staff are excellent. Particularly one clinician who is very supportive. Another clinician has also been very supportive. These two are my favourite healthcare professionals.

The clinical staff are excellent, however the front desk team could benefit from additional training based on my recent visit.
