Feedback on this GP practice reveals a deeply divided patient experience, with significant operational challenges overshadowing pockets of clinical excellence. The most consistent concern across reviews is appointment access, with patients reporting difficulty reaching the practice by phone, booking system failures, and extended waiting times for consultations. The online booking platform and Ask My GP service are frequently described as unreliable and prone to crashing, leaving patients unable to secure timely appointments. Reception experience emerges as a particular pain point, with multiple accounts of unhelpful, dismissive, or discourteous interactions that compound frustration with access difficulties.
Communication breakdowns are widely reported, including delayed callbacks, prescription processing failures, and poor coordination between the practice and pharmacy. Several patients describe feeling unsupported when seeking urgent care or follow-up on medical concerns. However, individual doctors and nursing staff receive consistent praise for compassionate care, attentiveness, and professional expertise. Patients highlight specific clinicians who demonstrated genuine concern for their wellbeing and provided thorough, supportive consultations.
The contrast between clinical care quality and systemic service failures suggests that while medical professionals at the practice are capable and caring, organisational issues around appointment availability, booking systems, reception courtesy, and communication responsiveness require urgent attention to improve the overall patient experience.

Dangerous medical care endangers patient's health
Medical professionals incorrectly dispensing prescriptions. Unavailable for follow-up consultations even after administering potentially harmful medication, compromising patient safety.

Terrible healthcare with zero compassion or service
Utterly frustrating! Complete disregard for patient well-being. Absolutely no communication - calls go unanswered, scheduling is impossible with wait periods stretching to weeks. Medical staff are unprofessional, with doctors and front desk personnel abruptly terminating phone conversations. The reception team displays shocking insensitivity, mockingly giggling at patients experiencing health concerns.

Terrible healthcare experience with unhelpful doctor
These medical professionals are absolutely the worst in the entire UK. Steer clear. Dr Tanya Beaumont seemed desperate to rush me out of the consultation. She completely disregarded my health concerns and hastily prescribed medications that had zero relevance to my actual condition. She even candidly acknowledged that the NHS merely masks symptoms instead of addressing underlying health issues. For approximately 8 months, I've been bounced around by Limelight, with A&E redirecting me back and forth, and specialists scheduling referrals on absurdly long 14-month waiting lists that inexplicably get cancelled. Throughout this entire period, my medical situation has seen absolutely no improvement. This will definitely be my final interaction with this practice. As I'm composing this review, I've just received a message from Dr Tanya Beaumont indicating she's prescribed an entirely different medication that bears no resemblance to what we discussed during this morning's appointment! Completely unacceptable!

Terrible service and long wait times
Steer clear of this medical clinic. My spouse endured more than 60 minutes waiting for his planned consultation, only to be informed that the physician was occupied and his appointment needed to be rearranged. This situation is completely unacceptable!

Fantastic service with caring and professional staff
I've been a customer for 4 years now, and I genuinely want to highlight the exceptional service I've experienced throughout this time. The entire team has consistently demonstrated remarkable helpfulness. From my personal observations, I've witnessed how reception staff endure unfair treatment from some individuals, despite the fact that they are simply attempting to perform their professional duties diligently.

Frustrating medical experience with terrible communication
After my surgical procedure three months back, my surgeon dispatched a recommendation for medication. Despite this, I was forced to repeatedly contact the clinic and voice my frustration before finally receiving the prescribed treatment. The entire process was utterly disorganized and completely unacceptable.

Compassionate doctor eased my worries perfectly
I was grateful for the prompt scheduling of my appointment and the Doctor who was incredibly kind and supportive, helping to alleviate my concerns. During such challenging and anxiety-inducing circumstances, this compassionate care was truly valuable.

Terrible experience with unprofessional and slow service
Absolutely terrible service. The management shows no interest in making things better. Despite having a scheduled appointment near 9 AM, you're still stuck waiting for an excessive amount of time. Each recent visit has involved being kept waiting for over 40 minutes. Their customer service is completely unacceptable.

Worst medical practice ever avoid at all costs
Absolutely terrible service with an incredibly long wait time just to schedule an appointment. They persistently direct you to their website, which they clearly never monitor or update. I strongly advise against using this practice—you'll waste countless hours trying to get seen. Look for a different healthcare provider that actually values patient communication and accessibility.

Terrible medical service with endless frustrating delays
This medical practice is far from satisfactory. Getting an appointment is incredibly challenging, and my GP seems practically nonexistent. On three separate occasions, while attempting to book an appointment, their system has crashed in less than three minutes. When I've called to schedule a slot, I was dismissed and told to retry the following morning. This approach is completely unacceptable, especially for patients needing urgent medical attention. They're clearly overwhelmed with too many patients and insufficient medical staff, causing patients to suffer needlessly. Their communication is abysmal - they promise callback, which can take up to three days, demonstrating a total lack of patient care. This situation has persisted for years, with seemingly no intention to improve. The pharmacy side is equally problematic. I've actually transferred to another chemist because they consistently fail to stock complete medication orders. Despite having computerized systems, there's zero coordination between doctors and pharmacists. A doctor will declare medication is ready, but the pharmacy claims they haven't received the prescription, leaving patients in perpetual limbo. This entire system desperately needs immediate overhaul. Absolutely deserving of one star.

Terrible medical experience with unprofessional staff everywhere
A disastrous surgical experience marked by total patient neglect. The physicians appear incompetent and consistently demonstrate a cavalier attitude, rushing through consultations with an evident desire to expedite patient interactions. Each medical professional seems more interested in rapid patient turnover than providing quality care. The front desk staff exhibits alarming communication deficiencies, becoming visibly agitated when challenged about their lack of clarity. The entire facility presents a facade of professionalism that crumbles upon closer inspection, giving the impression of being nothing more than a bureaucratic cash grab. Despite an attractive exterior, the internal operations are fundamentally broken, with no genuine commitment to patient welfare or medical excellence.

Terrible healthcare practice with dangerous communication failures
This organization demonstrates complete professional ineptitude and fails to meet basic standards. I've experienced referrals being completely neglected and ultimately transmitted a staggering 11 months behind schedule. Their referral processing mechanism is fundamentally broken, with requests seemingly randomly assessed by clinicians, and a glaring communication breakdown where front desk staff consistently provide incorrect information. They offer no constructive guidance or meaningful assistance, which unfairly overshadows the rare staff members who actually demonstrate exceptional commitment.
