Feedback reveals significant challenges with appointment availability and booking experience, with patients reporting lengthy waiting times on phone lines, difficulty securing timely consultations, and frequent cancellations or rescheduling. Communication barriers are evident, particularly regarding phone responsiveness and reception staff interactions, with some patients describing dismissive or unhelpful responses when attempting to access care. Several reviews highlight concerns about rushed consultations and perceived lack of attention during appointments.
In contrast, positive feedback consistently recognises skilled medical professionals who deliver compassionate and professional care when patients do access appointments. Reception teams and clinical staff are praised for courtesy and professionalism by those who have had positive interactions. The scheduling system itself presents operational challenges, with early morning booking windows creating access difficulties for working patients and those with caring responsibilities.
Overall, the practice demonstrates clinical competence but faces substantial organisational pressures affecting patient access and communication. Systemic issues around appointment availability, phone service responsiveness, and booking procedures appear to be the primary drivers of patient dissatisfaction, whilst the quality of care delivered during consultations receives more favourable comment.

Nightmare Reception Ruined My Whole Surgery Experience
The absolute worst experience imaginable - this surgical service doesn't even merit a single star. While the medical personnel themselves seem competent, navigating their utterly dysfunctional communication system is an exercise in pure frustration that borders on the absurd.

Awful wait, then hung up on us
A thoroughly repulsive customer experience...my partner endured almost two hours waiting on hold for an appointment, finally reached the top of the queue (after starting at tenth place), and the moment the call connected, they were abruptly disconnected! For what claims to be a "medical service," their professionalism and competence are shockingly inadequate.

Long Wait and Understaffed Clinic
Excessive patient volume coupled with insufficient personnel creates an environment where delivering quality care becomes unattainable.

Doctor Googled My Rare Condition
Hospital's standards are plummeting to rock bottom. It's a dire situation when a medical professional lacks the basic knowledge to even spell out a patient's medical condition and resorts to searching online for information.

Shoulder Pain Dragging on for Weeks
After experiencing an injury in February, I've been through four phone consultations with doctors. I finally secured a physiotherapy appointment within four days and underwent an ultrasound of my shoulder. The doctors have the test results, but the reception staff claim they can't disclose details because they lack medical training. I'm told I need to see a doctor, yet they've deemed my case "not urgent" - how can non-medical personnel make such an assessment? I now have a telephone appointment scheduled in three weeks. The painkillers are ineffective, and I'm suffering sleepless nights due to constant pain. It's frustrating that they consider this situation "not urgent" - I shudder to imagine the response if my condition were truly critical.

Long Wait Frustrates HGV Driver's Health Needs
My son drives a heavy goods vehicle and begins his shift at 5am. He called today seeking a doctor's appointment and was instructed to arrive at 9:30, which is impossible due to his distance from Warsop. The earliest available slot is 31st August, and it's currently only the 17th - this is completely unacceptable. Moreover, he was informed he won't be seen at the hospital because the staff are adding a note to his file about the 31st August appointment and are unwilling to accommodate his needs. This demonstrates a total lack of empathy towards patients, which is absolutely frustrating.

Terrible service at this doctors surgery
Absolutely appalling medical practice that refuses to help me get medication and seems completely incompetent. It's high time an investigation was conducted into this clinic, where the physicians consistently avoid patient contact by using their front desk staff as a barrier, making it virtually impossible to receive any meaningful medical attention.

Compassionate Care When My Child Was Sick
People often pay attention to negative feedback, but in this instance, I sincerely hope they'll hear about the POSITIVE... When my child became ill at the medical center, every single staff member, from physicians to nurses to front desk personnel, has been absolutely fantastic, and I cannot express my gratitude enough... continue performing such incredible work!!!

Tough to Schedule, but Solid Care
Skilled physicians, but scheduling can be challenging. Like many medical practices, securing a timely consultation requires patience and persistence.

Unhelpful care after car accident with kids
Their phone support is consistently unresponsive, and scheduling appointments seems impossible. After experiencing a car accident with my children, the staff's advice was shockingly unhelpful - they suggested self-medication and persistent appointment-seeking, while discouraging emergency room visits due to overcrowding. A week passed before we finally secured a GP consultation, during which the doctor appeared indifferent and neglectful. He failed to prescribe any pain relief for my children and only provided me with a minimal 3-day pain medication supply. His dismissive recommendation to return in 3 days if needed was frustrating. When we eventually managed another appointment two weeks later, we were abruptly told that additional medication was not an option. The entire experience was completely unacceptable and demonstrated a profound lack of medical care and compassion.

Impossible to Reach Customer Service
Utterly appalling phone service - I've been attempting to reach them for 20 minutes straight with zero response. Is anyone actually working or paying attention?

Wasted Trip: Blood Test Frustration
I recently underwent a blood test to investigate the source of these burning sensations that were causing me significant anxiety. Upon calling to retrieve my test results, I discovered that my blood sample is unusable, and I'm now required to wait an additional week for another blood draw. This situation is completely unacceptable and demonstrates a serious lack of professionalism.
