Online booking system works smoothly here

Wonderful practice with excellent medical staff and equally impressive nursing team. Appointments are readily available and straightforward to obtain. Although the current booking process involves completing forms online in the morning prior to consultation, the system functions effectively overall.

Reception team helpful during busy flu season

The assistance and attention we have received from this practice over the past week has been wonderful! My infant and I have both contracted a significant viral illness during the challenging seasonal period. The clinical staff members have been remarkably supportive, comprehensive, and clear in their explanations during our consultations. We are very grateful for the dedication and commitment they demonstrate during patient appointments. I would also like to extend our appreciation to the administrative team for their helpfulness during this particularly busy period.

Online submissions beat waiting on the phone queue

Three years on from my initial feedback about the practice, my views remain consistent. My spouse and I have consistently experienced high-quality care and support. The clinical staff demonstrate genuine compassion and attentiveness, and we feel fortunate with the standard of service provided. The reception team have also been consistently professional and supportive. The introduction of the online submission system for appointments has significantly altered my initial concerns about this feature. I was initially apprehensive, but after using it several times, I found the process straightforward and the practice's turnaround time impressively swift, typically within around ten minutes. This compares favourably to the previous experience of waiting on hold for extended periods. I have also retained the option to call later in the day should I need to discuss something or arrange an appointment. Thank you to the practice for these improvements.
