Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reveals a deeply polarised experience at this practice, with stark contrasts between those receiving responsive digital communication and same-day appointments, and those struggling with appointment access and reception courtesy. Digital channels deliver prompt responses, with prescriptions processed within hours and consultations scheduled rapidly for urgent requests. However, the booking experience presents significant barriers: phone lines experience lengthy wait times, the website functionality is frequently unavailable, and the same-day appointment system creates accessibility challenges for working patients and those unable to call precisely at 8am. Reception staff courtesy varies considerably, with some patients reporting dismissive or unhelpful interactions that discourage engagement, whilst others praise welcoming and professional service. Clinical care receives consistent praise for thoroughness and compassion, yet administrative inefficiency undermines the overall experience, with delayed referrals, inconsistent communication about appointment procedures, and limited continuity of care affecting patient confidence.

The practice demonstrates capability in urgent response and clinical attention, evidenced by positive feedback regarding rapid diagnosis, supportive nursing care, and attentive medical professionals. Patients value same-day appointment availability when accessible and appreciate the responsiveness of digital messaging systems. Conversely, systemic issues around appointment scheduling, website reliability, and reception experience create frustration that appears to have intensified post-pandemic. Concerns centre on the restrictive call-on-the-day booking model, which disadvantages those unable to contact the practice at opening time, and the apparent unwillingness of reception staff to facilitate bookings despite availability. These operational barriers contrast sharply with the clinical quality patients experience, suggesting the practice's challenges are primarily administrative rather than clinical in nature.

Difficult to get appointments after raising concerns

I found my experience at this practice to be very disappointing. I have concerns about how patients are treated there. I made a complaint previously, and since then I have felt that accessing care has become more difficult. The overall approach has left me feeling frustrated. I believe more feedback from patients may prompt necessary improvements. I gave the lowest rating because I felt obligated to reflect my dissatisfaction.

Reception staff dismissive when calling for appointments

This practice is probably the worst one in the area. I can't fault the clinical staff themselves, however the reception team are incredibly unhelpful. They seem unwilling to assist and it's much easier for them to turn people away by claiming they're fully booked. Since I've been attending this surgery, the situation has deteriorated, particularly with the front desk staff. On one occasion, a receptionist told me the clinician wouldn't be able to help me, despite not having medical qualifications. I would strongly advise against using this surgery as it simply isn't worth the frustration. Even when calling right at opening time and waiting in a queue, appointments are still refused. I've decided to leave and register elsewhere with a practice that demonstrates a genuine commitment to patient care.

Struggling to get face-to-face appointments here

It's disappointing that after being a patient at this practice for many years, I'm now considering leaving. I've struggled to secure an in-person appointment for quite some time. A recent telephone consultation regarding my medication review was unsatisfactory, as I wasn't contacted as expected, yet my prescriptions were still dispensed without proper discussion. This has caused me some difficulties. The practice used to be excellent, but the standard of care appears to have declined significantly.

Reception staff made me feel unwelcome

I would rate this surgery lower if possible. The reception staff member I encountered was dismissive and unhelpful during my brief visit to drop off an item for a family member. Their manner suggested they found the task inconvenient. I have no intention of returning to this practice.

Quick appointment offered same day online

Excellent service from the practice. I called at 3pm on a weekday afternoon requesting an appointment for my young child and was asked to complete an online form. Within 20 minutes, I received a call offering an appointment later that same day at 5.20pm. I was seen by a junior doctor who was outstanding, demonstrating strong knowledge and taking genuine time to understand my child's symptoms. I received a follow-up call to check on my child's progress and recovery. I felt very reassured throughout and am extremely grateful for the swift and helpful care provided. Thank you to all the team, everyone was wonderful.

Reception blocked my doctor appointment request

Disappointing experience at this medical practice. I arrived at opening time seeking to see a clinician for my health concerns, but was unable to obtain an appointment while it appeared that patients before and after me were able to be seen. I found this inconsistency frustrating and would have appreciated clarification on why my request was handled differently.

Poor experience trying to get a hearing aid referral

I am hoping this will be read by management who can review the training the admin staff are given when referring a patient for a hearing aid test. My husband and I, have been trying to get him a hearing aid test for two weeks. Each time we call we are told the referral has been done, but spec savers said they have not received it. Then today we ascertained that they had sent it to Stourbridge, instead of Kingswinford. So we called Stourbridge, they hadn't received it either. I have sent in total at least four admin request forms asking for someone to call us to discuss, we have not had a single call back, and each time we ring, we are stuck in a queue sometimes up to an hour. A very kind lady at Specsavers has now resolved this on our behalf. She has spoken to the practice who repeatedly said they are sending the referral, but it has apparently been sent to my husbands NHS app, of which he doesn't use, so he was never going to receive the referral. It is worth remembering that not everyone is internet savvy, and do not have mobile phones with apps connected to the internet, and had this been explained last week, we could have avoided wasting everyone's time.

Persistent Dialing Leads to Doctor Appointments

Over recent months, I've been scheduling medical consultations, and while initial phone attempts at 8am weren't always immediately successful, I persistently redialed until the automated system acknowledged my place in the queue. Each time, I was guaranteed a return call, and the receptionist promptly connected me with the required appointment. The service was truly exceptional, with staff consistently treating me with the utmost respect and professionalism. I'm genuinely grateful to the Moss Grove clinics in both Kinver and Kingswinford for providing such outstanding healthcare support - we are indeed fortunate to have such a remarkable medical practice.
