Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reveals a predominantly positive experience with the practice, particularly regarding clinical care and reception courtesy. Many patients commend the attentive listening, compassionate approach, and professional demeanor of healthcare staff across consultations and procedures. Appointment booking and access have improved notably, with patients reporting efficient scheduling and prompt responses to requests. The online booking system has simplified the appointment process for many visitors.

However, reception experience remains inconsistent. While several staff members receive consistent praise for warmth, helpfulness, and responsiveness, other patients report concerning interactions characterised by rudeness, confrontational behaviour, and administrative errors. Some patients describe feeling dismissed or disrespected at the front desk, which has negatively impacted their overall confidence in the service. Communication barriers and staff inconsistency at reception present ongoing challenges that contrast sharply with the quality of clinical care.

Waiting times and appointment flexibility continue to generate feedback, with some patients noting longer-than-expected waits despite arriving on schedule. A small number of patients have raised concerns about the strictness of appointment policies and the limited availability of face-to-face consultation slots, which they feel restricts access for working individuals. Overall, the practice demonstrates strong clinical capability and moments of exceptional service delivery, though reception consistency and appointment access policies warrant attention.

Compassionate doctor saves the day finally

I typically steer clear of visiting my local medical practice, preferring to research my symptoms online initially. Prior to the pandemic, the reception staff seemed inexperienced, appearing freshly graduated and lacking the skills to interact professionally with patients or manage telephone communications. Since Covid, there's been a modest improvement with digital services and some receptionists displaying a more courteous demeanor. During a recent consultation, the appointment was utterly unsatisfactory. The physician failed to conduct a physical examination or adequately address my health concerns, leaving me feeling dismissed and compelled to schedule another consultation. In stark contrast, my recent appointment with Dr Jatinder Singh was exceptional. He listened intently to my description of symptoms, performed a comprehensive examination, adjusted my medication, and maintained excellent communication throughout our interaction. I departed feeling genuinely supported and confident that my health was being taken seriously. I want to express my sincere appreciation to Dr Singh for his outstanding professionalism and compassionate approach, and I sincerely hope this level of patient-focused care can be promoted throughout the entire medical practice.

Worst medical receptionist ever unprofessional and rude

I am utterly exasperated and deeply worried following my recent interaction with Busrah Thair, a receptionist at our local medical practice. Her conduct was nothing short of appalling—she completely disregarded my presence at the desk, displaying an astonishing level of rudeness and contempt. To make matters worse, she provided me with a blood test form dated January 2024, despite it currently being August 2025. Such a glaring mistake is completely unacceptable, particularly in a healthcare environment. It is deeply troubling that an individual in such a critical position could demonstrate such carelessness and lack of attention to detail, not to mention her abysmal interpersonal skills. I felt entirely marginalized and invisible as a patient, which is the polar opposite of what one anticipates when seeking medical assistance. The profound unprofessionalism and blatant disregard shown in presenting outdated and potentially critical medical documentation has left me feeling deeply unsettled and frustrated. This encounter has raised significant doubts about the overall standard of service at this practice, and I am prepared to take decisive action if these issues are not promptly addressed. Should I not receive a satisfactory resolution or see meaningful improvement, I will have no alternative but to explore changing healthcare providers. I demand a basic level of care, attentiveness, and respect from an institution that purportedly prioritizes patient welfare.

Compassionate care and thorough health support

I've visited this medical center twice now, and both appointments have been exceptional! During my initial registration, the GP assistant went above and beyond by scheduling comprehensive tests and health screenings—something I'd never experienced when changing healthcare providers before. My second visit was with Nurse practitioner Beatrice, who was incredibly compassionate and empathetic. She listened attentively to my concerns and promptly arranged the necessary tests and checks without requiring me to extensively justify my reasons. In previous healthcare experiences, I often felt compelled to dramatically emphasize my medical needs. However, at this practice, the approach has been refreshingly supportive and straightforward so far.

Life-saving care at porters avenue clinic

My mother-in-law experienced exceptional treatment at Porters Avenue when her leg became severely inflamed and painful. The receptionist was incredibly supportive and compassionate, quickly arranging an urgent consultation that seemed to recognize the potential seriousness of her condition. Upon arrival, the physician immediately directed us to the emergency department, where medical professionals diagnosed a leg blood clot. I'm convinced that without the prompt and efficient response from the Porters Avenue staff, the situation could have had a much more serious and potentially life-threatening outcome for my mother-in-law.
