Patient feedback reveals a mixed experience with significant contrasts between clinical care and administrative services. Medical staff consistently receive praise for compassion, attentiveness, and professional expertise, with many patients expressing confidence in their treatment and follow-up support. Digital services including online consultations and prescription systems are valued for convenience. However, appointment access presents a major challenge, with patients reporting substantial difficulties reaching the practice by phone, lengthy waiting times to speak with staff, and limited availability for timely bookings. Reception experience is polarised, with some patients noting welcoming and courteous staff whilst others describe discourteous behaviour and communication barriers. These administrative obstacles appear to significantly undermine patient satisfaction despite the quality of clinical care provided.
The booking process emerges as a particular pain point, with patients describing frustration around same-day appointment systems, extended phone queues, and unclear online registration procedures. Some patients report waiting weeks for appointments or facing barriers when attempting to access care. Responsiveness to patient needs during the booking stage is inconsistent, and several patients indicate they have sought care elsewhere due to these access difficulties. Whilst some long-term patients acknowledge the practice has maintained continuity of care over many years, newer or less frequent patients appear more likely to encounter frustration with the appointment system and initial contact experience.

Extremely discourteous front desk personnel. Visibly annoyed and sighing dramatically when I attempted to schedule a consultation.

Terrible surgery with unhelpful receptionists
This surgery is absolutely the WORST I've encountered, with the most incompetent receptionists imaginable. They consistently fail to answer phone calls, instead subjecting patients to endless recordings about COVID, vaccination policies, and restrictions. Their automated system leaves you on hold, then typically disconnects, forcing multiple attempts to communicate. Their approach seems designed to discourage patient interaction, with a clear disinterest in actual customer service. While the doctors and nurses appear competent and professional, the front desk staff create an insurmountable barrier to accessing healthcare. Their attitude is shockingly self-centered, prioritizing their own convenience over patient needs. After four consecutive failed attempts to reach anyone, I'm definitively switching medical practices. The receptionists' toxic demeanor and complete lack of patient care make this surgery utterly unacceptable, despite the quality of medical professionals working there.

Couldn't refill my meds online
Abysmal telecommunications support and a completely dysfunctional online platform for medication refills. Customer service is utterly useless and uncooperative.

Rude receptionist hung up on me
I reached out to inquire about becoming a new patient, only to be met with a curt "No, we receive countless such inquiries daily" before the receptionist abruptly ended the call. I'm truly apologetic for the apparent burden of seeking an appointment, which I believed was the standard purpose of contacting a dental office. Surely, there are more considerate and professional ways to communicate such information.

Family doctor for decades and still great
We've been visiting this medical practice for over four decades and have absolutely no complaints. The reception staff are consistently helpful and welcoming, while the doctors are top-notch and highly attentive. Most of the time, you'll see the same physician, which ensures great continuity of care. Overall, this deserves a perfect 5-star rating for their smooth appointment process (just keep pressing that button), reliable call-backs, convenient nurse appointments upstairs, and fantastic staff. A big thank you to the reception team and doctors for providing such an outstanding service.

Finally a doctor who truly listens
My healthcare provider is the first physician who truly comprehends my mental health challenges and genuinely listens to my concerns. They proactively follow up with regular check-ins about my medication's effectiveness. After explaining my past trauma with anonymous calls, they've been considerate enough to contact me directly from a mobile number, respecting my boundaries. Exceptional medical professionals

Phone system drove me crazy today
Preston Park Surgery - GET YOUR PHONE SYSTEM FIXED. How am I supposed to schedule a basic blood test without being able to talk to a human? Your telephone setup has consistently been terrible, and it appears to have deteriorated even further.

Rude doctor ruined my day at clinic
Dr. Brown, please inquire about my life circumstances before talking down to me! I'm a professional with responsibilities and can't adjust my schedule at your convenience. Sergey seems unwelcoming to walk-in patients.
