Clinical staff at the practice are consistently praised for their professional expertise, thorough assessments, and compassionate approach to patient care. Patients report positive experiences with appointment availability and responsiveness to health concerns, with many noting that clinicians listen carefully and arrange appropriate referrals and treatments. The reception experience presents a more mixed picture, with some patients describing welcoming and considerate interactions, whilst others have reported instances of dismissive or unhelpful courtesy, particularly when dealing with urgent or sensitive matters. Telephone access remains a recurring concern, with patients noting difficulty reaching the practice and frustration with callback waiting times and the appointment booking system requiring text submission rather than direct phone discussion.
Where reception interactions have been positive, patients feel supported and valued. However, several accounts highlight gaps in empathy during vulnerable moments, such as when patients are anxious or unwell. The practice environment and clinical consultations, including online and telephone options, are frequently described as efficient and reassuring. Long-term patients consistently report confidence in the service and continuity of care, though some express concerns about care frequency for chronic conditions and the overall responsiveness to patient concerns.

Finally got the help I needed here
This is the finest medical practice I've attended throughout my time in various locations. Before relocating here, I had spent years struggling to access a particular treatment that I was confident would help me, and the team here managed to resolve this matter promptly. As a token of my appreciation, I make sure to send them a card and chocolates annually 😊

Appointment system makes calling pointless
I find it quite frustrating that the appointment booking system requires submitting details about your concern via text rather than being able to discuss it directly with reception staff over the phone. The wait time for a callback can extend to a week, which I find disappointing. In my experience living in various parts of the country, I haven't encountered this approach at other surgeries before.
