Staff listened and arranged same-day appointment
I would strongly recommend this practice. I have been a patient here for approximately two years. The team members are exceptionally friendly and deliver outstanding care by genuinely paying attention to what patients require. I was very appreciative of being able to secure an appointment on the same day when my child needed medical attention. The clinician was attentive, heard me out completely, and acted quickly to arrange a referral to a specialist. I am grateful for the skilled and caring approach to treatment provided.

Reception team made me feel genuinely welcomed
Riverhouse surgery is brilliant! Highly recommend. I used to attend a different practice where I'd never see the same clinician twice and had a negative experience during an appointment regarding a health concern. Since switching to Riverhouse I feel genuinely cared for and supported, the front desk team are lovely and welcoming (makes a huge difference). I can book my preferred clinician through the app, my partner also has his preferred clinician. We've been given referrals when needed and really listened to.

Friendly staff who genuinely care about patients
I have had a consistently positive experience with the medical professionals at my surgery. The clinicians I have seen demonstrate strong clinical knowledge and expertise in diagnosis and treatment planning. They approach patient care with genuine warmth and friendliness, which contributes to a reassuring experience during consultations. I have been a patient at this practice for many years and have remained loyal throughout this time. Several members of my family also attend the same surgery, and I believe it provides excellent care compared to other healthcare settings I have encountered. The practice has maintained high standards over the decades, and I have always felt confident in the level of care provided. All the clinicians I have consulted, regardless of their background, have demonstrated strong clinical skills and a genuine commitment to patient wellbeing. They appear motivated by a sincere desire to help patients rather than other considerations. Each member of the medical team I have seen has been dedicated and thorough in their approach. Beyond the clinical staff, the wider team at the practice consistently demonstrates excellent customer service. The reception and administrative staff are always helpful, approachable, and maintain a welcoming atmosphere. Everyone at the practice contributes to making it a pleasant place to receive care. Based on my long-standing experience, I believe this practice delivers high-quality healthcare and support.

Fast booking and staff who actually listen
I recently made the switch to this GP practice after experiencing repeated disappointment with my previous provider. I had concerns that similar issues might occur elsewhere, but the standard of care and attention I've received here has proven to be exceptional. Every member of staff I've encountered has demonstrated genuine friendliness and attentiveness, taking time to listen to my concerns without dismissing them. They've established an impressive level of service that I'm confident will continue, and I'm pleased to have found a practice I'm comfortable with going forward, though naturally I hope to require fewer visits in the future. The appointment booking process is straightforward and convenient, avoiding unnecessary complexity. The option to book appointments in person is particularly valuable and represents a refreshingly practical approach that many practices seem to have overlooked.

Staff listened and appointments ran on time
I have been attending this surgery for many years and would strongly recommend it. The entire team demonstrates friendliness and a genuine willingness to help patients. The clinician I regularly see is excellent, consistently dedicating time to listen carefully and developing individualised care plans to address whatever concerns I bring to appointments. The appointment schedule tends to run punctually, meaning I rarely experience significant waiting times. I also value the availability of telephone consultations for minor issues that do not necessitate an in-person visit. I can typically secure an appointment with my preferred clinician within a fortnight, though alternative appointments with other clinicians are often available sooner. I am very satisfied with the overall service provided by this practice.

Caring practice that listens to concerns
Excellent medical practice. The staff demonstrate genuine compassion and attentiveness to what patients require. As with many NHS facilities, there is a tendency to address the immediate concern and then conclude the appointment. Patients often need to take an active role in requesting ongoing care plans and subsequent reviews. This approach is not perfect, but it reflects how many NHS services operate.
