Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience at the practice, with strong positive sentiment around reception courtesy, responsiveness, and professional care delivery, balanced against significant concerns regarding appointment availability and waiting times. Many patients consistently praise the welcoming environment, courteous reception staff, and compassionate approach from clinical professionals. Booking experience and digital systems receive particular commendation, with patients noting convenient appointment access and efficient online processes. However, a notable subset of feedback highlights substantial challenges with appointment scheduling, extended waiting periods, and inconsistent communication from reception staff. Some patients report difficulty securing timely appointments, lengthy waits without explanation, and reception communication that varies significantly in quality and clarity.

Referral delays and procedural clarity issues emerge as additional concerns in several reviews, with patients describing frustration around unclear booking requirements and slow specialist referral processing. Despite these access barriers, patients frequently express confidence in the clinical care itself, with doctors and nursing staff receiving consistent praise for their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine commitment to patient wellbeing. The practice demonstrates particular strength in clinical skill and compassionate care delivery, though operational efficiency around appointment access and reception consistency requires attention to ensure a uniformly positive patient experience.

Terrible service and unprofessional customer support

Barely deserves even a single star. Scheduling is impossible with zero availability beyond the current day. The telephone support was incredibly discourteous. Complete garbage.

Finally relief from my stubborn eczema

I've found the most incredible medical professionals I've ever encountered. After enduring years of debilitating eczema and consistently being denied dermatology referrals, I finally joined this practice and was immediately connected with a dermatology specialist. I'm overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude. Heartfelt thanks to the entire team for their exceptional dedication and compassionate care!

Worst medical experience ever frustrating and time-consuming

Scheduling an appointment feels like an endless wait, with the promised time slipping away and no explanation for the prolonged delay. The parking situation is equally frustrating, seemingly reserved for a select few. The entire experience can only be described as a complete disaster.

Fantastic medical care that exceeded all expectations

I must say, this medical practice is truly exceptional - the front desk staff and doctors are incredibly accommodating and always ready to answer any queries - they're remarkably professional and upbeat during phone interactions - their NHS online system for medication refills is straightforward and user-friendly - I'm recently registered here and it's worlds apart from my previous practice where I was a patient for three decades, and I'm absolutely delighted with my decision to switch after moving 😁

Endless waiting and zero transparency at clinic

The waiting period is unbearably long, and the staff consistently makes excuses about doctors being in emergencies. This has been their go-to explanation for years, and it's getting old.

Skilled phlebotomist makes blood tests a breeze

I've had Katy perform my blood draws on two occasions. Given my completely tattooed arm, I deliberately assessed her abilities since some medical staff struggle to locate veins and become frustrated. Katy navigated the process flawlessly and her technique was so smooth that I experienced zero discomfort. She's not only personable but also demonstrates exceptional professionalism. My sincere appreciation goes to Katy 👍🏻

Dangerous medical negligence at local gp clinic

I'm experiencing a nightmare with this general practice, staffed by completely incompetent medical professionals. They delegated my complex skin condition to a nurse who recklessly prescribed a steroid cream that triggered inflammation. Upon my return, I demanded to see a proper doctor who confirmed the nurse's incorrect diagnosis. As a result, I'm now left with permanent white and black spots scarring my neck that will disfigure me for life. Additionally, I suffered a finger injury involving ligament damage. The GP delayed my referral by over six months, which has now rendered my ligament injury irreparable and permanently debilitating. An absolutely horrific encounter with these negligent healthcare providers. I intend to file a complaint with the NHS, though I hold no hope they'll take meaningful action. My advice to others: be vigilant and seek multiple medical opinions. Your health is at stake.
