Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Many patients report positive interactions with clinical staff who demonstrate attentive listening, thorough consultations, and compassionate care. Reception teams receive particular praise for courtesy and helpfulness, with several patients noting genuine efforts to accommodate appointment requests. However, significant concerns emerge around appointment access and booking processes. Patients consistently report difficulties securing same-day or timely appointments, with long waiting times both in person and on the telephone. The phone system presents particular challenges, with callers experiencing extended hold periods and inappropriate transfers. Reception experience varies notably, with some patients encountering dismissive or unhelpful attitudes, particularly when requesting appointments or raising concerns.
Appointment availability remains a widespread frustration, with patients noting that slots fill quickly and access becomes increasingly difficult outside early morning hours. Several patients report that obtaining appointments requires persistence and multiple contact attempts. Communication quality during consultations is generally praised when appointments are secured, though some patients felt their concerns were not adequately explored or prioritised. A small number of patients raised concerns about respectful and dignified care for specific patient groups.
Overall, the practice demonstrates clinical competence and individual staff members receive commendation for their dedication and professionalism. However, organisational challenges around appointment access, phone system efficiency, and consistency in reception experience require attention to improve patient satisfaction and service accessibility.

BadSt Georges Crescent surgery is a disgrace to the British NHS
I have been using this surgery for over 20 years and it has constantly bought me neglect from the Doctors and extremely below bar practising on the Doctors behalf. Since Dr A. and his wife Mrs A. left the surgery the practice has dramatically gone down hill. I used to only wait a handful of minutes if they were late for an appointment, they were great doctors who took pride in their work and there was proof of that for their patients. In the last decade since they have left the practice it has gone drastically downhill. After the A.'s left I was saw by three different Doctors who told me that my incurable diabeties type 1 had been cured because they lazily checked my average sugars and couldn't be bothered to investigate properly. One of these doctors told me to stop taking my insulin for 2 weeks because he believed I didn't need it any more. I never received an apology from any of the doctors on behalf of the surgery or nothing. No apology what so ever. Not only that but waiting times have increased to 30 minutes plus every time you get an appointment. IF you can get an appointment that is, usually the surgery make you wait up to a month and over to see a professional. Which is ridiculous for someone who has irritating skin conditions like me, something that the lazy Dr P. has told me I should be paying for myself even though I can not afford it. Dr P. also told me that 'fasting' would improve my life and solve all my problems with my skin condition. Which is malarkey at best, he was trying to get me to follow his beliefs and practices in order to solve a medically resolvable situation. Needless to say, I can not trust this Doctors surgery any more, I would not recommend it to my family or friends or anybody who wants a safe, healthy and decent future. Please do not register at this surgery as you and your family will pay the price over time. They are lazy with prescriptions, they are shambolic with waiting times and the doctors there are not looking out for what is best for the CUSTOMER which is ME and YOU because we pay their wages with our taxes. Join me everybody in making this surgery extinct by leaving and joining a practice that care today. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTORS!

Felt heard and action taken despite wait times
Like many medical practices, there can be lengthy waiting periods before seeing a clinician. However, once the appointment begins, the healthcare professional demonstrates genuine kindness and engaging conversation skills, showing strong intuition and treating patient concerns with appropriate seriousness. The consultation includes relevant investigations and onward referrals, leaving patients with confidence that their issues are being actively addressed.

Felt heard during emergency appointment
I had an emergency appointment and the clinician listened carefully to what I was experiencing. They prescribed medication and antibiotics to help address my concerns. It was refreshing to see a healthcare professional who genuinely took the time to hear what I had to say.

Helpful support when mental health services unavailable
Attended the surgery today with my daughter who is experiencing significant wellbeing concerns and has been unable to access support from specialist services. The appointment was very helpful, with the clinician providing thoughtful guidance and demonstrating a genuine commitment to supporting her care. We left feeling encouraged about the path forward, and a follow-up appointment was arranged for a few weeks later to monitor progress.

Surgery dismissed concerns before hospital diagnosis
My sister experienced pain starting early in the week, and I needed to take her to hospital the following day. At the hospital, she received a diagnosis of a serious abdominal infection along with a kidney stone. I felt that the surgery had not adequately addressed her concerns, and the hospital medical team acknowledged that her care could have been better managed initially.
