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.

Thorough care and genuine listening from start to finish
I would like to express my appreciation for the care my mother received during her recent visit. The clinician was very thorough, took time to listen to her concerns, and arranged all the appropriate tests that were needed. I have been attending this practice for many years and am pleased to see that the personal and attentive approach to patient care is being maintained, which is something all healthcare professionals should strive to provide.

Hard to book appointments when you need them
The clinical staff member I saw was very friendly and assisted me in obtaining a referral I required. The reception team handles a considerable workload, but the main limitation appears to be the system itself. There would benefit from having additional clinical staff available to see more patients, as it is quite challenging to secure an appointment, particularly when you need one at a time that works best for your schedule. From my perspective, it often seems as though there is only one clinician working at any given time.

Professional consultation restored our confidence
I have been attending this surgery throughout my life, and at 74 years old, I can say it was once considered an excellent practice in the area for many years. However, in recent times, it has lost my confidence across various aspects of its service. That said, I recently had an appointment and was pleasantly surprised by the professional approach demonstrated during the consultation. It was genuinely one of the best experiences I have had in a considerable time, and I am hopeful that the surgery will be able to restore itself to the high standards it once maintained.

Receptionists always make time when it matters
I have been attending this practice for more than two decades. Although circumstances have evolved and securing appointments has become more challenging in recent years, it is important to acknowledge that this is a widespread issue across the sector. I consider myself fortunate to have access to a surgery where I feel genuinely supported and cared for. The entire team consistently demonstrates friendliness and professionalism, and the front desk staff have consistently made genuine efforts to accommodate me when my needs have been urgent. The clinician I see is wonderful. They take time to listen carefully, offer reassurance, and demonstrate genuine compassion. They are an exceptional healthcare professional and I hope they continue with the practice.
