Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Medical professionals consistently receive praise for their expertise, compassion, and responsiveness to patient concerns. Many patients report positive experiences with appointment booking, describing seamless scheduling and efficient access to care. The online platform for non-urgent queries has been noted as a valuable resource, with patients appreciating swift and informative responses from practitioners. Administrative and nursing staff are frequently commended for their welcoming atmosphere and professional approach.

However, reception experience emerges as a significant concern across multiple reviews. Patients report inconsistent courtesy from front desk personnel, describing interactions as brusque, dismissive, and disrespectful. Issues include interrupting patients during phone calls, rushing to end conversations, and unhelpful responses to routine requests. These reception-related concerns appear to undermine the positive care experience provided by medical staff, with some patients noting the contrast between excellent clinical care and poor reception courtesy.

Appointment availability presents occasional constraints, with some patients experiencing delays in securing consultations. While most reviews acknowledge the practice's operational challenges, a few patients expressed frustration with responsiveness to medical concerns. Overall, the practice demonstrates strong clinical capability and organisation, though reception courtesy and consistency in patient interactions require attention.

Amazing care at my local medical practice

Absolutely phenomenal medical practice! Having resided in numerous locations, I've encountered subpar healthcare services, but this surgery stands out as the absolute pinnacle. My experiences have consistently been top-notch. They've been incredibly accommodating, nearly always scheduling appointments for both myself and my child on the same day. Sadly, after relocating to Romsey, I'm compelled to switch surgeries - otherwise, I would have remained loyal to this exceptional medical team forever.

Best medical care in andover

I've encountered some challenging situations at other medical practices in the Andover area previously. However, for the past four years, my experience with St. Mary's has been consistently excellent. The reception staff are consistently courteous and welcoming, while the medical professionals demonstrate genuine compassion and professionalism. Of all the NHS facilities I've encountered, this practice stands out as the most impressive and patient-centered.

Excellent healthcare with caring and responsive doctors

I've been a patient at this surgery for years, and I genuinely believe it has continually improved compared to other medical practices nearby. Scheduling appointments has always been seamless for me, and their digital application is an excellent resource for addressing non-urgent medical queries. Recently, I've utilized the online platform multiple times and have been impressed by the swift and informative responses from the general practitioners.

Terrible first impression at st mary's surgery

The client service approach here is deeply unsatisfactory. Despite recognizing the challenges facing healthcare systems, the reception staff's sense of privilege and demeanor is absolutely unacceptable, regardless of how demanding their workday might be. There's a clear deficit in compassionate patient interaction and a fundamental misunderstanding of proper customer service dynamics. My intention was simply to register after relocating to the area with no existing health issues, but I would be extremely hesitant to depend on St Mary's surgery for any medical needs given their current treatment of patients. After reviewing other feedback, it appears the persistent problem with substandard patient care stems directly from the reception team's conduct and the physicians' apparent inability to address and rectify these significant shortcomings.

Smooth and helpful service at local surgery

I contacted the medical practice first thing in the morning on August 9th, and the front desk staff advised me to come at 10 am. Upon arrival, I encountered issues logging into the system, and the receptionist initially claimed I wasn't scheduled, but still instructed me to take a seat. At 10:25 am, Dr. Vawdrey saw me, and I was thoroughly impressed by their thoroughness. The doctor conducted comprehensive examinations, carefully explained my condition, and provided a prescription. The level of care I received was exceptional, and I couldn't have asked for better treatment anywhere else. My sincere appreciation to the staff.

Helpful receptionist saves the day for busy parent

I reached out to the medical practice about a prescription for my daughter, and since it had been a year since her last medication, I was unsure of the specific details. The receptionist was incredibly supportive, digging through her files to find the medication names and guiding me on how to place an online order. This approach helped me avoid unnecessarily occupying a doctor's time that could be spent with patients requiring in-person consultations. The website's interface was straightforward and user-friendly. I'm grateful to the kind and helpful receptionist who made the process so smooth.

Negligent care led to my daughter's hospital visit

I spent an entire week desperately trying to secure a medical consultation for my 4-year-old daughter with our general practitioner. After much persistence, I finally obtained an appointment, only to receive the dismissive recommendation to administer Calpol and wait for the condition to resolve on its own. Tragically, her symptoms persisted, ultimately forcing us to rush her to the emergency room over the weekend. The staff at this medical practice demonstrate a complete lack of concern for patient health, seemingly indifferent to their professional responsibilities and collecting their paycheck regardless of the quality of care provided.
