Patient feedback reveals a deeply divided experience at this practice, with stark contrasts between clinical and reception services. Medical professionals, including doctors and nursing staff, consistently receive praise for their clinical expertise, compassion, and thorough consultations. However, appointment access and reception experience present significant challenges that dominate negative feedback. Patients report persistent difficulties with phone responsiveness, dysfunctional online booking systems, lengthy waiting times for appointments, and reception staff displaying discourteous or unhelpful behaviour. The booking experience emerges as a critical pain point, with multiple patients describing near-impossible access to appointments despite staff availability. Communication breakdowns are evident, particularly regarding system changes and appointment availability information.
Positive feedback highlights instances of responsive communication, efficient scheduling, and welcoming reception staff, though these appear inconsistent across patient experiences. Several patients report successful appointments secured through persistence or by contacting the practice during specific times. The practice has introduced telephone consultations and on-site pharmacy services, which some patients appreciate. Long-term patients express loyalty and satisfaction with continuity of care, while newer patients or those experiencing access barriers report frustration and loss of confidence in the service. This mixed picture suggests operational and organisational challenges that significantly impact patient experience, despite the quality of clinical care provided.

Unethical doctor caused unnecessary family trauma
During the pandemic, I encountered a deeply distressing situation where a medical professional at the clinic contacted child protective services, falsely claiming I was endangering my children by potentially exposing them to covid. Prior to my own positive test, the children had been under my care. As a result of the GP's intervention, my kids were relocated to their elderly grandparents' home. Tragically, one of my sons was covid-positive and subsequently infected the grandparents. Had the doctor chosen to communicate directly with me instead of blindly accepting the social worker's incomplete narrative, my parents would have been spared from potential exposure.

Speedy care and attentive staff at streatfield health centre
Whenever I reach out to Streatfield Health Centre, their communication is impressively swift. Today, Nurse Melanie phoned me back almost immediately after my digital inquiry, and I was scheduled for an appointment in less than two days. Their responsiveness and efficiency are truly commendable.

Horrible customer service at medical office
Unprofessional front desk staff, with only a handful of exceptions. Several receptionists seem completely disengaged, and I sincerely hope they either improve or get replaced. Most of them are clearly unfit for their current positions!

Marwa made my diabetes management journey amazing
I've been consulting with Marwa, and she is truly wonderful to work with. We're managing my diabetes through medication, and she is incredibly attentive, genuinely listens, and shows deep concern for her patients. Typically, doctor visits can be stressful, but Marwa transforms the experience into something positive. Her constant warmth and cheerful demeanor are remarkable, so I want to express my sincere appreciation for her excellent care.

Frustrating healthcare experience with booking appointments
I've been seeing this general practice for over two and a half decades without significant problems, but scheduling an appointment has become incredibly frustrating. When you telephone their office, they insist appointments can only be made through their online system. Yet, when you attempt to book via their website, you're informed that they are not currently accepting digital bookings.

Tala saved the day at my local medical practice
I've been a patient at this medical practice since 2017. The appointment system underwent significant changes due to Covid, eliminating the option to schedule appointments via telephone. When I needed a specific letter, I called to inquire about its availability and was informed by an unidentified staff member that it wasn't ready. Within half an hour of that call, I visited the surgery and met with Tala at the front desk. She took the time to thoroughly search for my letter, carefully listened to my concerns, and confirmed that the document was indeed available. Tala is truly exceptional in her role. She demonstrates remarkable listening skills and genuine understanding of patients' needs. Her professional approach and compassionate demeanor are commendable. Kudos to Tala for her outstanding service.

Lifelong patient loves streatfield healthcentre's exceptional care
Throughout my entire life, I've been a patient at this GP surgery, and in recent years, I've unfortunately needed their services more frequently due to complex health challenges. My personal interactions have been truly exceptional; in fact, the support and assistance provided by the surgery has been instrumental in helping me manage my health effectively. From the Manager to the GPs, Healthcare Assistants, and Reception staff, everyone has consistently been incredibly helpful and supportive whenever I've required assistance. After hearing numerous negative accounts from others, I genuinely feel fortunate to be a patient at this surgery and cannot express enough gratitude for their ongoing help during difficult periods. ***Updated*** I'm adding to my review to highlight my recent interactions with the outstanding Clinical Pharmacist and Receptionist Melanie; both encounters were once again incredibly supportive, helpful, and friendly, with my inquiries being addressed efficiently and promptly. Sincere thanks to Streatfield Healthcentre for their continued support, which is immensely appreciated.

Lifesaving care from a trusted medical team
I've been a patient at Streatfield surgery for four decades and have consistently experienced outstanding medical care. The physicians are highly competent and genuinely compassionate. Recently, during a medication review with the pharmacist practitioner, she quickly identified potential health issues. She promptly arranged for me to see the nurse, who then referred me to A&E, where I was attended to within just 10 minutes. I was truly impressed by their swift and thorough approach. I want to express my deep appreciation to Dr Rajani and his exceptional team for the remarkable healthcare my family and I have received throughout the years.
