Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience at the practice, with significant variation in satisfaction levels. Positive feedback consistently highlights responsive communication through online booking systems and messaging platforms, with many patients reporting same-day appointment access and prompt replies to enquiries. Reception staff are frequently praised for friendliness and professionalism, while clinical teams are noted for their attentiveness and supportive approach to care.

However, notable challenges emerge across multiple reviews. Patients report persistent difficulties contacting the practice by phone, with long wait times and system accessibility issues. Appointment scheduling remains problematic for some, with complaints about limited availability and the need to navigate multiple platforms. Prescription processing delays and referral handling issues appear as recurring concerns, with some patients experiencing significant waits for specialist appointments or unclear communication about referral status.

The introduction of new digital communication systems has generated mixed reactions. While many appreciate the convenience of WhatsApp and online messaging for faster responses, others find these systems complicated or prefer traditional phone contact. Technical issues with booking systems and inconsistent staff availability continue to impact patient experience. Overall, the practice demonstrates strengths in responsiveness and clinical care quality, but operational challenges around access, communication clarity, and system reliability require attention to meet all patient needs effectively.

Terrible practice!

This is a terrible surgery! they don't prescribe medication in a timely or effective manner and do absolutely nothing if you complain even directly to the practice managers ! Me and my family have had nothing but issues with this surgery since we joined in November 2024!!! Do not believe the positive reviews i did that and have paid for it!!! STAY AWAY!!

A pathetic excuse for a surgery.

Almost impossible to get an appointment. I've had an appointment made and later changed, because the staff member wasnt suitable to treat me. Using what's app for consultation purposes. How secure is that? Poor communication and you are frequently expected to travel to other locations for consultations. It does, however seem that there are G.P.s who give advice on you tube. Amazing really isn't it...

Poor communication.

When you finally get an appointment it is usually forwarded to other premises, e.g. Claremont Square...

Brooke Surgery is the one if the best

After recently moving back to the area, I cannot speak highly enough of Brooke surgery. From the moment you arrive, the staff are welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. The reception team are efficient, helpful, and always treat patients with respect and compassion, even during busy periods. The doctors and clinical staff take the time to listen, explain things clearly, and make you feel reassured and supported. It’s clear that patient care is at the heart of everything they do supporting patients with both physical and mental health. The level of service, kindness, and professionalism consistently exceeds expectations, and it makes a real difference when you’re feeling unwell or anxious. An excellent surgery that sets a high standard for healthcare and patient care. Highly recommended.

Reassuring consultation

After I sent in a request for a consultation/examination , I was given an appointment with a GP trainee within a few days. When I attended, she listened carefully to my concerns and symptoms before examining me. She then explained her thinking and arranged tests/scan for me. She also changed some medication that may have been making symptoms worse. Throughout the appointment she was respectful and considerate. I came away feeling reassured that I had been understood and knew what the next steps were. Thankyou.

Reassuring

After raising my concerns about my symptoms I was offered an appointment with a trainee GP under the supervision of Dr Tariq. I was seen face to face and examined. The person I saw listened carefully and looked at my history before suggesting tests and a scan to further investigate .She also changed some medication. Throughout the consultation she was respectful and considerate . It was reassuring that she understood my worries.
