Patient feedback reveals a markedly divided experience at this practice, with significant challenges in appointment availability and reception experience contrasting sharply with positive feedback about clinical care. Booking appointments consistently requires extended waiting periods, often three weeks or longer, and the online booking system frequently shows no available slots, forcing patients to resort to urgent appointment pathways. Reception staff performance is a recurring concern, with multiple patients reporting discourtesy, poor communication, and lack of responsiveness to inquiries. Several patients describe difficulty reaching the practice by phone, experiencing dropped calls, slow systems, and unhelpful guidance.
Conversely, many patients commend the medical professionals for their compassionate care, clinical expertise, and supportive approach. When patients do secure appointments, they frequently report positive interactions with physicians and nursing staff who demonstrate genuine concern and thorough attention. Some long-term patients highlight the practice's efficiency in diagnosis and the welcoming demeanor of certain team members. The booking system itself receives mixed reviews, with some finding the online platform efficient for standard consultations while others struggle with its limitations for specialized services.
The practice appears to deliver variable service quality depending on which staff member and service area patients encounter. While clinical care often receives praise, the reception experience and appointment access remain significant pain points that substantially impact overall patient satisfaction and confidence in the service.

Dangerous practice puts patient's life at risk
⭐️ 1/5 – Cedars Surgery, Maidenhead: Critically Inadequate Medical Care I am profoundly troubled by the appalling standard of healthcare delivered at Cedars Surgery in Maidenhead. My interactions with this medical practice have been nothing short of a distressing ordeal that potentially endangered my life. Managing a chronic health condition requiring consistent medication, I exhausted every communication channel — repeatedly calling and emailing — to obtain a crucial prescription. Despite these persistent attempts, the practice completely disregarded my urgent medical needs. Consequently, I was rushed to Intensive Care with dangerously compromised vital signs. The hospital consultant explicitly confirmed that this medical emergency was entirely preventable and solely resulted from the surgery's fundamental incompetence and gross negligence. Furthermore, the practice's staff consistently displayed an abysmal attitude characterized by indifference and unprofessionalism. Their interactions were marked by rudeness and a complete absence of empathy — fundamental qualities one expects in healthcare professionals. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of avoiding this practice. Cedars Surgery has demonstrated a shocking disregard for patient welfare, displaying a systematic failure in basic medical responsibility, communication, and patient care that puts lives at genuine risk.

Lifelong care with exceptional medical professionals
I've been a patient at this medical practice since birth, and my experience has consistently been positive. The entire team has always been exceptional, and I'm truly grateful for their responsiveness. Whenever I've needed to schedule an appointment to address my health concerns, they've been incredibly accommodating. The front desk staff are particularly noteworthy - they're consistently courteous and supportive. My sincere appreciation goes out to the entire practice :-)

Exceptional care at cedars surgery every time
I've been familiar with Cedars Surgery in both a professional and personal capacity as my primary healthcare provider. The treatment I've received has consistently been top-notch, with courteous and professional interactions from all medical personnel. I'd like to specifically commend Dr. AK, who has been my primary physician and consistently demonstrates exceptional care that goes above and beyond expectations. While the entire team is remarkable, it's worth noting that occasional waiting times can occur due to the inherent pressures of the NHS—a circumstance that's understandable given the system's challenges.

Terrible healthcare experience with discriminatory treatment
unless you're an elderly woman, they'll concoct any pretext to avoid scheduling you in. You're better off just succumbing to treatable health issues that could have been easily prevented

Slow healthcare service left me frustrated and waiting
Endured a painfully long 2-week wait just for an online consultation, and nearly a month for an in-person appointment. You'd need a truly critical situation to justify such sluggish service.
