Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience with significant contrasts between clinical and administrative services. Medical staff and doctors are frequently praised for competence, compassion, and responsiveness, with the online AskMyGP platform receiving consistent positive recognition for enabling rapid same-day consultations. However, appointment access remains a persistent challenge, with patients reporting difficulty reaching the practice by phone due to overwhelmed lines, complex online booking systems with unclear windows, and long waiting periods for appointments and test results. Reception experience emerges as a notable concern, with multiple accounts of discourteous and dismissive staff behaviour, though some patients report warm and helpful interactions at the desk.
Continuity of care issues appear across several reviews, including delayed medical record transfers, missed follow-up commitments, and inconsistent prescription management. Patients describe frustration with booking obstacles that seem disproportionate to actual clinical capacity, with some noting that once consultations occur, care quality is generally solid. The practice's organisational systems, particularly around appointment scheduling and administrative processes, require attention to better match the clinical competence staff demonstrate during patient encounters.

Terrible customer service ruins a great medical practice
The front desk staff completely undermine the quality of this medical practice, which is disappointing since all the doctors are excellent! The sheer level of discourtesy displayed both on the telephone and in person is absolutely unacceptable! My recommendation would be that if interacting with people isn't your strong suit, perhaps it's time to consider a different career path!

Compassionate doctor makes a world of difference
I accompanied my mother to her consultation with Dr McMorrow, offering her moral support. Words cannot adequately capture the depth of empathy, compassion, and understanding the doctor demonstrated while addressing my mother's current health challenges. I'm truly grateful and relieved to know that my mum is receiving such exceptional, caring medical attention from such a remarkable physician.

Terrible service and unhelpful medical care
Terrible medical clinic. When I sought medical assistance, they offered incredibly long wait periods of 3 weeks just for a blood test without an actual consultation, forcing me to seek alternative care and ultimately being advised to go to the emergency room. More recently, after multiple contact attempts in the same week, I was briefly assessed by a nurse who simply recommended antihistamines without properly examining my condition. Once again, I consulted a specialist who has now recommended surgical intervention. I have zero confidence in this healthcare provider.

Terrible doctors practice with zero communication skills
If I could rate this experience lower than the minimum, I absolutely would! Terrible service, I've been completely mishandled with scheduling. I endured a 5-week wait for my infant's 8-week vaccinations and my postpartum checkup (now my baby is almost 12 weeks old). I went to Worle Medical Practice as they originally instructed, only to be informed the appointment was actually at Cedars Surgery. I deeply regret relocating from my previous healthcare provider. I was promised a follow-up call about an appointment... which never materialized. Then I received a letter demanding I schedule the appointment, which I did. The very next day, I got two separate text messages suggesting different appointment times and dates, and upon arriving at the clinic, I discovered I had an additional appointment I was never even informed about.

Seamless healthcare with quick and helpful service
I've been a patient at this medical practice for quite some time now, and I can confidently say I've encountered zero problems. The AskmyGP platform is truly outstanding, and I find it significantly more efficient than traditional phone communication. Just recently, I utilized the service and received a prompt reply in under a quarter of an hour, which quickly resulted in a morning face-to-face consultation. Truly impressive.

Poor!
Frustrating online system fails patients completely
Attempting to renew my recurring medication through the usual method, but the website has been completely rearranged with no clear pathway for repeat prescriptions. It's impossible to schedule a doctor's appointment and the system is inaccessible during weekends. My only recourse is calling 111.

Dangerous medical practice with repeated errors
Truly, this medical practice is dreadful. After recently relocating to the area, I registered with this Practice. While I didn't anticipate immediate medical record retrieval, I've now been a patient since July, and they still haven't obtained my records. They've erroneously prescribed incorrect medications, denied me access to necessary treatments, and even disregarded my Oncologist's explicit instructions. I've received apologies from three GPs within this practice, but their expressions of regret are meaningless as they continue to make repeated mistakes. Their series of errors is almost laughable, and yet they appear completely unaccountable. It's time to seek an alternative, more competent practice. If anyone from The Cedars reads this, my advice is straightforward: stop deflecting responsibility and implement a proper Process Control Procedure. It's an endless cycle of errors and apologies with no improvement. Must a patient actually die due to their negligence before they take meaningful action?

Mike pimm terrible but son freddie saves day
Mike Pimm lacks any semblance of professional courtesy and appears completely unsuited to his medical role, with questionable qualifications for his position. In stark contrast, his son Dr. Freddie Pimm is an exceptional healthcare professional - compassionate, meticulous, and incredibly responsive. He consistently demonstrates remarkable patient care, always going above and beyond to ensure comprehensive and supportive treatment. Dr. Freddie is undoubtedly the cornerstone of this medical practice, possessing communication skills and expertise that far surpass those of his father. It would be in everyone's best interest if Mike Pimm were to step down, allowing his supremely capable son to lead the surgery. I'm confident many patients would agree that this practice would significantly improve under Dr. Freddie's leadership. Despite the current management issues, I still rate this surgery 4 stars, with the strong hope that a full 5-star rating is imminent upon Mike Pimm's eventual resignation 🤞
