Patients consistently report positive experiences with clinical care, noting that healthcare professionals demonstrate attentiveness, clear communication, and compassionate approaches to consultation. Reception teams are frequently praised for their welcoming demeanor and helpfulness in arranging appointments. Many patients highlight the practice's responsiveness and the professionalism displayed across all staff roles, with particular appreciation for the organisation and efficiency of services.
Appointment access presents a mixed picture. While some patients report straightforward booking and minimal waiting times, others describe difficulties securing in-person appointments ahead of time, with the same-day booking system requiring early arrival without guaranteed access. Consultation length has been raised as a concern by some patients, who felt time constraints limited thorough assessment and discussion of their health concerns.
A small number of patients reported negative reception experiences and concerns about follow-up clarity following appointments. One patient described significant difficulties with appointment booking errors and felt their concerns were not adequately addressed by the practice. These isolated cases contrast with the broader pattern of positive feedback regarding courtesy, care quality, and the welcoming practice environment that characterises most patient accounts.

Average!
Struggling to book face to face appointments
I found it difficult to arrange an in-person appointment ahead of time, as only telephone consultations were available. The practice operates a same-day booking system requiring arrival at 8am with no guarantee of being seen. This approach has negatively affected the consistency of my care. During appointments, considerable time is taken up explaining my background, leaving limited opportunity for thorough assessment. It seems unclear why the practice continues to accept new patients when current patients struggle to access adequate services.
The Exchange Surgery
8 months agoDear Elsa, hank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear of your frustration around accessing face-to-face appointments and continuity of care. We recognise how important this is and are continually reviewing our appointment system to balance demand with availability. Please do contact the practice directly if you’d like us to look into your individual concerns further.

Felt genuinely listened to and well understood
I encountered a GP who demonstrated thoughtful and capable practice. Their ability to balance medical knowledge with clear communication and genuine empathy made a meaningful difference in how supported and understood I felt as a patient. What particularly stood out was their professionalism — whether offering timely advice, writing letters that considered both clinical needs and organisational realities, or listening with care. This was a GP who knew how to advocate for patients appropriately, which felt like a rare quality. The wider team at the practice has also consistently been helpful, responsive, and respectful — it's a practice that clearly takes patient experience seriously. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for a GP who brings both clarity and compassion to their work.

Quick appointments and genuinely thorough care
An excellent GP practice. I switched from my previous surgery because I was unable to secure an appointment for several weeks. After registering with this practice, my medical records were transferred within a day and I was able to see a clinician within a week. The healthcare professional I consulted was compassionate and very detailed in their approach, and the administrative team are courteous and highly organised. I have been very satisfied with the standard of care I have experienced here.

Friendly nurse put me at ease quickly
The healthcare professional I saw was extremely pleasant and approachable, which helped me feel very comfortable during my visit. I received multiple vaccinations and was impressed by their competence and efficiency in administering them, with minimal discomfort. The appointment commenced slightly behind schedule, though this was still better than experiences I've had at other medical facilities.
