Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback for this practice reflects a mixed experience with significant variation in service quality across different areas. Appointment access emerges as a persistent challenge, with many patients reporting difficulty booking consultations through both phone and online systems, lengthy waiting times for callbacks, and frustration with recent changes to scheduling procedures. Reception experience is similarly polarised, with some patients praising courteous and helpful staff while others describe dismissive or rude interactions that have caused distress. Communication issues are frequently cited, including delayed responses to queries, unclear information about appointment times, and problems with test result notification.

On the positive side, many patients commend the medical professionals for their compassionate care, responsiveness, and clinical expertise. Digital consultation systems and prescription services receive praise when functioning effectively, and several patients highlight efficient same-day consultations and prompt follow-up calls. The practice environment is described as welcoming by some, with staff demonstrating genuine concern for patient wellbeing. Vaccination services and dental care have been consistently well-received.

However, concerns about continuity of care, inadequate mental health support, administrative errors, and medication management issues persist across multiple reviews. Some patients report feeling their health concerns were dismissed or minimised, while others experienced problems with repeat prescriptions and follow-up arrangements. The overall picture suggests a practice with capable clinical staff but struggling with organisational systems, consistency in reception courtesy, and appointment accessibility.

Felt heard and supported about contraception

The clinician I saw was absolutely wonderful, and I really appreciated their approach. It can sometimes feel daunting discussing certain health matters, but they made me feel completely at ease. They were genuinely kind and understanding, with no hint of judgment whatsoever. I felt very well supported throughout the appointment. Thank you so much for the care provided.

Receptionists handled my call with genuine care

Excellent service received this afternoon from the reception team who provided helpful guidance over the phone and facilitated a prescription to be issued for collection. Very appreciative of their assistance! I've also observed other members of the reception staff handling patients with genuine care and compassion, managing potentially challenging situations effectively through their calm and attentive approach. I'm very satisfied with this practice!

Online forms get quick same-day responses

I am very satisfied with this practice. The online submission system functions effectively, and responses to submissions are typically received the same day. The remote consultations I have experienced have been suitable for addressing my concerns at the time. Every member of staff I have dealt with has been courteous and helpful. My diagnostic tests and specialist referrals have been processed promptly, and the communication of results has been timely. I have not needed to follow up on any outstanding matters.

Mental health nurse stopped prescribed medication unsafely

A mental health practitioner discontinued a medication that had been prescribed by the GP without proper tapering. This type of medication requires gradual reduction rather than abrupt cessation. There was no accessible route to obtain an emergency supply. This approach felt unsafe and concerning.

Disorganised reception staff made appointment difficult

This facility requires urgent attention. The organisation appears disorganised, with staff seeming unclear about their responsibilities. The overall healthcare system feels problematic, and this practice represents a particularly poor experience. The clinical team and support staff appear inadequate. The premises should be subject to review as there are serious concerns about standards. Staff appear to be inactive at their workstations and display unhelpful attitudes. This is not a recommended practice and visiting here would be inadvisable. The physical environment and operations are unsatisfactory. There are plans to develop residential accommodation on this site in the future.

Front desk staff actually took time to listen

I work at a community centre that has a GP practice attached. I'm genuinely grateful for the front desk staff who take the time to listen to people. The clinical staff also listen carefully. I feel fortunate to have a practice nearby that provides excellent care. What's particularly notable is how much the service has improved over time. The standard of care keeps getting better and better. It's truly impressive.

Reception staff dismissive of patient concerns

I would recommend considering other options for your healthcare needs. Based on my own experience, I felt the practice operated with a commercial focus rather than prioritising patient care. In my assessment, the quality of care fell short of expectations, and certain fundamental requirements seemed to be neglected. If you require ongoing support for long-term health conditions or wellbeing concerns, I believe there may be better alternatives available. I would encourage you to explore other practices before making your decision.

I'm concerned

I am concerned. Just after reporting serious breaches of duty of care to the relevant authorities, I have noticed a bizarre and unusual surge in positive reviews in recent months, which differs greatly from the average trend of last years. These positive reviews are also duplicated across multiple platforms like Google. While I cannot confirm the intent behind these reviews, the pattern is suspicious and raises serious questions about the credibility of the feedback, especially for a provider offering NHS services. For informed decisions about health, and ultimately your GP, I recommend always checking the official Care Quality Commission report.

Dr etok saved my health journey

I've been a patient here for three years, and Dr. Etok is absolutely phenomenal - truly the most exceptional physician I've ever encountered. While I recognize that not every medical professional is outstanding, several of the female doctors and one male doctor I've previously seen were also remarkably compassionate and skilled. Dr. Etok stands out as the most incredible doctor I've ever had. She's intelligent, deeply empathetic, and conducts thorough examinations with genuine commitment to patient care. Unlike some who seem mechanically detached, she sees me as a person, not just a case file. Her dedication comes from a place of authentic medical calling, beyond mere professional obligation or financial gain. I am completely devoted to this medical practice.

Friendly doctors who truly listen

The front desk staff consistently demonstrate exceptional politeness, professionalism, and a willingness to assist, whether communicating via telephone or in person. My medical care was provided by Dr Van-Cooten, Dr Bowen, and Dr Khan, who are all remarkably meticulous and compassionate physicians. The quality of their service is truly outstanding and beyond reproach!

Beatrice's compassionate care made all the difference

Throughout my long-standing relationship with this medical practice, I've experienced varying levels of care. However, since Beatrice became my healthcare provider a few months ago, I've encountered a depth of compassion and empathy that surpasses any previous interactions within the NHS. Her approach to mental health support is particularly noteworthy — the genuine warmth she demonstrates can be crucial in determining whether patients continue to seek necessary medical assistance. It's abundantly clear that Beatrice has found her true calling in healthcare. After each appointment, I depart feeling uplifted and optimistic, and I'm sincerely appreciative of the exceptional care she provides. Additionally, the practice's administrative processes have been seamless, with straightforward online booking, timely follow-ups, and efficient prescription management — all of which significantly enhance the overall patient experience. My heartfelt thanks 💜
