Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Many patients report positive interactions with medical professionals, describing them as competent, compassionate, and responsive to care needs. The online appointment booking system and nursing services receive consistent praise for accessibility and efficiency. However, significant concerns emerge around reception experience and appointment access. Multiple patients describe difficulty securing timely appointments, with some experiencing week-long waits for urgent consultations. Reception staff interactions are frequently cited as problematic, with reports of dismissive attitudes, poor communication, and lack of empathy toward vulnerable patients. Several patients highlight concerns about clinical assessment quality and inadequate follow-up care, with instances where serious conditions were not appropriately escalated. Vaccination and same-day urgent services are noted as well-coordinated, yet broader appointment availability and continuity of care remain inconsistent across patient experiences.

The practice demonstrates capability in medical expertise and nursing support, with many patients expressing confidence in individual practitioners. However, organisational processes around reception, appointment scheduling, and care coordination appear to require attention. Patients transitioning from other practices frequently comment on the contrast in service quality, suggesting variable standards. While some recent interactions highlight improved reception professionalism and efficient booking, others describe ongoing challenges with accessibility and staff courtesy. The feedback indicates the practice has strengths in clinical delivery but faces persistent challenges in front-desk operations and appointment management that impact overall patient experience.

Frustrating healthcare experience with poor communication

Something has shifted in recent months. I can't pinpoint exactly what, but scheduling appointments has become significantly more challenging, and the overall atmosphere feels less comfortable compared to before. This is particularly noticeable when patients are referred by hospitals. The physicians seem to be dropping the ball on follow-ups, leaving patients without clear guidance or next steps. There's a notable lack of comprehensive reviews and ongoing care coordination.

Stuffy waiting room ruined my medical visit

The front desk employees were quite friendly, and the nurse greeted me warmly. However, the waiting room felt uncomfortably hot and stagnant, with the heating cranked up and no ventilation. This environment seems like an ideal setting for bacterial spread.

Lifesaving pediatric care when we needed it most

Fantastic experience. When I urgently required a medical consultation for my young child, Dr Smith responded quickly by calling me back and scheduling an appointment within just an hour. She was incredibly gentle and patient with my son. Remarkable care, particularly considering the current pressures on the National Health Service. Much appreciation!

Amazing healthcare team that truly cares

Since moving to this neighborhood a year ago, I cannot overstate how exceptional this medical practice is. Despite needing their services frequently, I've been consistently impressed by their outstanding care. The staff are proactive, welcoming, and consistently responsive, always ensuring they follow up with patients. After experiencing years with a previous practice that seemed indifferent, I feel incredibly fortunate to now have such a dedicated and professional healthcare team looking after my well-being.

Terrible service and misleading appointment scheduling

How can you schedule a customer for a 7am slot when you're clearly not open for business? Completely unacceptable. I recommend steering clear of this place entirely. I arrived at the designated 7am time, and absolutely no staff were present. It's incredibly frustrating to have clients standing outside with no service available.

Terrible healthcare left me feeling abandoned and hopeless

My encounter with this medical practice has been the most appalling experience I've ever had within the National Health Service. It feels as though they are completely indifferent to my well-being, almost hoping I'll simply disappear or perish out of sight.

Dangerous delay leads to devastating health consequences

I've been a patient at this medical practice since 1963, but that ends today! My husband tried to schedule a doctor's appointment and was told he could only see a nurse in two weeks, even after explaining he felt unwell. When I called back emphasizing the urgency, the receptionist claimed Dr. Smith would contact him. She did call and casually dismissed his concerns, saying he could wait two weeks! Tragically, he suffered a stroke just two days later on April 1st. You might expect such negligence would prompt some reflection from the doctor, but no - eight weeks later, he experienced another mini stroke! The practice is clearly using Covid as an excuse to reduce their workload, but patients with high blood pressure absolutely require in-person consultations! These receptionists need to understand their job is to support patients, not act like overzealous border control agents at East Midlands Airport!
