Patient Experience Summary

Patients consistently praise the practice for its welcoming reception experience, with staff demonstrating courtesy and responsiveness across appointment booking and communication. The booking process is frequently described as straightforward and efficient, with quick appointment availability and prompt responses through the practice app. Healthcare professionals are noted for their compassionate care, attentiveness during consultations, and willingness to take time with patients without rushing. Administrative processes, including prescription ordering and referral arrangements, are generally handled with efficiency and organisation.

However, some challenges emerge across the feedback. Appointment scheduling difficulties persist for certain patients, particularly those requiring specific practitioners or home visits, which remain unavailable. Communication delays and follow-up issues are reported in isolated cases, with some patients experiencing extended waits for responses or administrative processing. Coordination between departments, notably regarding pharmacy and surgical services, has occasionally caused uncertainty. A small number of reviews highlight concerns about scheduling errors, missed phone calls, and administrative delays in processing forms.

Overall, the practice demonstrates strong performance in reception courtesy, booking accessibility, and care quality, though improvements in appointment availability for specific needs, communication consistency, and interdepartmental coordination would enhance the patient experience further.

Exceptional care and friendly staff every time

I've been a patient at this medical practice for almost three years, and my spouse and I couldn't be more satisfied. We actually stopped by today to address some concerns, and Jane at reception was absolutely outstanding. She has consistently demonstrated helpfulness and professionalism throughout our interactions. Her courteous demeanor is truly commendable. I would wholeheartedly endorse this practice to anyone seeking a reliable healthcare provider.

Frustrating delay with medical history documentation request

The DVAL dispatched medical history documents for the second time on July 25th, with a two-week notice period. Completing the form should take mere minutes, yet I've been waiting for over three months.

Frustrating medical appointment with poor communication

I showed up precisely when I was scheduled, only to be informed at the front desk that there had been a scheduling error and no physician was accessible. They claimed they were about to contact me about the cancellation. This level of service is completely unacceptable. As a taxpayer who rarely utilizes the NHS medical system, I find this treatment frustrating and unprofessional.

Terrible customer service ruins medical consultation

DISRESPECTFUL, MEDICAL MISCONDUCT & DISMISSIVE TREATMENT. During a call with a healthcare professional who persistently talked over me, and when I pointed out the inappropriateness of his interruptions, he abruptly terminated the call, consequently preventing me from accessing the necessary medical consultation with my doctor.

Exceptional care from a brilliant and caring doctor

I am Extremely Satisfied with the Care Provided. They Consistently Prioritize My Family's Well-being. Today, After a Considerable Time, I Consulted Dr. Naik. He is an Exceptional Physician. He Thoroughly Examined Me, Explained My Condition, and Administered the Most Appropriate Treatment, Adjusting My Previous Medication Regimen. He Initiated New Tablets and Recalibrated My Existing Medication to the Optimal Dosage for My Health. I Am Truly Speechless Regarding His Exceptional Service, and Can Only Describe Him as a Remarkable Surgical Expert. May Blessings Be Upon Him and His Dedicated Team. Mr. Partap Singh Sisodia & Family. 22nd Aug 2025.

Exceptional medical care that truly exceeds expectations

After being with my previous GP practice for more than four and a half decades, I transitioned to The Oaks Medical Centre. Since becoming their patient, I am thoroughly delighted with my decision. Securing appointments with healthcare professionals—whether doctors, paramedics, nurses, or medical assistants—has been completely seamless. My ongoing health conditions are consistently tracked, and I'm regularly called in for annual blood screenings, flu vaccinations, and comprehensive medical evaluations without any hassle. I wholeheartedly endorse this medical practice and deeply regret not making this switch much earlier, having wasted years battling appointment scheduling challenges at my former practice.
