Patient feedback reveals a significantly mixed experience with this GP practice. Positive feedback consistently highlights compassionate and professional doctors, welcoming reception staff, and efficient service delivery. Many patients report satisfaction with appointment accessibility, prompt referrals, and continuity of care, with particular praise for clinical competence and attentive listening during consultations. However, substantial negative feedback centres on persistent operational challenges.
Appointment availability emerges as a major concern, with patients reporting long waiting times, difficulty reaching the practice by phone, and extended gaps between booking and appointments. Reception staff courtesy is inconsistently experienced, with some patients describing dismissive or unhelpful interactions, whilst others praise their support. Communication breakdowns are frequently cited, including delayed responses to messages, cancelled appointments without notice, and administrative delays affecting prescription processing and test result follow-up. A notable pattern shows that whilst clinical care is often valued, the practice's responsiveness to patient needs and accessibility of services present ongoing challenges that significantly impact overall satisfaction.

Fantastic local surgery that exceeded my expectations
I was braced for disappointment based on the many concerning stories about medical practices in the United Kingdom, yet this particular surgery has completely defied my expectations. Their scheduling is consistently convenient, and the staff demonstrate a genuine commitment to patient care. I'm truly impressed and delighted with the service!

Excellent healthcare service with quick and efficient support
Whenever I require medical assistance, I'm consistently supported with referrals, appointments, and necessary treatments. The Old Court House medical practice offers numerous scheduling options that effectively reduce the typical hospital waiting periods. I'm truly satisfied being their patient!

Compassionate care that truly made a difference
I truly felt understood and well-supported throughout my experience. The service exceeded my expectations entirely. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Kuhendran and Practitioner Sheera. My medical concerns were addressed efficiently, with swift referrals to appropriate services and minimal waiting time for treatment and management. They have been diligent about maintaining continuity of care through consistent follow-up appointments, including both in-person and telephone consultations. Prescription processing was also prompt and seamless. I am deeply appreciative of the entire team and sincerely wish the surgery continued success and the very best moving forward.

Worst surgery ever terrible service and unprofessional staff
This surgery is hands down the ABSOLUTE WORST medical practice I have ever encountered. I genuinely wish a zero-star rating existed because they absolutely do not merit any recognition. They consistently make egregious errors and instead of accepting constructive criticism to enhance their services, they resort to intimidation by threatening to remove patients from their practice if anyone dares to complain. Their diabetes nursing staff represent the pinnacle of unprofessionalism within the NHS - completely devoid of empathy and utterly unfit for healthcare work. Throughout my two decades of using GP services, I have never experienced such abysmal treatment. Every interaction feels like an inconvenience to them - securing appointments is nearly impossible, and they arbitrarily cancel prescriptions without justification, leaving patients without critical medications. Accessing staff is like navigating an impossible maze. Whoever leads this practice as manager should be immediately terminated. Their numerous negative reviews are entirely justified. This is an ABSOLUTE EMBARRASSMENT of a healthcare institution.

Terrible service and uncaring medical professionals
Terrible experience. The medical personnel, including physicians, were completely unaccommodating. As a result, I decided to switch healthcare providers within just a few weeks of being at this practice.

Exceptional healthcare team deserves highest praise
Throughout my three decades of being a patient at this medical practice, I've consistently experienced exceptional care. Dr. Coldrey, my primary care physician, is truly outstanding, and the front desk team exemplifies warmth, efficiency, and professionalism. Relocating has presented the challenging prospect of finding a new healthcare provider, and I genuinely wish I could continue receiving treatment from this remarkable group. My heartfelt appreciation goes out to the entire staff for their incredible service.

Unprofessional and unhelpful pregnancy medical support
Absolutely dreadful service! Throughout my pregnancy, I felt completely abandoned, despite my hospital attempting communication with the surgery. When my hospital emphasized the critical nature of GP consultations during weeks 32, 34, and 38 - highlighting special funding for such cases - the practice flatly denied me appointments. To make matters worse, the receptionist mockingly chuckled during our phone conversation. Seriously?! Compared to my previous GP practice in another region, where obtaining medical support was seamless, this surgery has been a nightmare. Every time I seek medical guidance, I'm left feeling anxious and powerless.

Frustrating and unprofessional medical appointment experience
Are medical professionals incapable of punctuality on Mondays? My scheduled consultation started a full 40 minutes later than planned. Moreover, the physician seemed intent on hurrying me through the appointment, clearly due to her running behind time.

Exceptional primary care that actually exceeds expectations
A refreshing departure from the typical tales of primary care frustration! Booking an appointment online was a breeze - simple, quick, and I secured a non-urgent slot within just a few business days. The GP was absolutely fantastic and promptly referred me to their in-house physiotherapist, with an appointment scheduled in a mere week. The waiting area is packed with informative materials and take-home resources offering practical guidance on managing common health concerns. They've clearly prioritized accessibility, with prominently displayed language translation services and wheelchair/buggy ramps. Their approach is wonderfully inclusive and progressive, even offering a social prescribing service that demonstrates a holistic view of patient care. What truly sets them apart is their authenticity - their smiles aren't just polite gestures, but reflect genuine warmth. That kind of sincere compassion is truly invaluable!

Quick and caring medical experience
Scheduled my consultation through the website and secured an in-office visit within hours. The physician was punctual, even for my late evening slot at 5:50 PM. The doctor conducted the examination with precision and comprehensive care. The front desk staff was exceptionally welcoming, going above and beyond by offering me multiple refreshments. Exceptional care - continue maintaining this high standard!

Terrible healthcare service with zero compassion
Undoubtedly one of the most appalling general practice clinics imaginable. They demonstrate zero compassion, particularly when it comes to mental health concerns. I've personally encountered deeply troubling interactions with specific doctors regarding both physical and psychological health issues, and it's absolutely unacceptable. My strong recommendation is to avoid this medical practice entirely.

Compassionate doctor who truly cares about patients
Dr. Wimbush is truly exceptional. She consistently provides ample time during consultations, carefully listening to my concerns and offering thoughtful guidance. Each appointment feels unhurried and personalized, allowing for comprehensive care and discussion.

Frustrating diabetic foot care and appointment chaos
Dealing with a foot infection as a diabetic patient was challenging. After consulting my doctor on February 20th following the initial issue on the 18th, I had blood tests on the 23rd. Unfortunately, both subsequent follow-up appointments were abruptly canceled. With no further medical guidance, I was left to manage the worsening condition, and after a week, the infection beneath my skin required self-treatment. I only received antibiotics for the initial week, leaving me concerned and frustrated with the lack of continuous medical support.

Amazing healthcare experience with compassionate staff
Completely impeccable service. Nurse Kathleen carried out my smear test with remarkable skill and precision. Although she could have offered more emotional support, her professional approach was outstanding. The front desk staff consistently provide a warm and supportive welcome, going above and beyond to assist patients.

Exceptional care and support through medical challenges
Throughout my medical journey, I've consistently received exceptional support from every member of the healthcare team, spanning doctors, nurses, and administrative personnel, including the front desk staff. When confronting a challenging situation involving DVLA and a medical documentation matter (specifically with forms for Dr. Wimbush not arriving), Dr. Wimbush and the reception team demonstrated remarkable patience during my multiple follow-up calls. Their professional approach and dedicated assistance ultimately ensured the complete resolution of my concerns.

Exceptional care from compassionate medical professionals
The reception team was incredibly supportive, and I'm immensely grateful to Dr Kee-Cheung Lee for his swift and accurate diagnosis, which led to my immediate hospital admission. Thank you so much!!! Following my hospital discharge, the care provided by nurse Shera Hinchley has been absolutely outstanding. I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. She consistently pays attention and goes above and beyond to assist me. Thank you!

Compassionate care through decades of medical support
Our family has been loyal patients at this medical practice for more than a quarter-century. They provided exceptional treatment for our daughter's cleft palate repair. They accurately diagnosed my husband's cardiac issue, and just recently, they went above and beyond to address my gallbladder infection. Dr. Ahmed demonstrated remarkable compassion, attentiveness, and expertise while managing my health concerns. Even after decades, this practice continues to deliver outstanding medical care that we deeply appreciate.
