Negligent care and unprofessional medical treatment

Visited Mrs. Machin after potential drugging. She dismissed my concerns as overthinking and prescribed antidepressants, ignoring my symptoms of headaches, confusion, and visible puncture mark. When I mentioned a doctor from JPH persistently asking me out, and how he had previously contacted my father for my number during my cancer diagnosis despite my objections, she laughed and refused to take it seriously. She eventually apologized for missing my cancer diagnosis months after I initially presented with lower back pain. I'll grudgingly acknowledge that. When I later shared my illness details, they claimed no computer record existed but casually offered three morphine bottles. I used to trust Park Surgery and JPH. Additionally, the JPH doctor wrongly told my dad he had lung cancer, then retracted the statement months into treatment, later noting he actually had COPD. From 2016 to 2022, neither JPH nor Park Surgery provided any meaningful assistance.

Spacious medical center with convenient accessibility

It's a medical facility with numerous physicians spread across multiple floors, but they've thoughtfully included an elevator and accessible restroom facilities for those with mobility challenges.

Exceptional care from the best healthcare professional

My consultation with Penny Walker was exceptional in every way. She was truly outstanding—demonstrating authentic compassion and remarkable professionalism. Right from our initial interaction, her welcoming demeanor instantly helped me feel comfortable. She was thoroughly knowledgeable and readily shared insightful, constructive guidance whenever I sought clarification about my medical concerns. I was deeply grateful for her exceptional listening skills and the genuine care she invested in making me feel completely understood and valued. Penny is an extraordinary asset to Park Surgery, and they should consider themselves fortunate to have such a dedicated healthcare professional on their team!

Exceptional medical care in yarmouth health center

I've been to approximately 7 medical practices in Norwich, and since moving to Yarmouth, I can confidently say this surgery is absolutely top-notch. From the moment you arrive, the staff are incredibly compassionate, punctual, and genuinely committed to addressing your healthcare requirements. The facility is immaculately maintained. Dr. Brown, along with the nursing team and reception staff, are simply outstanding 😀👏👏👏

Poor!

Frustrating healthcare with endless phone wait times

Decent service if you manage to secure an actual consultation. The process of scheduling involves enduring a 35-minute phone wait, only to be informed that face-to-face appointments are completely unavailable for the week. Regardless of your medical concern, they insist on telephone consultations, even for issues that clearly require in-person examination. It seems unreasonable to expect physicians to provide accurate diagnoses via phone for potentially serious conditions that genuinely need a physical assessment. Their approach to patient care appears fundamentally flawed and potentially risks patient health by limiting direct medical interactions.

Caring doctors made our first checkup stress-free

Staff are both delightful and knowledgeable. I felt somewhat anxious arriving with my 8-week-old for our medical assessments and initial vaccinations, but Dr Livesey was exceptionally gentle during my son's examination and helped calm my nerves. Despite typically feeling uneasy around male physicians, I felt completely secure, heard, and valued during my own consultation. It was truly refreshing to leave an appointment without feeling emotionally overwhelmed. The nurse administering his vaccinations was equally wonderful, efficiently scheduling our next visit and thoroughly explaining each step of the process. She provided us with an informative leaflet to reference, ensuring we had comprehensive guidance for aftercare. Thoroughly satisfied with the entire experience!

Exceptional healthcare with genuine care and compassion

I'm truly amazed by my experience! My father relocated from Millwood due to subpar care, but this practice completely turned things around. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming - something I'd never encountered before - and Dr. Livesy was exceptional and thoroughly engaged. I'm definitely planning to switch my own healthcare here as well. Such a refreshing change of pace! Kudos to Park Surgery!
