Patient Experience Summary

The practice demonstrates strong reception experience and clinical professionalism across most patient interactions. Patients consistently report welcoming, courteous, and attentive reception staff who handle appointments efficiently and with genuine care. Clinical consultations are frequently praised for professionalism, listening skills, and compassionate care delivery. The facility maintains good cleanliness standards and offers convenient services including walk-in blood testing and digital appointment management. However, several service challenges emerge across the feedback. Appointment access remains problematic for some patients, with difficulties using online booking systems, lengthy telephone wait times, and inconsistent availability of medical practitioners. Documentation accuracy concerns appear repeatedly, with patients reporting inaccurate or incomplete appointment records that do not reflect actual discussions. Waiting experience issues include delays beyond scheduled times, and infrastructure problems such as non-functional elevators create accessibility barriers for patients with mobility needs.

Communication gaps are evident in areas including insufficient prior notification about appointment types, unclear guidance on treatment options, and inadequate coordination between the practice, hospital services, and dispensaries for medication management. Some patients report feeling rushed during consultations or that their concerns were not thoroughly addressed, particularly when multiple health issues required discussion. Privacy concerns during sensitive consultations and occasional reception area closures before stated hours have also been noted. While the majority of feedback is positive regarding staff courtesy and responsiveness, these systemic issues around appointment access, documentation, communication, and care coordination represent areas requiring attention to ensure consistently high-quality patient experience.

Appointment details didn't match what actually happened

I had a telephone appointment arranged for me, but the subsequent experience was deeply disappointing. Upon reviewing the appointment details through the NHS app, I noticed the information recorded seemed inaccurate and confusing. The summary indicated that numerous questions had been discussed during the consultation, whereas my recollection was that only a couple of questions were actually posed, with the remainder appearing to be incorrectly documented. This situation has left me with concerns regarding the reliability of the clinic's record-keeping and documentation practices. The overall experience felt unprofessional, and I would hesitate to recommend this service to others.

Booking appointments through the app doesn't work

It is extremely difficult to secure an appointment at this practice. The online booking system that patients are directed to use consistently fails to function properly, and the practice does not appear willing to accept bookings made in person. Instead, patients are repeatedly instructed to wait for a telephone callback. If timely medical attention is required, the practice seems unable to accommodate urgent needs. The overall experience with accessing care at this facility has been deeply frustrating and falls significantly short of expectations for a responsive health service.

Appointment limited to one concern only

I attended a medical appointment where I raised multiple health concerns, but was instructed to focus on just one issue. As a patient, I found this approach unhelpful and somewhat confusing. I also had concerns about how the appointment was documented. Upon reviewing the summary later through the patient portal, I noticed the record contained statements that I did not remember being part of our conversation. The notes included references to support being offered and rejected, which troubled me as I felt the documentation did not accurately represent what was actually discussed during the consultation.

Friendly Staff, but That Lift Is Terrible

The front desk staff are incredible, the physician and medical assistant we encountered were equally fantastic, and the pharmacy personnel were absolutely delightful. However, I have a major issue with the entrance elevator, which consistently frustrates me because it's perpetually non-functional. Lugging a baby stroller up and down the stairs is incredibly challenging and painful. If they could resolve this elevator problem, this would undoubtedly be the most exceptional medical facility anywhere.
