Many patients commend the professional medical team, reception staff courtesy, and appointment accessibility, particularly praising same-day consultations and responsive communication. The practice environment receives positive mentions for cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere, with several patients highlighting compassionate care during their visits.
However, significant concerns emerge around appointment booking difficulties and long waiting times, which feature prominently in negative feedback. Some patients report challenges with reception staff responsiveness, communication gaps regarding test results, and inconsistent follow-up care.

Cant see GP- in fact havent been able to see one in 4 years- despite being on repeat prescription- the same dosage sine i joined in 2018- i told them my condition and medication- took my word on it. I was diagnosed abroad. I requested annual blood tests and they agreed in 2022! No scans to check my condition. Appalling service compared to my surgery experience of friends and family in various inner city London surgeries as well as east and west sussex!!

AverageExcellent practice management
This practice is so well run. It's standout , especially in the face of nhs challenges. Can't rate the efficient and caring staff more highly GPs take longer than optimum once I am in the surgery, not sure why. The running of the place more than makes up for that.

Fantastic medical practice with caring staff
I'm puzzled by the critical feedback. Throughout my long-standing relationship with this medical practice, they've consistently demonstrated care and empathy. While their phone lines can have extended wait times, the staff are always knowledgeable and provide excellent guidance when you finally connect. Moreover, scheduling an appointment is typically a smooth process. Every single staff member I've encountered has been welcoming and genuinely committed to helping patients.

Is there any purpose to employing front desk personnel when they consistently fail to pick up incoming calls?

Terrible doctor who failed to provide compassionate care
Cold, Dismissive, and Indifferent. This physician treated me as if I were an inconvenience, completely disregarding my emotional state. His demeanor was distant and mechanical, devoid of any human connection. My worries were met with a blank stare and complete disinterest. He showed zero compassion, making me feel small and insignificant. The consultation was a stark reminder of how some medical professionals fail to provide the basic emotional support patients need during vulnerable moments.

Disappointing healthcare with zero compassion
Medical professionals here lack compassion and appear indifferent. I transferred to this practice expecting a large, caring team of physicians. However, their approach to patient interaction is severely lacking. It feels as though patients are treated like emotionless machines, devoid of any human consideration or genuine concern for our well-being.

Worst healthcare experience ever avoid at all costs
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! If you're struggling with mental health, seek help, but definitely NOT here! They will absolutely demolish your emotional state. They show zero compassion for patients and are determined to provide minimal, incompetent care. Your personal information isn't secure either - they've even mailed my confidential details to incorrect addresses. Be extremely wary of this dreadful facility. The doctors here completely disregarded my medical needs. My physician provided zero actionable advice or treatment suggestions, promising to email local support services but never following through. I repeatedly attempted to obtain my prescription, and despite presenting accurate blood pressure documentation, they consistently claimed processing was impossible. Ultimately, I purchased medication through Superdrug, who efficiently delivered my prescription without ever meeting me in person. This GP practice is absolutely useless - they cannot even manage basic prescription services. They bombard patients with irrelevant text messages while becoming completely unresponsive when actual assistance is required. The reception staff seem deliberately obstructive and unhelpful.

Incredible healthcare experience with compassionate doctor
What an incredible initial encounter. We completed the online registration, received a prompt callback, and secured an immediate appointment. A massive thank you to Dr. O'Kane. Truly an exceptional physician who genuinely listened and validated my girlfriend's concerns. The entire surgical team merits praise, with Dr. O'Kane standing out in particular.

Compassionate care that made our dental visit awesome
During our recent appointment, Dr Hollington demonstrated remarkable skill in engaging with my 11-year-old daughter, providing her with outstanding, compassionate treatment. Her talent for connecting with children was extraordinary, effectively calming my daughter's nerves. She meticulously addressed all of our questions and accommodated every single one of our needs, surpassing our expectations in every way. Her comprehensive approach, empathy, and professional demeanor were truly remarkable. We are deeply grateful for your exceptional care. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a wonderful healthcare professional supporting us.

Exceptional care from a dedicated medical team
I've been a patient at this medical practice since December 2019, and I can confidently say I've consistently received top-notch care, assistance, and guidance. When someone is truly unwell, they can secure a same-day appointment, either in person or via telephone consultation. I've experienced seamless referrals to specialists and follow-up care that is truly outstanding. Every single staff member, from medical professionals to administrative personnel, has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to meeting the demands of this bustling practice! My sincere appreciation goes out to them.

Frustrating healthcare with poor patient access
Getting through to their office is a nightmare, with incredibly long wait times on the phone. Securing a doctor's appointment seems like an insurmountable challenge, and they consistently attempt to redirect patients to the nurse practitioner instead of providing direct medical consultation.

Refused to provide my essential daily medication, which is completely unacceptable. I will definitely be departing and sharing my negative experience.

Exceptional care and swift medical support team
The service was incredibly swift and streamlined. I initiated an online consultation early in the day, and by lunchtime, a clinician had reviewed my case, with reception promptly contacting me to schedule blood tests, an ECG, and a subsequent GP consultation. Dr. Beecham was not only highly professional and compassionate but also proactively addressed an unexpected health concern I hadn't originally mentioned during the e-consult. The referral process was remarkably quick, with the administrative team processing it immediately. The entire team demonstrated exceptional efficiency and care. I am truly grateful for their outstanding support.

Compassionate care that turned my day around
My encounter with Julie, the nurse, was truly exceptional and difficult to fully describe. I was emotionally distressed, but she was incredibly compassionate, understanding, and provided me with comprehensive information. I sincerely hope to have her as my healthcare provider for all future appointments. Additionally, the receptionist - I believe her name was Kate - was equally wonderful, demonstrating remarkable kindness and support. Her warmth transformed my mood completely, turning my tears into laughter. The overall service was absolutely outstanding, and I cannot imagine seeking medical care anywhere else. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the entire team x

Compassionate women save the day at terrible clinic
I've had a truly awful experience here, both today and a year ago, leaving me in tears both times. I want to emphasize that every single woman at this practice is incredibly compassionate and kind. I've previously broken down in front of a receptionist who was wonderfully supportive, and all the female GPs are exceptional - some have genuinely transformed my life! However, some of the male staff are among the worst individuals I've ever encountered. Women, please be cautious, as (not all, but most) they can make you feel utterly insignificant. During an appointment with a male GP, he inexplicably increased my medication to dangerous levels. He rushed me through the consultation and completely dismissed my concerns about coughing blood. Fortunately, a female GP was horrified by his actions and corrected his mistake, reducing my medication and providing the appropriate treatment. Today's interaction with a bald, bespectacled male receptionist was horrendous from the start. When I mentioned not feeling well and requesting an emergency appointment, he immediately criticized me for not wearing a mask, before I could even explain my severe asthma. His tone was incredibly demeaning, making me feel like a contaminated nuisance. After I explained my breathing difficulties, he half-heartedly apologized and backtracked about the mask, having initially assumed I simply had a cold. He then proceeded to blame me for arriving "too late" and suggested I should have taken time off work. That's easy for him to say! As a full-time worker, I don't have such flexibility. I've dragged my asthmatic self here, only to be made to feel utterly defeated and on the verge of tears. His lack of empathy is appalling. A simple, compassionate approach like, "I'm sorry you're feeling unwell. Let's see how we can help you" would have made all the difference. Be vigilant and knowledgeable about your medications, as some staff seem worryingly cavalier. The pharmacy is equally problematic - obtaining medications is a constant struggle, with many staff members demonstrating shocking indifference. While not everyone is terrible, there's a concerning lack of competence.
