Bright surgery with friendly staff and easy appointments
The new practice is well-lit and welcoming, with staff who are approachable and accommodating. I have consistently been able to secure appointments when needed, though not always with my preferred clinician.

Booked appointment without telling me
I have submitted the online consultation form multiple times now and have also telephoned the surgery on two occasions requesting a callback. During one of these calls, I was informed that an appointment had been arranged for me the previous day, however I was not notified of this. I remained available by my phone at work as I had been led to expect a call. This morning I called again and completed another online consultation form, but I continue to be in a waiting situation without resolution.
