Patient Experience Summary

The practice demonstrates considerable strengths in reception experience and clinical care quality. Many patients report positive interactions with reception staff, who are frequently described as warm, welcoming, and helpful with appointment booking. Physicians are often praised for attentiveness, compassion, and professional expertise. However, significant challenges emerge around appointment access and operational efficiency. Patients consistently report difficulty reaching the practice by phone, with lengthy wait times and queuing issues when calling at opening hours. Appointment availability presents ongoing frustration, with some patients unable to secure consultations for extended periods or facing delays in receiving referrals and test result discussions.

Communication gaps represent a notable concern, including unresponsive email contact, delayed prescription processing, and inconsistent information provided to patients about available services. Some patients report rushed consultations and dismissive responses to their health concerns. Environmental issues have also been noted, including inadequate heating in clinical areas. While many long-term patients express strong satisfaction with continuity of care and staff dedication, recent feedback suggests variability in service consistency, with some experiencing improved standards whilst others report declining quality in clinical assessment and patient-centred communication.

Terrible service and impossible to get appointments

This medical practice is a complete disaster! Look elsewhere for healthcare. The staff are incredibly discourteous, and securing an appointment is virtually impossible. Attempting to book at 7:59 am finds the phone line shut, and when you dial precisely at 8:00 am, you're instantly placed 30th in the queue with zero chance of getting seen. Each subsequent attempt yields identical frustrating results. I've been struggling to schedule an appointment for over three months now. Absolutely ridiculous! I'm preparing a formal complaint to the NHS and will definitely be switching to a different GP surgery.

Freezing clinic left me cold and uncomfortable

I went to see a nurse at Victoria Medical Centre, and the environment was freezing cold. The nurse's hands were chilled, making the entire experience quite uncomfortable. The lack of heating significantly detracted from my visit. Warmth is an essential requirement for human comfort, and I strongly urge the surgery management to resolve this heating issue promptly. As an adult, I found the experience challenging, and I'm deeply concerned about how vulnerable infants must feel when they are undressed for vaccinations in such a cold setting.

Friendly staff and excellent patient care

I've been a loyal patient at this medical practice for many years, and I can't speak highly enough of the entire team. The doctors and staff consistently demonstrate a remarkable level of care and attentiveness. What truly sets them apart is their ability to provide clear, thorough explanations for any health concerns or questions I may have. I'm particularly impressed by Arsha at the reception desk, who unfailingly offers a warm welcome and goes above and beyond to assist with scheduling appointments or providing any information I need. Her helpfulness and pleasant demeanor make every visit a positive experience.

Disappointing mental health care experience

I had a deeply disappointing experience at this healthcare facility. The staff seemed indifferent to my needs, and the mental health assessment felt rushed and superficial. Despite my repeated requests to consult a psychiatrist, I was consistently denied this opportunity. Instead, I was given a link to talking therapies, which felt like a dismissive gesture considering the widespread availability of such information. The promise of medication via text message never materialized, leaving me frustrated and without proper care. The prospect of repeatedly explaining my situation to different doctors over the phone just to obtain a prescription was disheartening. Ultimately, I've decided to seek help elsewhere, as this establishment failed to provide the professional psychiatric care I was seeking.

Delayed doctor call causes patient frustration

I attempted to schedule a referral to the hospital at 8 AM due to experiencing intense discomfort. The receptionist assured me that a physician would contact me between 9 and 11 AM, but no call came through. I followed up at 11 AM, and they promised a return call before noon. However, it's now 2 PM, and I've heard nothing. If it were possible, I'd rate this service zero stars.
