Feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Many patients report positive interactions with clinical staff, highlighting compassionate and empathetic approaches during consultations, alongside efficient appointment scheduling and punctual service delivery. Reception teams are frequently described as welcoming and responsive. However, several concerns emerge regarding operational aspects of the service. Privacy and confidentiality issues are noted, particularly regarding audible conversations at reception desks and the appropriateness of reception staff providing medical guidance. Inconsistent communication about appointment availability has also been flagged as problematic.
Diagnostic accuracy presents a notable theme, with patients reporting instances where initial assessments did not align with subsequent specialist opinions or test results, raising questions about the thoroughness of clinical evaluations. Additionally, staffing availability concerns are mentioned, specifically regarding limited access to certain practitioners. Despite these challenges, continuity of care with individual clinicians appears valued, with patients expressing strong confidence in their relationships with specific healthcare professionals who demonstrate attentive listening and genuine engagement with patient concerns.

Daughter's Pain Led to Vitamin D Discovery
Two weeks back, my daughter visited Westfield Surgery seeking treatment for muscle and body aches. The physician conducted a routine examination and prescribed Naropin through the pharmacy. However, my daughter continued experiencing persistent pain even after two weeks. Consequently, I took her to Saint Peter Hospital, where we spent 10 hours. A blood test was performed, and the results revealed her vitamin D levels were extremely low, contrary to Westfield Surgery's initial diagnosis of a common viral infection related to weather conditions.

AverageMore male doctors needed
Lady Doctor was very helpful and efficient couldn't ask for better but am concerned regarding the lack of male doctors, only one listed and rarely in surgery, usually covering other areas.

Compassionate Doctors Who Really Listen
Dr. Bisson is an exceptional general practitioner who truly stands out for her empathetic approach and attentive listening skills. She genuinely cares about every detail patients share. Dr. Emsley is equally wonderful and serves as my daughter's doctor. She has a warm, approachable manner that makes communication effortless. We are incredibly grateful to both of these healthcare professionals for their outstanding support and care.

Noisy Waiting Room Lacks Patient Privacy
I'm not impressed with this medical practice due to serious privacy concerns. In the waiting room, every conversation at the reception desk is completely audible, with patient names and medical issues being openly discussed, which completely undermines patient confidentiality. I'm particularly frustrated that receptionists are giving medical advice about medications, which I believe should only come from a qualified doctor. Moreover, their inconsistent communication is troubling - claiming no appointments are available until mid-January, yet somehow offering slots the very next day, which feels dishonest. Thankfully, my personal doctor is exceptional - understanding, helpful, and someone I trust completely. Because of my doctor's outstanding care, I'd rate them 5 stars, but the rest of the surgery would only merit 3 stars.

Missed Tonsillitis Diagnosis at Westfield Surgery
We contacted 111 due to my Son's persistent 4-day fever. The 111 operator questioned my Son about his symptoms and suggested he might have tonsillitis. They sent an email to our local pharmacy. My Son visited the pharmacy at 9 am seeking help for his fever. The pharmacist determined he needed antibiotics and arranged a doctor's appointment as his condition was deteriorating. He eventually saw a doctor who diagnosed him with the common flu and advised him to rest at home. Unsatisfied, we consulted a private GP who, within 20 minutes, correctly diagnosed bacterial tonsillitis and prescribed appropriate antibiotics. The doctor at Westfield Surgery demonstrated poor medical judgment. Had we not sought a second opinion, my Son's condition could have worsened and potentially caused significant health complications. This was a serious misdiagnosis that could have had serious consequences. Common signs and symptoms of tonsillitis include: • Red, swollen tonsils. • White or yellow coating or patches on the tonsils. • Sore throat. • Difficult or painful swallowing. • Fever. • Enlarged, tender glands (lymph nodes) in the neck. • A scratchy, muffled or throaty voice. • Bad breath

Quick Cryotherapy with No Wait Time
I've been a regular at this cryotherapy center, visiting monthly for close to a year. The staff are incredibly welcoming and accommodating, always ready to help. Their scheduling is impressively punctual, with virtually no wait time - you'll barely have a chance to glance at the health posters before being called in. Parking is a breeze, with ample spaces even during peak hours. My sole minor complaint is that the parking area is a bit of a walk from the entrance, though it's honestly not much of an inconvenience.
