Patient feedback reveals a significantly divided experience at this practice. Positive reviews consistently highlight professional and competent physicians, welcoming reception staff, responsive communication, and efficient appointment scheduling. Several patients commend the practice's commitment to patient care, seamless referral processes, and supportive follow-up communication. However, a substantial portion of feedback identifies serious concerns around appointment availability, with patients reporting extended waiting periods and difficulty securing timely slots, particularly for routine immunisations and specialist appointments. Reception experience emerges as a key issue, with multiple reviews describing staff as discourteous, dismissive, and unhelpful, alongside persistent phone system failures that prevent patients from reaching the practice during morning hours.
Booking errors and cancellation management present additional operational challenges, with patients reporting incorrect appointment dates and inadequate alternative options when appointments are cancelled. Communication failures between the practice and hospital services have also been noted, affecting continuity of care. The practice environment and staff courtesy vary considerably depending on individual interactions, suggesting inconsistency in service delivery standards.
While some patients express strong confidence in the medical care provided and describe the practice as welcoming and supportive, others report feeling unsafe and unsupported. These contrasting experiences suggest that while clinical competence is generally recognised, significant improvements are needed in reception operations, appointment access, phone system functionality, and consistency of patient-facing service standards.

Exceptional healthcare service with caring and helpful staff
My interactions with this healthcare provider have been exceptional so far. Every appointment has been seamless, and the doctors consistently follow up by calling to discuss my blood test outcomes. The reception staff are incredibly helpful and accommodating. They maintain meticulous records and went above and beyond by assisting me in securing an alternative clinic appointment when my preferred location was unavailable. Additionally, their physiotherapist has been tremendously supportive. Overall, I can confidently say this has been the most positive medical experience I've encountered.

Exceptional healthcare with compassionate and attentive doctors
The front desk personnel are incredibly welcoming, warm, and supportive. I've been consistently treated by Doctor Musgrave throughout the past few weeks, and she always went above and beyond, making me feel completely supported. Although she has now transitioned to a different professional direction, the other physicians I've consulted with—both in-person and via telephone—have been equally compassionate, empathetic, and effective, whether providing referrals, writing prescriptions, or offering guidance on managing seasonal illnesses like the flu before the holiday season. I cannot speak highly enough about this medical practice.

Compassionate care eased my health anxiety worries
I consulted medical professionals regarding changes in my digestive patterns, deeply concerned about potential serious illness. Dr. Chishti was exceptional, swiftly arranging necessary diagnostic procedures. The rapid turnaround of test results significantly alleviated my anxiety. Additionally, I underwent routine health screenings for diabetes and cholesterol, experiencing consistently high-quality care. The follow-up communication was incredibly supportive, demonstrating the practice's genuine commitment to patient well-being. I extend my sincere gratitude to the entire medical team. I can confidently say I would enthusiastically recommend this medical practice to others.

Exceptional healthcare with a compassionate personal touch
Dr. Chisti stands out as an exceptional general practitioner in my experience. He embodies professionalism while remaining humble and accessible. The medical practice he leads reflects these high-quality standards. The reception team goes above and beyond to schedule appointments promptly and, crucially, they maintain a courteous demeanor throughout. This has undoubtedly been the most advantageous healthcare choice for both myself and my loved ones.

Rude manager ruins patient's healthcare experience
I interacted with Fiona, the Irish practice manager, and was taken aback by her incredibly unprofessional demeanor. She consistently talked over me, interrupting with an aggressive and confrontational attitude that is completely inappropriate for someone in a customer service leadership role. Her communication style was far from what you'd expect from a manager. During my hospital stay in August, I gained insights into the staff's perspectives about work and the NHS. I genuinely respect and understand their challenging workload and limited resources. I'm dealing with a chronic back injury that causes me constant pain and significantly impacts my daily life. I've discussed this extensively with Dr. Chishti and Fiona, and have reached out to various surgeons and hospitals via email and written correspondence. After receiving a disheartening letter from a back surgeon, Fiona flatly stated I couldn't obtain a second opinion. Absolutely unacceptable! Now, I'm forced to escalate this matter, potentially involving my local MP, the Ministry of Defence, and the Armed Forces Minister - given that I was medically discharged after proudly serving my country. The sole bright spot at this practice is Rachel (and previously Elamine). Rachel demonstrates genuine empathy, friendliness, and goes above and beyond to help. If everyone approached their work with her compassion, the world would be a much better place! Rant complete - over to the next person!

Terrible service and zero medical support
STEER CLEAR OF THIS CLINIC! The front desk staff are completely unhelpful, creating tasks that go nowhere and receive no follow-up. Completely disoriented, I received zero support as a patient. They were useless regarding women's health, and even the doctor seemed unaware that Wythenshawe has an emergency gynecological unit that could have scheduled me quickly on 14.06.24. Their only advice was to go to A&E, nothing more. They mindlessly type on computers without providing any actual assistance. They fail to receive or process communications from hospitals, which has caused total confusion with my medical care. I underwent an operation and they didn't even arrange a basic ultrasound. Absolutely terrible medical practice.

Terrible service and disrespectful staff at clinic
Terrible service with incredibly discourteous front desk staff! One particular elderly woman was especially condescending when I brought my child in after a minor incident to check if additional medical attention was needed. She dismissively declared, "This isn't a walk-in clinic!" with such an arrogant attitude. Ironically, they claim to have zero tolerance for verbal abuse, yet multiple negative reviews suggest they consistently demonstrate disrespect towards patients. This isn't an isolated incident of poor treatment, and I'm absolutely determined to escalate my complaint and ensure they're held accountable for their unprofessional behavior.

Terrible service and disorganized medical practice
Scheduled an appointment, but the front desk staff booked it on an incorrect date. Simultaneously made a veterinary appointment for my dog, who surprisingly received superior care. I placed a medication order on the same day, yet after a week, it remains undelivered. When I asked if a disabled individual could drop off the requested sample since I was working, they flatly refused. The entire medical practice demonstrates utter incompetence.

Confusing and unhelpful medical practice experience
I recently visited this medical facility for an ultrasound and was struck by the staff's professional demeanor. However, when I approached the reception desk and mentioned my ultrasound appointment, I was simply directed to sit down. The staff did not request any identifying information from me, such as my name or date of birth. It's worth noting that I am not a regular patient of this practice, but was referred here by my personal physician in Manchester.

Terrible service and rude staff avoid this clinic
This medical practice was once exceptional, but has drastically deteriorated in recent times. The reception staff are shockingly unprofessional and demonstrate a complete lack of compassion. Their attitudes are appalling, and they urgently need to be replaced with personnel who demonstrate genuine care and customer service. I strongly advise potential patients to steer clear of this clinic.

Worst medical practice ever with broken phone line
A fundamental expectation for a medical practice is maintaining a functional telephone system. They're failing miserably at this basic task. For three consecutive days, I've been unable to reach them because their phone line is completely non-operational during morning hours. Every single menu option just returns a "this line is closed" message.

Terrible medical care puts family health at risk
Absolute nightmare with our long-standing family doctor's practice! My sister attempted to secure an urgent appointment early one morning, explaining her severe respiratory distress, wheezing, and breathing difficulties. Given her autoimmune condition, even a minor illness could potentially be life-threatening. A receptionist, with zero medical expertise, dismissively refused her an appointment and callously suggested she seek advice from a pharmacist and try home remedies. Our mother then tried contacting the surgery, enduring a 45-minute hold while supposedly second in the queue. Incredibly, upon arriving at the practice, she discovered both receptionists casually chatting, with no active phone call. Eventually, an appointment was grudgingly scheduled for the following day. During her consultation, the doctor immediately recommended urgent hospital referral to Wythenshawe for an ECG, indicating suspected sepsis - a critical condition that could have been prevented with timely initial intervention. I am utterly disgusted by the complete lack of professional care, compassion, and basic medical responsibility shown towards my vulnerable sister. This unacceptable treatment WILL be formally escalated - their behavior is absolutely DISGRACEFUL.
