Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Many patients consistently praise the medical professionals for compassionate care, with particular appreciation for responsive communication and welcoming reception experiences. Appointment availability and booking efficiency are frequently highlighted as strengths, with several patients noting same-day consultations and streamlined scheduling. However, significant concerns emerge around communication delays, prescription processing issues, and inconsistent reception staff courtesy. Some patients report difficulties accessing appointments during peak periods, challenges with online systems, and frustration with follow-up processes. A notable pattern shows strong satisfaction with clinical care quality, yet operational challenges including appointment access constraints, online platform limitations, and variable staff responsiveness create friction in the overall service experience.
The practice demonstrates particular strengths in clinical responsiveness and continuity of care when patients successfully reach the service. Vaccination services, blood draw procedures, and specialist referrals receive consistent praise for efficiency and professionalism. Conversely, administrative communication—particularly regarding prescriptions, callbacks, and online inquiries—presents recurring pain points. Several patients express concern about accessibility of management and difficulty obtaining timely responses to non-urgent matters. The contrast between clinical excellence and administrative friction suggests the practice would benefit from strengthening communication systems and ensuring consistent courtesy standards across all reception interactions.

Waited two weeks for travel vaccine info
I reached out to the medical practice through their Anima online platform, which seems to be their recommended communication channel. My goal was to determine vaccination requirements for myself and my family prior to international travel. I carefully completed the initial set of questions and submitted my inquiry. A quick acknowledgement arrived, followed by a secondary questionnaire that largely duplicated the information I had already shared. I promptly filled out this redundant form, yet it still took five additional days before someone contacted me to schedule a telephone consultation - which would be another eight days in the future. While I understand the NHS is under significant strain, waiting two weeks just to get clarity on essential travel vaccinations strikes me as completely unacceptable. The entire experience has been thoroughly frustrating.

Quick flu jab and blood test visit
This GP practice is truly top-notch. They demonstrate remarkable organizational skills and operational effectiveness. Whenever I've needed assistance, I've consistently found them to be incredibly quick to respond, and accessing the right healthcare professional has always been seamless. Their technological integration into their triage and appointment systems is impressively smart. My recent experiences, including a blood test and flu vaccination, were incredibly swift - I was literally in and out of the clinic in less than a minute and a half. I cannot emphasize enough how outstanding they are.

Family doctor we've trusted for decades
We've been patients at this medical practice since the early 1980s, and our experience has been consistently exceptional. The entire team, from physicians to support staff, has been nothing short of outstanding. They consistently demonstrate remarkable helpfulness and provide unwavering support. Whenever issues arise, they address them with impressive speed and efficiency. I'm confident in saying this is arguably the most superior healthcare facility in the region.

Nurse Emma made my blood test bearable
Emma conducted my blood draw today, which I typically struggle with immensely, as I'm quite squeamish about medical procedures. However, her demeanor was incredibly compassionate and soothing, making the experience much more manageable.

Compassionate care from my new doctor
Thank you, Dr. Gellar, for being such a compassionate and understanding healthcare provider, reminiscent of my previous doctor, Dr. Grant. You've gone above and beyond the typical role of a general practitioner, especially in supporting my mental health. You've invested more time and effort than necessary, and I'm deeply grateful for your exceptional care. The other doctors at the practice are also outstanding, and the reception staff are incredibly friendly. This is undoubtedly the finest medical surgery I've ever experienced. Sincere appreciation to Dr. Gellar and the other doctors I occasionally consult.

Friendly staff, but Anima system is awful
The medical staff at this practice are exceptionally welcoming and supportive. Every interaction, whether in-person or via telephone, has consistently been positive. I consider this to be the most outstanding GP practice I've encountered. Unfortunately, their transition from Doctrin to Anima for online services has been problematic. The new platform is incredibly frustrating, with extremely restrictive request categories that lack an "other" option. Additionally, the character limits are so narrow that adequately describing your medical concern becomes nearly impossible. Fortunately, phone communication remains an excellent alternative, with staff members responding promptly and maintaining their trademark friendliness and helpfulness - which ultimately preserves my overall high opinion of the practice. (That said, it's disappointing that online communication remains limited to business hours, a constraint that also existed with the previous system. It seems unnecessary to prevent patients from submitting messages outside of standard working times.)

Frustrating phone booking on a saturday
I attempted to contact the surgical clinic to schedule an appointment as recommended by my physician. Despite calling on a Saturday with time still remaining before their closing hour, I was informed that the practice was shut. During subsequent weekday attempts, I was advised they were exclusively handling urgent medical situations. I'm unable to successfully book an appointment and will now need to allocate time to physically visit their reception desk to make the booking.

Compassionate doctor who truly listens
Dr Blaylock is truly an exceptional physician at this practice. Her approach is exemplary - she genuinely listens to patients, demonstrates warmth and compassion, provides comprehensive care, maintains excellent communication, and most importantly, gives each patient her undivided attention. I sincerely wish all general practitioners could match her outstanding level of professional and personal care!

Quick help for my arthritis concern
I initiated contact at 8:30 am seeking a telephone consultation about my Arthritis. Lee, the Osteoarthritis specialist, called me back at 9:15 and provided the guidance I was looking for. He subsequently referred me to Dr Withers, who helped me schedule X-rays at the walk-in centre, which I immediately followed through on. The X-ray results were returned to me early in the afternoon. By 2 pm, both Lee and Dr Withers had reached out to discuss a comprehensive treatment plan. I want to extend my sincere appreciation to everyone involved in my care, including the helpful receptionists who assisted me throughout the process. The service was exceptional and I would wholeheartedly recommend this practice to others.
