Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reveals significant concerns around appointment availability and booking experience. Multiple patients reported persistent difficulty securing appointments, particularly for urgent or same-day care, with reception staff frequently citing no availability despite repeated attempts to book. This access challenge has prompted some long-standing patients to consider switching providers. Communication during the booking process was frequently described as dismissive and unhelpful, with limited flexibility offered to patients with time-sensitive medical needs.

Reception experience and staff courtesy present a mixed picture. While several patients praised individual reception staff members for their supportive and helpful demeanor, others reported discourteous behaviour, poor responsiveness to phone calls, and a lack of respect during interactions. Some patients felt their concerns were not heard or properly addressed. Additionally, concerns were raised about clinical responsiveness, including instances where patients felt their medical issues were dismissed, where treatment recommendations differed unexpectedly between practitioners, and where remote consultations were offered when in-person examination was requested.

Positive feedback highlighted compassionate care from certain practitioners, professional medical skills, clean facilities, and supportive communication from specific team members. Some patients reported feeling reassured and confident in the service following positive interactions. However, these positive experiences were outweighed by the volume of feedback regarding access barriers, communication challenges, and concerns about consistency in care delivery across the practice.
