Dismissed without proper investigation twice
I feel quite let down by this practice, despite having been a patient here since childhood, and I am now considering moving to another surgery. Last year, I was discharged without antibiotics for a severe respiratory infection, which deteriorated that evening and required me to call an ambulance to hospital. This year, I have experienced similar chest issues and was again sent home with only pain relief medication, no antibiotics, and subsequently required hospital admission for a serious respiratory condition with additional complications. I am disappointed that on the few occasions when I have genuinely needed support, my concerns have not been taken seriously enough. I feel my symptoms were not investigated thoroughly before being sent away. While basic assessments such as listening to my chest and taking my temperature are helpful, I only attend when I am genuinely worried about my condition worsening, and I do not feel adequately heard or supported. I have given two stars primarily because the appointment booking process is quick, but this feels meaningless when my health concerns are not treated with appropriate seriousness. The practice is aware of my respiratory history and should understand that respiratory illness requires careful consideration rather than dismissal. I feel this should have been handled differently.

I have found the service unhelpful, having waited an extended period for an appointment only to have it postponed repeatedly upon arrival.

Called at 9:20, appointment booked for 10, seen by 9:50, couldn't be better. The clinician was very thorough and super friendly.

A number of staff members displayed discourteous behaviour, though I should clarify that this was not representative of everyone working there. The facility appears to be operating with limited..

I have consistently experienced highly professional service from the reception team, and I cannot speak highly enough of them, particularly during this challenging period.

One star because I cannot give a zero. Unable to reach a clinician for urgent assistance despite a serious medical crisis. Absolutely dreadful and indifferent service.
