Long-term patient satisfied with recent appointment booking improvements

My family and I have been registered with this practice for over a decade without experiencing any significant problems. The pandemic period presented challenges, including limited availability of routine appointments and a shift towards telephone consultations, which felt restrictive for potentially serious concerns, though alternative services were available. There was also a temporary change to a same-day booking system that sometimes felt inefficient when dealing with non-urgent matters, as I worried about taking up slots needed by patients with greater need, though this wasn't a reflection on the reception team's efforts. The appointment system has since reverted to a more flexible arrangement, and I've found it straightforward to book appointments, typically within a week and in person. While there have been occasional moments of frustration, I've generally found the team to be courteous and supportive. I also recognise that my own respectful approach likely influences my interactions. I believe most people only leave reviews following negative experiences, so the handful of critical comments shouldn't discourage others—there are many satisfied patients like myself who simply don't comment. Overall, I'm very content with the service provided.
