Multiple calls needed to reach the practice
I found the service to be quite poor, and I suspect those who haven't experienced repeated calling attempts might have a different perspective. There appears to be limited communication between clinical staff members, resulting in inconsistent approaches to patient care. Different practitioners seem to hold varying viewpoints on treatment options and clinical decisions. One clinician may decline a particular medication while another approves it. Similarly, fitness-related documentation can vary depending on which practitioner you see, with some appearing to apply their own judgment differently. The most frustrating aspect involves a member of the reception staff. This individual can be dismissive and seems unclear about procedures and protocols. They insist appointments must be booked during morning calls, yet other reception staff have successfully arranged appointments at different times the same week. The overall coordination and professionalism of the practice has left me quite disappointed.
The team here consistently demonstrates a high standard of care. Since becoming a patient with additional needs, I have reached out on several occasions and have found them to be very understanding..
