Online booking gets you seen within hours
The online appointment booking system works really well, and the practice typically gets back to you very quickly after submission—usually within an hour—to confirm a time. Many appointments can even be arranged for the same day. The appointment availability is impressively swift, and the clinical staff are excellent. My main concern is that I've seen a different clinician at nearly every visit, which means I end up having to go through my medical history repeatedly. This happens even though I use the option to request continuity with my previous clinician. Ideally, I'd prefer to wait a few extra days to see the same person consistently rather than get immediate appointments with different clinicians each time, though I recognise the efficiency here is genuinely impressive. It's worth considering that negative reviews tend to come from people who've had poor experiences, so they don't give a complete picture of how the practice actually operates. Overall, this is a well-run surgery. Some other reviews mention concerns about reception staff, but I haven't experienced any issues myself and think these complaints are relatively minor in the grand scheme of things. The service provided is free at the point of use, which is something to appreciate.
