Excellent
Receptionist went the extra mile with a callback
I've had mixed feelings about this practice in the past, but I had a really positive experience with the team at the surgery today. I called to request a face-to-face appointment and was initially told that none were available, which is fairly common. However, the receptionist offered to check again, though the situation remained the same. Shortly after, I received a phone call from them which I didn't answer, followed by a text message informing me of a cancellation that had become available for that same day. I thought the receptionist was particularly courteous, attentive and considerate for taking the time to reach out and notify me of this opportunity. Not all receptionists would go to that effort, as some might simply let the slot go to whoever happens to call next.
Unacceptable experience. The practice declined to provide wound care following my procedure, citing appointment availability constraints. When I questioned this, I was told slots were unavailable,..

Excellent healthcare professionals providing top-quality care. The reception team could be more welcoming, though this is a minor issue compared to the outstanding clinical service delivered.

The online appointment system has been disappointing. On two separate occasions, I received email confirmation for scheduled visits, but I was not contacted as expected on those days.

The customer service experience was extremely disappointing. I am only providing one star as it is necessary to submit a rating in order to leave feedback.

Attempted to reach the practice by telephone early in the morning and waited approximately half an hour before someone picked up, only to be informed that there were no available appointments.

Not worth the effort. You'd be better served visiting a pharmacy instead.
