Appointment System

Pros:

  • "For non-urgent appointments I’ve been given weekend consultations as well as out of hours appointments."
  • "Granted, it’s a little difficult to get on-the-day appointments but you just have to make sure you’re quick and ring first thing."
  • "Booking an appointment is easy and straightforward."
  • "Really friendly staff, have helped me out on rare occasions of emergency help / needed prescriptions straight away, a doctor saw me late when practice closed to make sure I was seen."
  • "Practice phoned me back for the initial phone assessment next day, and had me in for physical medical help within an hour of the phone assessment ending."
  • "Both time were easy to book the appointment over phone and was not that long to get an appointment in the same week."
  • "I’ve always rung up at 8am, there’s very little wait time on the phone lines and I’ve managed to get same day appointments."

Cons:

  • "Good service when you actually get there, but a really poor system for booking appointments."
  • "The appointment system is horrible! The online appointment is always unavailable."
  • "No way to book appointments in advance, you can only call them in the morning to get one on the same day."
  • "The irony is that those who actually need a doctor and are too ill to get there at 8am can't get an appointment."
  • "Only taking appointments on first come first served from 8am is a really unhelpful process."
  • "It’s almost impossible to get an appointment, same day appointments are gone before 9:00 AM."
  • "Although the same day appointment system is good for people with new problems, it is terrible for those who need regular appointments for ongoing problems."

Staff Attitude

Pros:

  • "Never had any problems with this surgery, always very polite and helpful on the phone."
  • "Very friendly and welcoming and quick and efficient care."
  • "Really friendly staff, grateful for all they’ve done!"
  • "Not sure why everyone thinks it’s a bad practice the doctors and staff have always gone above and beyond to help me with mild and serious issues."
  • "The receptionists aren't rude at all! The doctors are lovely, and the nurses/blood team/pharmacists are all great too!"
  • "Staff have always been kind, funny and professional."
  • "Receptionists, doctors, and nurses are all so, so friendly!"

Cons:

  • "The reception staff are rude and act like everything is a mammoth task - if I could rate the receptionists they'd get 2 stars!"
  • "As other posters have mentioned, usually a rude and unhelpful- bordering on aggressive- approach from reception staff."
  • "Doctors are of a good standard however the receptionists are dreadful."
  • "The doctor is very nice, however, the receptionist is rude and really unhelpful."
  • "It's such a shame about the rude obnoxious reception staff, genuinely think it must be in their job description to be as miserable and as unhelpful as they possibly can be."
  • "The receptionists are incredibly rude, and try to make getting an appointment as difficult as possible."
  • "Receptionists tend to assume you’re trying to bypass the system rather than having a legitimate difficulty navigating it and can be rude or unhelpful."

Quality of Medical Care

Pros:

  • "Compared to my surgery in my home town this is amazing. Instead of dismissing my fears, the doctors here take the time to listen to my complicated medical history."
  • "The care I’ve received once I’ve accessed doctors and nurses has been fantastic."
  • "The doctors are really helpful and will know exactly how to help you."
  • "The doctors I've seen have always been good - Doctor Anderson is fantastic - he goes above and beyond and is very thorough with his work."
  • "Most doctors I have seen have gone above and beyond to help."
  • "They really care about the individual and the best healthcare for them."
  • "Outstanding level of service. I want to mention in particular Dr Jermey Anderson. I have on going health problems since 2014 and he has gone above and beyond."
