Excellent empathetic treatment
January 16, 2021
I have significant difficulty in dealing with / discussing all things medical. The Nurses and Doctors at the practice have been very understanding and helpful at all times in the c. 40 years that I have been a patient. Gold stars!
Great nurses & reception staff

Helpful GP’s
Rude GPs and waited 6 weeks for treatment
February 21, 2020
Two of the doctors I have seen at this Practice have been extremely rude and one unprofessional. One didn't even look at me when I saw him twice, he was typing and looking at his PC throughout, rather than consulting with me. He also said I wouldn't have been able to get out of bed if I had the flu in a condescending and unnecessary way - and I had to inform him that I hadn't been out of bed for 4 days before I managed to see him.
The other told me off and asked me why I was there and implied I was wasting his time - because he had not even read my notes and therefore didn't read about the lengthy and drawn-out process I had to go through because of the delays instigated by this Practice. I was very upset by his treatment. My partner gets treated respectfully by these same GPs, and I wonder why.
It is impossible to get a pre-booked appointment and they don't seem to offer evening or later appointments although on their website they say they do. Altogether an unacceptable experience that has made me anxious and nervous to see doctors at this Practice.

Exemplary Service from Doctors

My GP has to deal with both my mental and physical health. He never over prescribes pills and I can get my chest checked (had cancer) without fear of unnecessary antibiotics. I quite often see the Dr and come with sound advice and no tablets. Excellent.
Always received good care

Always received good care, but difficult to get an appointment unless it's an emergency. Usually about a 2 week wait, has got worse over last couple of years.
