What do you have to do to even speak to a doctor, never mind see a doctor face to face!! So disappointed in this service! It's really not fit for practice! Once you do eventually get to see a professional the service is on a whole ok, with the exception of a few of the team. Then you get told, send an email if you aren't happy. What's the point, nothing will change. No wonder there is no option to comment on the majority of FB posts! 8 o'clock call, 33 in the queue!! Oh but I can call back tomorrow or wait 2 weeks for an appointment. Shocking!

brilliant staff nurses and doctors

Waste of time. Went for my pre arranged flu jab and they wouldent give me one because 'your not old enough' Im the same age I was when I booked it. Im a year older then I was last year when they gave me one, and 2 years older than when they gave me one 2 years ago. At least they managed to get my monthly pescription right in September for the 1st time this year. I am also sick of being fined of my phone provider for being on hold for over an hour to be told no appointments ring back tomorrow. No wonder people dont go to the doctors any more. Yet again I am fuming with the staff at that clinic. Nothing is straight fowards there and they dont seem to care about the patients. Some of the staff here are so frustrating.

The most uncaring medical group. To book appointment like trying to win lottery.Don?t try help people who work for a living. I think I was generous giving one star

On Friday 31st March I succumbed to a very painful and extensive attack of shingles . At 85 I am not an early riser so when my daughter rang for an appointment there were none left . However the reception staff were brilliant and with what must have been considerable effort they rang back with an emergency slot. I attended the surgery unwashed,half dressed and with a very bad hair day!I was treated with extreme courtesy and patience by Dr Ruth Gertig who took care to explain every step of the treatment in spite of the fact that her schedule was crammed. So in this era of complain, complain( I am guilty of this myself )may I just offer my sincere thanks to the Reception staff and Dr Gertig who saved me from a weekend in hospital corridors .

What has happened to this previously efficient practice? Ring at 8am get through if you are lucky @ 9;50 , to be told no appointments left ,ring again next day same again. While in terrible pain and trying to get a non repeat prescription. Referred to " pharmacy team" two days later a query from said team, still no prescription, now running out of medication. Next day another query from pharmacy team all through receptionist, not direct to me. Told they will text me when available able. So from Monday through to Friday no prescription. Get a text message Friday tea time going to doctor for signing. I am now out of said medication and it is a drug that must not be stopped abruptly, attend chemist Saturday and Sunday still no prescription, now without medication on Monday for third day and in severe pain. Is this just incompitance or the undermining of the practice/ health services to justify privatisation? All I know is I am still waiting and in pain!!!

New people not as helpful as others

Phoned up to get emergency appointment as was worried about my 1 year old child having a consistant rash. Told no appointments available didn't ask the age of my child or there name or any details on the matter. Just said to ring 111 or at 8am in morning. My partner decided to take her to the receptionist and was given an emergency appointment straight away after being told on phone there was none.

With all surgeries your first contact is with reception. Sometimes this is where many people have a problem. There isn't one here. The reception teams are very good, and will do their best to assist you.The waiting area is very pleasant with toilet facilities which are spotlessly clean. The Doctors are all very good, and in my experience first class. Please bear in mind though that this is my opinion as a patient and I'm not in any way medically competent, however.

Appointments go quickly on the day but can always get a GP or Nurse call back. Caring , professional staff. Under pressure like all surgeries but always helpful.
