Best to book appointments in person
May 23, 2023
I am quite happy with the service offered by my surgery. The receptionists are very kind and helpful. It is not easy to make an appointment over the telephone, and I find it easier to book in person. Living locally this is not a problem but it can be difficult when your not feeling your best. Dr Powell is my GP but I rarely get to see them. I am quite happy that I can see a female doctor when requested.
Disappointed by recent cancelled appointments
May 23, 2023
I attend every three months for injection but have recently had a number of appointments cancelled by text message. This has been very frustrating as some cancellations have come through very last minute and has meant that we have to come into the surgery to re-schedule them. Amanda, the receptionist, is lovely and very helpful. The surgery is generally very good otherwise.
Booking an appointment is challenging
May 23, 2023
I find it challenging to get an appointment over the telephone. It is normal to be holding for up to 30 minutes before you get to speak to someone.
Outstanding service with excellent staff

I come in for regular blood tests and I am always seen on time. The staff are excellent, especially the reception staff. Appointments can be booked on line now too which is great.
Excellent doctors and wonderful receptionist

The doctors are excellent in particular Dr Staverley. They take the time to listen and care for you, they offer an exceptional service. The receptionist, Amanda, is lovely and goes above and beyond to help. I have no complaints at all.
Excellent service, helpful GP's
May 23, 2023
Phoning for an appointment can be a problem. Last time I called I was number 43 in the queue. I gave up and came in person and booked an appointment with no problems at the reception desk. The GP's here are excellent and very helpful. I have been a patient here since 1967, things have changed over the years but I have no complaints.
Hard to get an appointment
May 10, 2023
It is difficult to get an appointment and you are unable to book an appointment for later in the week. I am generally happy with the care and treatment once I have had an appointment.
