Patient Comments

Everything is good about my health care, nothing that I personally know of can be improved Hard to say I have been very much enjoying good health and only coming here for minor problems I have a better understanding of my illness than a Psychiatrist, The online services offered are good and repeat prescriptions are very prompt, the receptionists are friendly and always smartly dressed Excellent practice, particularly co-operative doctor after hours, I generally see nurse before dr, just having that option is greatly appreciated Prefer reception where it used to be Diabetes care is excellent, although I have never spoken to a Dr over the phone, I have spoken to nurses about my diabetes where the service has been excellent communication with local hospitals, health professionals and IT services are all things good about my healthcare the six monthly checkups are good Regular health checkups are good, surgery opening hours to be improved - evenings and weekends, the dr involving you in decisions about healthcare especially the approach/time in consultations not really anything to improve better system needed for making hospital appointments if and when referred by the doctor Everything is good about my health care

Patient Comments You can always get an appointment with a doctor when you need one. Especially if the appointment is for a child approachable doctors and nurses, action is quickly taken where needed, diagnosis and results explained are good things about my health care Reassuring is good Every aspect is carefully looked after, nothing to be improved except for a coffee morning, perfection! Excellent treatment, nothing is too much trouble, marvellous receptionists Waiting room separate to reception area could be improved There is too much reliance on computers When I complained about my knee problems and the lack of response I was getting I received an immediate response to the problem and surgery Booking online Everything over the last 30 years has been good, nothing to be improved I get seen fairly promptly when I need to and my care by doctor is excellent, maybe some weekend openings would be improved but I normally get seen in the week when I need too Fast friendly service with a smile, nothing to be improved, online appt's and records could be more reliable and faster. It would be good to have all the records available

Patient Comments Clocks are required so you can monitor how long you wait. Upstairs/Downstairs Dr Hatton is an excellent doctor with just class communication skills with people of all ages, very good practice no concerns at all Like the internet access to my records, interaction with hospital results could be better. On one occasion nobody contacted me to advise on results Always very impressed with the service I receive from all the staff at the surgery. Well done to everyone. I have no complaints, I am perfectly satisfied with the care I have received Generally immediate availability nothing to be improved Very consistent practice, nothing to be improved Feeling very assured that I am being looked after I consider the practice to be excellent and has always treated me with care and understanding Very satisfied with everything, nothing significant to be improved Satisfied Car park could be improved I do think that overall the quality of care, including doctors, nurses and receptionists at the practice is very good. I would like to add that Dr Johnson is very good in his job and has always made me relaxed, the reception team have always been very polite and understanding
