I have been a patient here for over 25 years .I wouldnt want to go anywhere else. The doctors are very caring .I was sorry Dr Ward had retired he was a very nice man and didnt suffer fools gladly.I was sorry to see some bad reviews,as with all practices doctors are overworked so often have to wait to be seen. I am grateful to the NHS that I have reached 88 yrs with their care. Thank You.Woodgate Valley doctors.

Refusing to see patients without a negative covid test - what ever happened to the Hippocratic oath? Death rate of covid: 0.1%. Likelihood of somebody contracting cancer: 50%. Surely this is criminal malpractice.
