Very rude, careless, dissappointed service, they dont help people tp live, they leave people to die, receptionist manager doctor all are extremely extremely rude to patient. Never listen to problem. Always says all is ok, when gone to another doctor nothing was ok. Really idiot kind of treatment. Karma is waching you when your family member has some diasesase and they find no one for treatment. Then u will know how it feels.

Probably the WORST gp practice ever. I wish i lived in another area so i don't have to go here. The Doctors are nice and good but the receptionist are the most moody women ever. Everything said is with an attitude and rude. So unhelpful, don't have an email address. You have to wait 50 minutes on the phone (after dialling x10) to get through in the morning for an appointment. They need to improve their customer service immediately. Such a horrible team.

They will make you wait ages to see you (even if surgery is empty) but if you are more than 7min late they will refuse to see you. In the past I've called with a week's notice to cancel an
