Had to wait for my appointment but Dr Elizabeth R was amazing. Explained everything well nd was very friendly. Phone call appointment with another doctor was also great, gave a lot of time to talk to me in detail and discuss my concerns.

The reception staff is absolutely appalling. They are rude on the phone, I asked a standard question (can I take my swab test sometime next week?) and the receptionist abruptly asked me for all my details. A conversation that could have lasted 1 minute, instead lasted almost 6. Not to mention, the previous swab i took was declared invalid because it had not been labelled correctly. Before i handed it over to the receptionist i SPECIFICALLY asked if there was anything i needed to fill out and she just took it, tossed it in the pile without a second look and dismissed me. Now i have to take time

I registered as a patient recently and am very pleased with the high standards offered by this practice. I called today, the phone was answered promptly, and I was offered a convenient appointment. I have seen 3 of the doctors so far and have been impressed by their professionalism and caring.
