Under Dr Tower who is fantastic. However all the Drs I have seen are. All caring and very helpful. Considering the horror stories you hear from other practices of people not being able to get appointments/get help I feel Davyhulme have been brilliant during the pandemic and wanting to help people.

Horrific booking system. Its frankly disgusting how they only take appointments on the day for the day, no appointments for other days allowed. This is the most insufficient system and DOES NOT SERVE the public. They try to say they are non discriminate BUT if you don't call or get onto the app in time you will not been attended to..... That is discrimination... Under staffed and corner cutting

I can never seem to get an appointment as quickly as I used to pre covid. You used to be able to call and make an appointment at any time of the day but now you can only make an appointment between 9am -10am online only. If there is going to be a booking system in place, at least offer more appointments anyone can access at any time of the day online and via phone etc. It puzzles me why you cannot take appointments not over the phone. It just doesnt make sense ..

Have been with this surgery for 35 years and been satisfied with the service, I am sorry to have to write a review after a very frustrating 2 weeks. After months and months of chest infections (??) the hospital have changed my medication to try to support me and improve my health. Unfortunately, after having the instructions from the hospital for 2 weeks, I am still waiting after 2 phone calls and an assurance that it was marked urgent, as I go on holiday today, I am without this new medication. Seriously, not impressed!!

Awful only one doctor ever on and can never get through when ringing. Get down from around caller 8 and when down to you getting to first in the queue you then get cut off. If lucky enough to get through get told to phone 111 its an absolute disgrace it's peoples health we are talking about here.

Absolutely no support from receptionists. They will happilly just hang up the phone when challenged. Only point of concern seems to be number of patients registered and seems to be a legitimate excuse for the reception staff to be rude and unhelpful. Terrible surgery, terrible attitude to giving care to people suffering with long term pain. Constantly closing the online service while their automated phone messages advises that you should use the online system - which they turn off when it becomes inconvenient to them.
