I've been a patient of this practice for many years now and, despite the current C19 situation, I am still getting my health checked when required, either face to face or by telephone. I am always treated fast , with consideration and respect every single time I need their services. In particular, Dr. Bajwa, has been taking care of my family for years now, and there isnt a single thing I can complain about; always behaving in a professional manner, knowledgeable, and patient listening to my worries. It is a bit annoying not being able to see him every time I think I should but, given the circumstance

I have been with the Border Practice for many years and have nothing but praise for them. I know the line is often engaged at busy times but once you get through, the receptionists are extremely helpful and reassuring. I have never had any problem making an appointment with the doctor of my choice either. A little patience and understanding of the job they do goes a long way too - I wouldn't want to do it!

Getting ANYONE to answer the phone is damned near impossible. So incredibly frustrating. The only way I got a routine appointment is to actually physically walk in and ask at reception for a nurses appointment. I now need to re-arrange that appointment - I've now been on hold for 19 minutes trying to speak to someone. I can't even re-arrange on line as I haven't been given the registration letter to link the practice to my online record. I really really despair :-(

I was supposed to have a phone call appointment today, when booked this morning the receptionist just said later this afternoon helpful, my house has poor signal so the call didnt come through. I have been on hold for over an hour now trying to call them to rearrange it, just keep hearing one moment please honestly the worst reception staff Ive ever had the misfortune of dealing with and ill be moving doctors!

I cannot thank the surgery enough they have been absolutely amazing. The support they have provided has been amazing and I would go as far as saying life changing. Thank you so much to the brilliant staff and doctors you really are the best and have worked so hard during the crazy and unprecedented times of COVID.
