I was just at The Hollies this morning. It's been my NHS Surgery for nearly two years now, and…read moretoday was my first slightly negative experience with it. Not being a morning person, I still had to jump at the chance of being offered an appointment within two days of ringing up -- albeit at 8:45am. (Inner monologue: "Oh dear god, what do the hands of a clock look like that early?") Unfortunately, the receptionist had made a mistake, and didn't have a record of my appointment. I was offered an appointment for tomorrow, which I accepted. The GPs/doctors are all very friendly, with fine bedside manner. They often spend more than the typical doctor's two minutes listening to symptoms and recommending treatments. Though I'm not a hypochondriac (honestly, I don't own a single thermometer), I've been to the Surgery about half a dozen times in the past two years. I've always been seen straight away, with less than a five minute wait. The receptionists are all unfailingly polite and helpful -- not something most patients associate with the NHS! The Surgery itself is a bit dingy, and the building is dated. Unfortunately, there is no parking outside, and the only options are very poor street parking or dishing out £2 for the car park across the street. All in all, if one is sick, it's not a terrible place to end up.

I CANNOT praise the doctors highly enough - not so certain members of the reception staff! I suffer…read morefrom PTSD, and I can suffer from severe panic attacks. This happened recently, and it caused me to faint. Later I was told that the receptionist said "Oh he's done this before - I'm on ho,d on the phone". NONE of the staff came to see if I was OK, and apparently I was left lying on the reception floor for several minutes UNATTENDED. I'm sorry, but at what point is it a sackable offence to OPENLY show contempt for patients in front of other patients? Eventually when I regained consciousness, I managed to take a seat, and was treated AS USUAL with care consideration and understanding by one of the doctors! Would they have ignored me if a woman had a panic attack? Sorry but in MY view, this is GROSS MISCONDUCT. I've seen some callous medical receptionists before, but this one was OPENLY HOSTILE. Hardly the face of the caring NHS!

I have been going to Bulkington Surgery for years now and I think it is a fantastic doctors. If…read morethey are taking on more NHS patients and you live in the area then I would certainly try to get in. Dr Jennings and Dr Paul are lovely and the receptionists are really rather nice as Doctors receptionists go! Its hard to get an appointment in advance but they save extras each day, so if you call before 9am you can usually get in that day. They also offer telephone consultation which is helpful if you are really ill or cant drive. Its got a decent car park so its easy to access. 10 / 10!

I left my Doctor of 17 years to come to this practice as they seemed to offer a lot more…read more Firstly, they have a lot going on for a Doctors surgery - lots of advice groups for things like family planning, diabetes, asthma. This is also a Doctor training centre - I was asked once if i'd mind my session being videoed to be used during training, this was perfectly optional though! One of the main reasons I left my last clinic was lack of female doctors, this surgery has at least one female doctor and also a nurse. If I phone up on a Monday I can expect an appointment for Wednesday which I think is pretty good going. This surgery is large and up to date with electronic 'check in' automatic doors etc. The car parking is also very adequate. This surgery has other branches - one is in Abbeyfields in Elstow which offers a good Saturday appoinment service. This is a great Doctors

It's a lot more modernised and ahead than some surgeries I've seen and the seating area is very comfortable and has a nice, relaxed atmosphere. There's als oa great area for children to play. The reception staff are very warm and inviting. The surgery has 10 doctors in total as well as a sexual health clinic and practise nurses. You can usually get an appointment on the very same day if you call before 8:30am though the waiting list is never longer than a couple of days anyway. The doctors make you feel welcome and I have never received anything but support from them.
