This is a small surgery situated just outside the main shopping area. Most of the doctors I used to know have now retired but the 'new wave' of GP's seem to be pleasant and competent. Their seems to be 3 or 4 regular doctors and a couple that they replace at regular intervals. Whether they are on placements or not I don't know but they all take the time to listen and you don't feel as though you are being pushed out of the door.
Dr's Savage and Brown are, in my opinion, the best doctors at this practice, with also the nicest 'bedside manner'. Dr Brown has treated me for a long term issue and he always takes the time to explain in plain English exactly what is going on and I cannot recommend him highly enough!
I have only marked this surgery down as in my opinion, it is sometimes let down by the attitude of the receptionists who seem, on occasion, to think that THEY are the doctors and they may snoop and ask probing questions. I would also say that a couple of them have a lack of discretion as when I went down to enquire as to the results of a test, the receptionist announced it without even attempting to lower her voice, to a packed waiting room.
Appointments are good and I can 99% of the time be seen within a week. Emergency appointments are sometimes available and you can always access a telephone consultation on request.
All in all an excellent practice with fabulous doctors, just try to ignore the receptionists! read more
