I had been coming to this Doctors surgery for 25 years, and think I took them for granted. To be honest, they have the longest wait ever and it used to drive me mad. However, a few house moves and different GPs later, I now appreciate them for the brilliant GPs that they are, and they are definitely worth the wait.
They take the time to listen to you, take note of what you actually want, and seem to want what is best for you rather than to get you out of the door as fast as possible and get a fat salary. I guess this is why the appointment times over run!
The surgery in Arley is a little outdated and could do with a revamp, but who cares when you get the medical help you need. In comparison, the other GP I was with has a nice complaint winging it's way to the nhs complaints team after I was told I was "a bit anal" for asking about nutrition advice, and being told you jump up and down after all the pills I take so he could hear me rattle!!
So I've managed to get near enough to my old GPs and this time I really value them. I would strongly recommend them. They also dispense if you live in the village. They have their own free car park too. read more
