Because it is the most appropriate answer. The doctor, her name escapes me, was brilliant with her enquiry. She wanted to know how I was after the various tests that I had.

Dr Ramona was very helpful, kind, sympathetic, supportive and thorough.
Posted on: 09/01/2026
Very fast response to my online appointment request, had a call the next morning and seen same day .
Seen by GP who listened to my symptoms, understood the issue quickly , examined me appropriately, gave clear diagnosis and management instructions, with follow up advice if situation changed and required more urgent assessment.
As someone who comes from an NHS background , but also as a patient requiring care I was very impressed with the whole experience . I have no hesitation in recommending this practice to others looking to register with a local gp service.
Posted on: 09/01/2026
Rapid response to my online form. Offered a same day appointment to see GP. Saw GP who was very kind, professional and thorough. She listened carefully, prescribed antibiotics and also clear guidance as to what to do if the problem did not improve. Excellent service from beginning to end.
Posted on: 09/01/2026
The best Gp practice by far. Informative, compassionate and really wants what is best for patient. The service is quick and efficient. DR K Shah as always a brillint gp.
Posted on: 09/01/2026
I filled the online form, and five minutes later I received a call from the GP offering me an appointment.
In addition, the Doctor was very professional and kind, made me feel relaxed.
Posted on: 08/01/2026
From the time I received a message for my test to the time I received the report and Dr consultation was pretty fast.
Posted on: 08/01/2026
It was good,but I would prefer face to face communication because you can discuss more details about your situation .
Posted on: 08/01/2026
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for my doctor’s care. My condition has been closely monitored, and all possible causes have been carefully considered. The prompt review of my blood test results made me feel safe and reassured. The doctor’s professional and friendly manner gave me confidence and comfort during my appointments.
I would also like to share a concern regarding the reception desk staff. While I understand the pressures of a busy environment, I have noticed that the staff do not usually smile or make eye contact when patients ask questions. A slightly warmer and more approachable attitude could help patients feel more welcome and supported.
Posted on: 08/01/2026
Doctor and reception always helpful quick appointment , always made to feel they are listening
Posted on: 08/01/2026

Posted on: 06/01/2026
Got a very quick appointment
Posted on: 06/01/2026
The only thing I went is to improve the call waiting.
