Patient Feedback

We appreciate all of our patient feedback. Please see below some recent positive feedback received from one of our patients.

'Over the past 12-18 months, we have used the surgery more than we have in recent years, for both my children as well as myself and husband. On every occasion we have been seen quickly, with appointments made for either the same day or with very little wait. If further treatment/advice was needed, this has been swift and with full communication throughout'. 

'I know that positive feedback isn't always shared, but I really wanted to pass on our fabulous experience with yourselves, from the reception staff, to medical staff, it's has been very much appreciated'.
