Florentina and Tegan work really well with us at the Clubhouse. They've come along and spoken to our group members, and they promote our service with their patients which is fantastic.

... s that not their fault and a couple not taking the advice given and behaving in a very rude entitled manner - the staff sat through this and engaged in a thoroughly professional & polite manner

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful 5-star review! We're delighted to hear that we were able to accommodate both you and your mum with same-day appointments, and we really appreciate your understanding when the booking details got mixed up initially. It's great to know our receptionist was able to sort this out quickly and that you received the apologies you deserved. We're particularly pleased that our doctor provided the empathetic care you needed. This is exactly the kind of patient care we strive to deliver. Thank you also for acknowledging the professionalism of our reception team. Unfortunately, our staff face challenging situations, and it means a lot to us that you noticed how they handled difficult moments with patience and courtesy. Thank you for sharing your positive experience! M Rolph Business Manager

I made a written complaint to this practice and followed all their rules. They stopped my diabetes medication without warning.
When I complained about it I was kicked off the register. I no longer have a doctor.
I have tried to get this sorted through all the proper channels but no one is listening, now I am just waiting until I get so ill that I am forced to take a hospital bed.

Very good. Excellent in fact. The service I get is very good. I saw a nurse today. It was easy making an appointment. I'm generally happy.

They do the best they can in the circumstances, we have a growing population around here and a lot of elderly people. Demand outstrips supply.
It is difficult because they only have on the day appointments. Yesterday there was only one receptionist on and it's too much for one person, elderly patients can't queue for too long.
Today was good for me though, they're very nice and very approachable, and I got everything that I needed.

I'm not impressed, I signed up as a temporary patient while I'm in Norfolk for a while. I had an appointment with a GP, I think it was a locum, I felt disrespected.
It was very rushed and it wasn't informative. The doctor seemed unprepared to discuss things with me, it felt very poor.
The reception staff today were brilliant though, I'd give them 5/5.

I recently took my toddler for his Pre school booster injections. Nurse Michelle Moncur was fantastic, what a lovely, friendly nurse with fantastic bed side manner. She was so kind and really engaged with my little boy. Thank you once again Watton Medical Practice for being great.

... so I let it lapse and then found out I've got arthritis and I'm not covered.
I told the surgery I wanted to complain, a lady spoke to me and said they'd been busy but they're dealing with it. I've not heard anything else from them and it's been months.
Everything is a battle although there are some good staff.

Dear Patient. I am sorry to hear that you have had a poor experience with our practice. This is not what we expect. If you wish to discuss this further please contact me. I will be happy to investigate and feedback as necessary. It is really important that patients provide both positive and negative feedback so we can use it for constructive training and learning. I look forward to hearing form you. Kind regards Tina Patient Services Manager

It's good. They're polite and efficient. If you have a problem they're always helpful, it's never too much of a chore. Sometimes you don't get past the triage but I'm not a doctor! No problems at all with the doctors themselves, I wouldn't change surgeries.

I'm happy with the surgery. You've got to get in early on the phone to get an appointment.
You can press number 8 and the phone system will call you back. Sometimes they refer me to Bury or I can get a same day appointment.
The level of care is good. You get informed of what's going on.
With luck my appointments are downstairs.

Thank you for your positive feedback about our care level and communication. We're pleased you find our call-back system (option 8) helpful and that you sometimes secure same-day appointments. Based on patient feedback about appointment timing challenges, we will be implementing an on-the-day appointment system with online same-day requests. Regarding your preference for downstairs appointments, please contact the surgery so we can better accommodate your needs rather than relying on luck! M. Rolph Business Manager
