  I visited the surgery today for my HRT review, slightly dreading it if I am honest! I saw Dr. Green who was knowledgeable, funny, down to earth and most of all listened. I came out with not only a new prescription, but a huge smile on my face! i was a nurse for over 25 years and this sort of experience is hard to come by, but should very much be acknowledged. GP surgeries are taking a real bashing of late, unfoundedly in the case of Orchard Surgery. I also recently spoke with Jackie on reception last week who was so vey kind and helpful. We cannot fault our surgery.

  I spoke to a very helpful lady called Stacey who sent me through a link to upload photos for GP to review. She was friendly and dealt with everything quickly for me.

  I have worked alongside the Orchard surgery team for a good few years now and they are truly some of the most amazing people I have got to know. The doctors and nurses have amazing knowledge and always willing to teach me on the way! Always offering amazing support and care to service users. It’s been a pleasure to work alongside you all. Nothing is ever too big or small always on hand to help. Big thank you to Cat, Dr.Santosh, Ellie and all the lovely ladies on reception!

  Wanting to double check dosage on a new prescription, spoke to Jacinta. She was a joy to speak to, she took her time explaining to me and I didn’t feel as if I was imposing on her time at all.

  I have stopped taking one of my medication and no one has asked why until today. I received a call from the pharmacist for medication review. I felt like I was being listened to and I wasn’t rushed. She spent time explaining everything in detail so I got an education too! Outstanding level of service. Like the good old days. If I remembered correctly, her name is Jacintha. She's a credit to the surgery.

  Surgery had called me to book an appointment. Due to work commitments I always find it difficult to schedule an appt however I was informed that the surgery was open for appts on a Saturday morning which was music to my ears! When I arrived the receptionist knew who I was and then I was seen straight away. Nurse was very knowledgeable and efficient. The availability of a Saturday appt is extremely well received and there was nothing more the surgery could have done to improve my experience - keep up the good work.

  I rang Orchard Surgery and explained to the receptionist that I was flying out to Berlin in a couple of days and I had forgotten to order my repeat prescription for painkillers. She was very helpful and she would treat it as urgent and pass my message through to the prescription department straight away. Within about an hour I received a text message from Cat, the prescription department manager to say she had sorted my prescription out and authorised Tesco pharmacy, Dereham to package up my prescription. By the time I got to Tesco, my prescription was ready. I am so impressed and very pleased with the patient care shown by Orchard Surgery, Dereham and also the great teamwork between themselves and Tesco pharmacy.

  As somebody who is going a bit deaf it is nice that there is an online booking system as an alternative to using the telephone. It works well and follow up replies to queries and been impressively swift.
