- The appointment was on time. The nurse I thought was very professional.

- My experience with the Nurses that I've seen was brilliant. Not so good about my experience with a phone call with the doctor last week. She could be more helpful. I just asked if she could do me a blood test as I wasn't feeling so good and unfortunately she refused. Thank you.

- Very nice friendly helpful nurse who answered all my questions

- I've had more help from this surgery in a few months than I did at my last. I'm struggling mentally and the help and support has been amazing.

- The doctor was very helpful and well informed.

- Helpful receptionist and very efficient, lovely Nurse.

- The nurses were amazing with my 3 year old. However booking the appointment was difficult because the baby clinic is limited to Wednesday afternoons only which doesn't suit everyone. This was frustrating.

- The appointment was on time and I was able to discuss the ongoing medication and monitoring of it's effect.

- Friendly helpful doctor, really good communication and follow up care.

- Bit delayed going in so reason for good rather than excellent. Only short delay, Dr was patient and lovely and answered my questions.

- Difficulty getting through every time you ring, no continuity of care . Prescription service poor only lets the service add their comments not the patients. Made more difficult to get prescriptions. Feel for the elderly who have not got access to digital equipment having to pay postage to have their prescription sent to them. Having to wait at least a month for an appointment.

- The nurse made me feel very comfortable and was informative of what I need to do.

- I attended with my partner. There was very little waiting time. The doctor dealt with my visit well and arranged a follow up appointment.

- Reception are always lovely, the doctor made me feel very comfortable even though my issue is quite embarrassing.

- Doctor was very efficient, caring, professional, on time.

- I was seen within 10 minutes of my appointment time but the parking is an issue. I'm aware there's nothing the surgery can do about that though.

- Difficulty getting through on the phone to get an appointment.

- I have had a number of visits recently regarding a number of health issues. My first visit was with Dr White and the two following meetings with young doctors whose names I cannot remember all were first class dealing with me very professionally and in a compassionate way. Since signing up with the surgery, with one or two minor exceptions, the service has always been good.

- Sister Julie Van Mierlo was very professional, gave us a thorough check and the results of our blood tests and ordered our repeat prescriptions for us. Thank you.

- The practician I saw was excellent. She listened and understood my problem after having previous antibiotics, then has booked a follow up appointment and tests following current medication. Overall very kind, thorough and efficient.

- The Dr did not turn up so I was unable to have my appointment. The reception staff were very good (and apologetic, especially as I had waited for some time) but it does not change the fact that I got no service today. Another appointment has been made.

- Booking appointment is easy and quick. Staff are friendly and the senior nurse that I spoke to was really thorough and helpful. Also, I was able to collect medication to the pharmacy next door straight after my appointment. Overall I'm happy with the service.

- The dark haired receptionist at Broadway was very friendly & helpful. The doctor was very thorough with my baby today. I took him to urgent care earlier in the week but they said he just had a cold & everything was clear. As he was getting no better I came to you for a second opinion. The doctor today diagnosed a bacterial infection & gave medication to treat it. I felt that I was listened to & treated very professionally & he was a friendly helpful doctor. 

- Booking system needs to be made easier and more accessible for all. Times for booking are not convenient if you are in full time work. Overall a good service though!

- The doctor I saw was very patient and thorough and the receptionist who sorted my ensuing appointments was brilliant.

- I saw Dr Walsh for the first time. She came down to the waiting room and took me to her room.I appreciated this as because I rarely attend I am unsure where to actually go. Previously reception staff just call my name and assume I know which room.Also Dr Walsh was superb.

- Dr. Lindsay was very receptive to my concerns about my knee. He gave me reassuring advice and we agreed a game plan going forward. Suggested iron and magnesium levels should be checked. He also reassessed my risk of stroke/heart disease.

- The doctor was very informative and came across like he cared and listened to me regarding my concerns for my son.

- I always feel reassured when attending the surgery. All treatment is explained and I am given time to ask questions.

- I asked the doctor to look at something else minor while sat there, he told me to book another appointment which is ridiculous.

- Speedy, on time, good advice from GP.

- Nurses and doctors know what they're doing, if I really need help they usually can offer an appointment, clean, BUT the new phone system cut me off after an hour, I got to number two and it said the line was full.

- Doctor Asfour is very good with children. A lovely manner, plus the lady who booked the appointment gets a very good review as well.

- The nurse I saw was very lovely and kind and helpful and made me feel at ease.

- The admin person was amazing. The doctor as well. But it is so difficult to book an appointment. I have to wait twice more than 40 minutes to get there. The My GP app doesn't work. In my previous practice I used to book all my urgent and routine appointments using the app. One minute, done. You need to do something for this.

- I attended this morning for a Pneumonia Vaccine. The wait was minimal and the nurse who I saw was very professional and kind, I would give this nurse top marks for her kindness and professionalism.

- All staff, Doctors, Nurses and Reception staff are always very helpful, professional and kind. I can get an appointment when I need one and i am very pleased the service provided.

- Polite reception staff and extremely helpful as always considering how busy they are. Oliver the GP was easy to talk to and listened and provided useful advice.

- The whole patient experience was really well organised, from booking the appointment to actually attending. The text message appointment reminders are useful.

- Lovely, friendly, smiley nurse. Took great care of my Mum, thank you.

- The Nurse I seen was very helpful and kind and answered all questions I had.

- Lack of appointment and organisation within clinic. Delays with appointments. Not appropriate to keep babies waiting over and hour.

- Waited 30 minutes for my appointment. And the trainee Dr took an hour to diagnose me.

- Been given pot for sample no information as what to do were I take it? Gave a urine sample, reception didn't know what was happening with it, just stuck a post it note on it. No doubt it will go missing not filled with confidence today, sorry!

- The nurse was really good but i wasn't told I had to log in twice (gp appointment also) so sat there for 2.5 hours and then got into GP and he couldn't deal with my issue because he was a junior. I booked this appointment 3 weeks ago.

- The Dr checked thoroughly for my little boy. I was given very good support with my fit note and sick note from the GP surgery when I had my surgery. Admin staff were very helpful too. It takes long time on the phone waiting line sometimes, I think that's the only improvement point .Thank you.

- Dr Walsh is a very kind and friendly doctor, who always listens and helps.

- The care I have recieved for my recently diagnosed condition has been excellent from both the surgery and hospital I cannot speak highly enough about the NHS.

- Attentive doctor who listened to what I had to say and then discussed the issue with compassion. Thank you.

- Dr Phillipos was very kind, had good demeanour and explained everything clearly and explored my ideas, concerns & expectations thoroughly.

- Sat waiting for my appointment for 30 mins. I went to the desk and was told the doctor had not arrived as was stuck in traffic. I understand incidents happen but it would have been nice if somebody had announced it. I was told to ring back at 1 o'clock as there was no more morning appointments.

- Dr Webster is excellent, very caring and always takes time to explain.

- Face to face appointment very good but attempting to telephone the surgery is extremely time consuming
