I saw Dr Hird and he was very friendly and patient. Excellent GP. I think the waiting room is a little bit "tired" and the toilet needs a soap dispenser that works and a brighter light. They definitely should NOT play music in the waiting room. I would prefer peace. The music is not to my taste. I went the other day and fortunately the radio was off this time. Please take note, I do not want to listen to Radio 2 and the the greatest hits from 1985. If you want to play music put some Gregorian plainsong on or Monteverdi madrigals. The point is that you will never please everybody or even a majority by just putting a bland music station on, so please just let us wait in peace, read a magazine as is traditional...but it is still a very good practice...
I saw Dr Hird today and was very impressed. He was friendly, welcoming and gave clear advice in his consultation.
Everyone is so nice even as busy as they are doctors are always very supportive and very caring
On the whole, all the staff are exceptional (but there have been the odd few I've not wanted to talk to again - reception/pharmacy). I've been registered at a few surgeries in the past but this one is far superior - over my time there I've seen most of the GPs and they're professional yet empathetic. 99% of the time my appointment has been late but it's hard to complain because I know that's only because the GPs are taking the time to talk to each patient as they should.
Dr Simkins has supported my disabled daughter over the last few years and the care she gives is totally exceptional. She address my daughter directly and makes her feel valued and important. Without her support our lives as carers would be much more difficult. A truly exceptional GP to whom we are really grateful
