I have been registered at Orchard House surgery for around 8 years now.
This is a big practise, with around 10 doctors and 4 nurses rooms. Its all on one floor, and the reception area is very quiet and laid back, and is well looked after. There is a small play area to keep children occupied while waiting. Doctors rooms are split into two different corridors.
Waiting times can be very long, my longest was a 25 minute wait after my appointment time.
They recently installed a new telephone system, which is rubbish, as you can only get an appointment for at least a week later, so its better to just hold and speak to a receptionist.
The doctors are highly professional, and are great at their jobs. The nurses run regular clinics, including a quit smoking and asthma ones. read more
