🌟 Feedback Friday! 🌟

We love ending the week by sharing the wonderful words our patients have for our amazing team.

This week, we’re celebrating Dr. A. Goddard, who received this heartfelt feedback:

“I had a scheduled appointment with Dr. A. Goddard this morning, 13 October, and just wanted to communicate my sincere gratitude for her respect, listening, and thorough treatment. Explanations were clear and I felt fully heard. I did not feel at all rushed but that I was being taken very seriously and with sincerity and care. I hope you can communicate this to Dr. Goddard and thank her, very much.”

Thank you to this patient for taking the time to share your experience — and well done, Dr. Goddard, for embodying our values of care, respect, and compassion in every appointment. 💙👏

🌟 Feedback Friday spotlight for our Pharmacist Samina 🌟

We love hearing from our patients — and this recent feedback truly made our day:

“I joined the practice 6 months ago and my discussion was, without doubt, the most considerate, helpful and thorough medical consultation I have had in many, many years.
Samina clearly listens extremely carefully and is totally focused on being helpful.
Her carefully thought-out and searching follow-up questions elicited a great deal of information that she was able to use to advise me how to use my medications more effectively and what symptoms to look out for.
She also advised me on my broader approach to health.
This was an unrushed experience that energised me enormously.
Terrific work, Samina! Many thanks.” 💬

A huge thank you to Samina for delivering such outstanding care — and to all our team members who go the extra mile every day to make a real difference for our patients. 💙
