Oakwood Surgery

April 23 More great service - I ran out of my prescription (my fault) while away. The surgery arranged for a new prescription to be signed off and sent to a surgery in the south of England which I was able to pick up. No problem getting through on the phone despite it being a busy Monday morning. Previous comment - Every so often there are criticisms of GPs in the National Press; GPs are currently (Sept 2021) being criticised in the Daily Mail etc. I have been a patient of this practice for many years and have invariably had any issues dealt with quickly and courteously; sometimes it has been the GP, on others a Receptionist or Practice Nurse. It is easy to get an appointment at a time that suits me and I have always felt that whoever has seen me has given me the time that I needed and dealt with me in a very professional and caring manner. I suspect that there are some practices and some individuals for whom the criticisms are justified but this practice is not one of them. If you are lucky enough to live in Oakwood I would recommend this practice very highly

Used for a few years. It was ok. Staff very nice but did mess up a couple of my appointments.

Myself and family are registered here, have nothing but positive things to say, they've looked after us and our children really well. Can normally speak to a GP same day if urgent. Non urgent appointments can take a bit longer but never too long. Find the app and use of tech makes things easy to book and review. Scripts normally done same day to a convenient pharmacy. All in all very happy

We used Oakwood surgery while we lived in Leeds for 5 years, and both my partner and myself had disappointing/embarrassing consultations. I won't go into details here, but both of us felt demeaned during examinations on separate occasions. I personally found their GPs condescending and especially dismissive in tone. GPs these days are tasked simply with putting the patient off for as long as they can get away with. I understand they are under excessive pressure due to continuing ideological cuts to budgets by consecutive conservative governments, but these guys seem to have lost the essence of healthcare - compassion.
