Walked in on my first visit to this surgery to find no hand gel to use before touching the screen to book in. No option to book in another way so had to continue without sanitiser. The screen told me to go to the waiting room but having not been to the surgery before I had no idea where that was. Couldnt see a sign (I did look around for quite a while) so asked someone behind the reception screen. The response was incredibly rude that it was on the sign above the screen. I asked them to clarify and got a huffed response just saying the same thing. I was left none the wiser and ended up wandering around until I found some chairs and asked another patient. Youd think in 2022 GP receptionists might consider that someone may need assistance beyond being directed to a sign they clearly cant see - huffing at me the way they did was an awful way to handle a simple question. Especially when asked to clarify. Fingers crossed my future appointments will be at my actual surgery and not this health centre

Had ingrown toe nail surgery done at the Podiatry clinic here. The two women performing the surgery were wonderful, very calm, reassuring and professional. Very skilled with the 4 local anesthetic injections I had! (2 per toe). I'm quite the needle phobe and after reading reviews online, which most of them are horror stories about the injections being really painful, I was very anxious going into it. But I barely felt a thing! I even said the injections were pleasant! A couple of times there was a bit of a sharp sting, which is just the anaesthetic being a bit acidic and not the needle (The needle is so small I honestly didn't even know it was in my toe. The slight sting from the anaesthesia was what gave it away that they were injecting me), even then that sting lasted no more then a 3 or 4 seconds each time. The rest of the procedure was very comfortable and pleasant. Of course the local anesthetic has completely numbed the toe, so you don't feel anything pain wise. The whole thing took about 50 minutes or so for both big toes to be done. Would absolutely recommend to anyone with ingrown nails.
