·  Satisfied with present arrangements

·  All staff are brilliant and so helpful

·  Drs try to be more friendly. No talk about other patients moaning

·  Reception tries their best. Doctors not available every day- should have had a review last September. Nurses excellent, always can get an appointment for next time.
