They’ve been amazing
I recently moved to St James surgery and honestly, I have nothing but positive things to say, from onboarding, to appointments and prescriptions, they’ve been amazing. Cannot recommend and thank them enough for the service they’ve provided thus far.

Annual coronary heart disease check up
Cheerful welcome from the gentleman on reception. Called through by nurse on time, no delay. Cheerful friendly nurse, explained procedures, checked blood pressure and took blood samples. As always very proficient.

Blood test
Seen by the lovely Ruth. As I am a bit anaemic she had a job finding a vein. She was successful on the second attempt and we both shared a laugh over it.

Reply from St James' Surgery
Dear Ms Dunn,
Unfortunately on Friday we experienced a National IT issue which affected our clinical system. We were unable to view any appointments or view any patients records. This meant that for telephone appointments we could not view the patients telephone numbers. We do apologise that you were not called, please do contact us if you still require an appointment.

Felt listened to and understood. Good advice given.

Follow up after blood tests
I went back to see Dr Holwerda after having blood tests to see what could be done next to help with my problem. She has referred me to see a consultant and was extremely helpful.

I needed a repeat prescription and wanted to discuss it with Shwain Rachid. I phoned on a Friday morning and he rang me on Friday afternoon. He always has time for me to discuss my medication

Very quick response.
Dr Reinecke contacted the appropriate department at the William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, and I arrived there the same day. I was supposed to have surgery, but that was before a couple of more severe cases came in.

Excellent
Reception staff helpful when booking appointment. Upon entry waiting room is welcoming, setup is good with smart new chairs. Appointment exactly on time and, as always, Dr Helwaerda (apologies for spelling!) was excellent. No wonder there is a waiting time to see her. Onward treatment booked efficiently by friendly receptionist.

Amazing GP
I spoke to Dr Holwerda about my fertility issues and she was so proactive and helpful. The other GP I spoke to about this issue wasn't invested but she really cared and I am happy she sorted my issue.
