NOTE FROM A LOCUM MEMBER - 13th JANUARY 2012
I must say I love working at your surgery. The staff are so helpful and kind and it really makes a difference to my working life.
My warm wishes to all.
COMMENT FROM A PATIENT - 10th JANUARY 2012
Dr S Mukherjee kindly informed the team of Courtyard Surgery that our patient FH-M was full of compliments for the whole surgery on behalf of herself and her family members.
The patient felt that the service with us was much better than her previous surgery.
LETTER FROM A PATIENT - JANUARY 2012 To the Practice Manager I wanted to say that I have been really impressed with the service provided by the surgery. I was prompted to write this after recommending it to a friend, and saw lots of negative reviews on the NHS Choice website. I have almost always got appointments when needed. My children are under 3 yrs and have always been given urgent appointments if needed. I have found all the doctors good. Special note to Doctor Mukherjee who seems to be incredibly efficient, yet caring at the same time – very impressive given the short time it can be to see a doctor, as is standard anywhere. Also, I have found the reception team very helpful and friendly. Of special note over the years is Suzanne. She is always helpful, and particularly wonderful with children. […]. However, the NHS gets lots of criticism but I wanted to say how happy I have been at Courtyard Surgery. Many thanks to your team. Yours faithfully, S.T.
