Stephanie recently handled my eConsult and then took bloods at a later appointment. She was very professional and caring. Thanks for a great service.

I believe that not all patients need to see a doctor. I have had a few occasions where I have seen a nurse practitioner, who on every occasion have sorted my problems in a very professional way. Thank you, nurses.

To: Dr Zair
Birtley Medical Group, County durham
I had the very good fortune to have a telephone appt after some blood tests with Dr Zair, who then made a face to face appt for his next clinic in two days time. He is certainly very thorough and wanted to help resolve the problem, not only that he is very kind and polite and, above all, professional. A real asset to the practice and I hope he feels happy there. Thank you so much.

I registered with this doctor a month ago. I can not recommend it enough compared to my last doctor's. I saw Kate for my smear she was so friendly and welcoming. Then I saw Mikaela and Tracey for blood, they were very understanding and friendly. Definitely made the right decision registering with this doctor. Thank you again!

Spoke to Joanne who answered the phone quickly. She was very helpful, polite, and sympathetic to my query and made an appointment to be seen by an out-of-hours GP. Fantastic service, an asset to your team.

Excellent service from online econsult. Receptionist phoned the following morning and invited me to an appointment that day. Only waited 5 minutes to be seen by Dr Nicholson. Excellent service from all.

Alison you saw me last week and administered a steroid injection to my knee. For years I have struggled with pain/stiffness and lack of mobility. You have improved my pain by 90% and I thank you so much for your professionalism and care.

After an allergic reaction, I rang for a home visit this morning after a shaky start with the call system regarding times to call for appointments and home visits I was eventually steered in the right direction, and after a consultation with Dr Davidson who prescribed the appropriate medication which was organized for delivery, as I am housebound, a busy buy which deserves a big well done for the team.
