What our patients say about us

I had a very positive experience. I arrived late but the doctor was still kind enough to see me. Throughout the consultation, the doctor was incredibly compassionate, patient and attentive. She listened carefully and made me feel heard and supported. A truly wonderful doctor – I’m grateful for the care I received.

-EM *****

I’ve been a patient at this surgery for several years, and I continue to be impressed by the professionalism, kindness, and efficiency of almost all the staff. From reception to nursing to the GPs themselves, the team works hard to make patients feel heard and supported. Appointments are well-managed, follow-ups are timely, and communication is clear. It’s reassuring to know that when health concerns arise, I’m in capable and compassionate hands. Thank you to the team for your continued dedication.

-OI *****

Bacon Lane surgery is one of best practices I have been registered with them since 2024 . Whenever I had appointment they discuss the issue in a proper way . They go deep in any medical issues and advise me the second step urgent referral for scans and more tests. I would prefer this practice for everyone.
