"Not quite as bad as some of the reviews would..."

Since moving from the old Moor Park Surgery, there have been teething problems as is to be expected, but in general terms it is far better. The best improvement is among the reception staff who seem to be keen to give the best service that they are able to.

Okay, the waiting area could do with a less utility feel and could perhaps be improved with a few old magazines as in some other doctors surgeries (isn`t it so sad about the Titanic?) and much shorter waiting times for appointments.

Perhaps another doctor would be a thought.

All in all though, the regime is much improved.

There is one grevious annoyance in the waiting room that concerns the door into the waiting area from Garstang Road.

It should, instead of the door slamming device that seems to be fitted, have a door closing device that operates gently. Anyone waiting for a doctor who is suffering from a migraine, alcoholic remorse, or even a simple headache, would be well advised to wear ear plugs because the door bangs too, every couple of minutes. It is even more annoying when you realise, that for a simple adjustment of the unit, it could easily be fixed in a couple of minutes.

I`ve only visited 3 times since the practice moved, twice to the nurse and once to the doctor, so perhaps I have too little experience of normality. Even so, I have no reason to complain about the receptionists or the medical care.
