Orchard House Surgery


Works well

Getting appointment works well as it's mainly on the day. I've used econsult and had very quick repsonses when I've sent photos through and had a call back and had an appointment the same day. When I did speak to a doctor about ear problems they advised I should go and have the wax removed and have a hearing test at somewhere like specsavers but when I did this the Suffolk provider said I needed to go to a Cambridgeshire service and then they said no it should be a Suffolk provider who did the test. I think the difficulty was caused because I live in Cambridgeshire but my GP Practice is in Suffolk. In the end the Cambridgeshire service did everything that I needed. Just a shame surgeries don't offer the wax removal any more.
