03/04/2025 Appointment perfect had only just sat down when I was called to have my hood test
03/04/2025 I was asked to attend to have my BP taken & a blood test. The nurse seemed unaware I was also having BP check & stated they?d only given her a 10 min appointment. Not sure why? Despite this she was very nice & did both. Blood test was painful tho
03/04/2025 It was all excellent. A calm atmosphere very professional and Kind nurse . Thank you.
04/04/2025 Always welcoming and courteous. The phlebotomist managed to quickly squeeze me in as I was quite early.
04/04/2025 Change not required.
04/04/2025 Refusing nursing services to a patient who has undergone major surgery and making them call 111 to get the required treatment shows no duty of care to the patient. It was wrong and should never have been allowed to happen. Utterly disgraceful.

04/04/2025 I would not change anything.  Excellent  friendly service  .Thank you .
04/04/2025 Instead of calling my name out loud in the surgery allocate me a number. My surname has caused me problems all my life and despite not being in a particular ethnic group I am am viewed as such by some people and this can be very difficult for me.

08/04/2025 No issues with my care

09/04/2025 My appointment today (for a health check) was conducted in a friendly & professional manner. I am very happy with the service Orchid House provides  overall, in these challenging times. Thank you.
09/04/2025 Nurse was great with her and was fast giving her the two jabs my only issue was the appointment was 25 minutes late and when you?ve got a 3 year old that?s a long time for them to wait knowing they?ve got to have an injection.
09/04/2025 Nada
09/04/2025 Nothing

10/04/2025 After an excellent consultation with Dr Gordon Turner, I was asked to return the next day for an ECG. Sandra Hadley was friendly and thorough and reassuring after the duty doctor’s review. I have booked a chest x-ray at Wimborne Hospital on 23/04/25.
11/04/2025 My latest appointment was for a blood test which was done by Josie exceptionally well as usual and with no bruising.
With regard to Orchid House practice, my only concern is the anxiety caused by calling at 8.30am and told I am 21 in the queue.

17/04/2025 I arrived for a blood appointment to check my iron as you had called me to arrange and the staff had no information about it other than that they knew it was arranged by you. I waited 15 minutes later than arranged and then had to just go home again.
