General Practices England

Apologies for the long story, but it's a worthwhile read. At 9AM on Sunday 13th March I was due to jump in the car and drive down to get married after a 2 year COVID induced delay. At 4AM that morning a loud crack at my mouth woke me up, and to my horror I realised my bridge had fallen out and I now had a tooth sized gap in my smile. At 7AM, after 3 rather stressful hours I called the emergency number on Amsel & Wilkins answering machine which was immediately answered by Nigel. After explaining my emergency, Nigel told me to meet him at 8AM and he'd fix me right up. Nigel opened up the practice just for me, on a Sunday morning, and by 8.45AM I was walking back up Banbury High Street relaxed and stress-free (well as stress-free as you can be before your wedding) with all my teeth in my mouth - rather than in my pocket. By 4.30PM I was tucking into pork belly and crackling like nothing had happened. A huge thank you to Nigel from me and my new wife for saving my smile on our wedding day, as well as from our photographer who you saved from many, many hours of photoshop. Finally, my bestwoman thanks you for the additional story for her speech, one that received plenty of gasps and laughter. From a very appreciative patient for life.

I cannot thank Dorset Private GP enough. I couldn’t get an appointment with my own GP for several weeks and I felt I needed to be seen sooner. I couldn’t have been in better hands. I received a same day appointment, the appointment was on time, and the doctor listened. There was no rush throughout the appointment, the doctor asked relevant questions and was thorough, and professional and made referrals for further testing whilst I was with her. I’m glad I saw the doctor today rather than wait for my own GP in several weeks time as I did need further referrals made. The premises were clean and tidy, the reception staff polite and professional. I would highly recommend this private Gp practice without hesitation. I chose a 20 min appointment £89.00. As a new patient I had to fill in an online form and the reason I wanted the appointment. I found it easier to write the whole reason I wanted to see the doctor as this helped them see, in advance, why you want to see them and then on your visit they can concentrate on you, the patient and examine you. Please refer to their website for further appointment times, and what services are available. The bonus is you remain registered with your own NHS doctor, you don’t lose that. Thank you Dorset Private GP you have been amazing and helped me so much.
