Reviewers praise the reception staff and nurses as kind and friendly, and say the doctors are overall great. One long-standing patient says the staff have stayed for years. The views are mixed. Another reviewer felt dismissed when they said they would change their diet rather than take blood pressure medication, and suggests a dietitian could have been offered.
