Clare Holland is one of the best doctors I’ve had goes above and beyond to help me with my problem and has always informed me no matter the time of day of any results of any tests I’ve had and always cares a lot to arrange tests for me to make sure I’m getting the best care I need and gives good medical and health advice. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a great doctor.

I find whether I ring the surgery or I fill in a form online the whole team are fabulous. I am always treated with the upmost respect and compassion and have never been made to feel like I’m “just another patient”. Whatever my issue is, it’s always dealt with promptly and courteously. Cannot fault this practice.

I was seen very promptly after uploading my details on Anima. Helen assessed my problems and I felt she listened to my concerns and I left assured by her suggestions.

Staff very friendly and professional. Quick response from initial contact. The surgery was very clean, comfortable and welcoming.
Posted on: 25/07/2024
Had a responce on Anima within 10 minutes of sending. Saying a Dr will ring you. The phone call was came shortly after this message. I can understand why sometimes there is a wait when its a busy time.

Receptionist was informative, kind and caring with a sense of humour.

I would highly recommend Dean Cross Surgery to friends and family. GPs, in particular Dr Clare Holland, nursing staff and reception staff are brilliant.

The GP I saw was so calm, and friendly. Which meant my little boy was able to get checked properly as he wasn't crying and fighting them off. She gave him a sticker which he hasn't let go of since. Thanks for your patience
Posted on: 10/07/2024
Very happy

Dr Woodward was amazing. Such a good GP she saw us quickly. Called to check up on us later that evening after she had heard from the hospital. Very happy with the service we received. Was a very worrying time for me as him mum and the Dr helped me so much.

My consultation was very thorough and Doctor Woodward was excellent as usual

Posted on: 23/05/2024
Using the on-line systym is quick and easy. If deamed necessary the nurse practioner/ Dr will contact you the same day and expand on the information you give them, then make a plan from there.
Posted on: 23/05/2024
Fabulous response time to my anima request. Dean Cross are always amazing and have provided outstanding care to myself and my family for several years since we moved to the area. Every time we have have reached out to seek support from a GP or practise nurse, we have been listened to and supported quickly and received excellent support. We cannot fault the practice in any way. The admin team are superb and go out of their way to be helpful. I cannot adequately express my thanks to the whole practice for their care and concern for myself and my family.
Posted on: 16/05/2024

Posted on: 10/04/2024
Always get to see someone either clinicians or Doctors I am getting more familiar with Anima and realise that it’s the way things are going forward But not easy for us older ones. I have been on Deanxsurgery for 50 years and have had the best experience and hope that it continues .
Posted on: 03/04/2024
Felt listened too , and confident that the right course of action taken also offered a follow up via text , rather than going through the whole appointment system again.
Posted on: 01/04/2024
I have always had excellent care from my GP, and indeed all of the GP's at Dean Cross Surgery in PLYMSTOCK. I consider myself to be extremely lucky to be under their care. I honestly do not know, how I would have gotten through the past 4+ years (post COVID) without Dr Clare Holland's help and guidance (my GP). That said, everyone at the practice; doctors, admin, receptionists, counsellors, physios etc, are all incredible and I for one, would be lost without them!
Posted on: 29/03/2024
The nurse was very kind and reassuring throughout my appointment. My appointment was on time and I didn’t feel rushed at all
Posted on: 28/03/2024
Reception always friendly and helpful
Posted on: 27/03/2024
I'm always happy with the services I receive, I have a very positive view of the practice and all staff are wonderful from the receptionist team to the nurses and doctors, and the pharmacist. I've always felt I was in good hands at Deans Cross and that my healthcare is well looked after.
Posted on: 27/03/2024
Attentive staff who considered my symptoms and gave balanced advice.
Posted on: 27/03/2024
Because you all give an excellent service and friendly helpful staff. Gold star, well done

Always able to get help fast

Posted on: 28/02/2024
I don’t have to wait very long to see my GP or Nurse Practitioner when I attend my appointments & they are very understanding and supportive.
Posted on: 27/02/2024
Used Anima for initial contact. Had a reply within 10 minutes with an appt for a face to face consultation within 6 days. Was very impressed.
Posted on: 08/02/2024
The staff were informative, answering any questions at the appropriate level. I was also impressed with the confident and relaxed way the practioners dealt with me.
Posted on: 08/02/2024
Anima worked really well, was phoned back within 20 mins of submitting the form with an offer of an appointment later that morning

We cannot thank the team who looked after my Father-in-Law today enough. He had suffered a nasty fall on a Saturday where by chance the Dean Cross Surgery was open for extra clinic appointments. Kind passers by, and the police who were quickly on the scene, helped him into the surgery. Our special thanks to those on duty today - Dr Woodward, the wonderful nurse Anne, and the caring receptionist all gave him the love and care that the NHS is rightly known for. Later he was taken to Derriford with his daughter in attendance where once again he was met with the utmost kindness and compassion. Amazing peope and it is truly humbling to witness first-hand the service they provide to those in need.
