I've been going to this practice since it opened, and have never had anything but excellent care. I'm complicated too - lots of issues, and a chronic disease that has a mind of its own. When my regular GP left, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the care has been just as good, and the new doctors are as brilliant as their predecessors - at least, that has been my experience, and I probably use and test them more than most. Also, and very importantly, the staff on reception are always excellent. Not the stroppy harridans you hear about from people frightened of their own surgeries. It makes a world of difference to be treated kindly, and listened to, from the moment you go in the door. When we moved home recently, a huge part of where we would go was that we remain in the catchment area for The Vale. Some things are too precious to lose.
