Fantastic. We moved surgeries as we were unhappy with the service we were getting elsewhere. Everything about this practice is positive. It's clean, open, comfortable and the staff are just lovely. Reception are incredibly polite and they smile! Our Dr, Dr Pinel is wonderfully reassuring and gives you confidence she knows what she is doing. Thank you :)

Never had a bad experience here at Brookwater General Practice. My husband, daughter & I used to see Dr Fiser but since she has left, we have been seeing Dr Lorenz. Dr Lorenz is great, has a great friendly attitude - always happy & always happy to help. Office & nurse staff are also excellent & very friendly. Will continue to come.
