Poor! (88 reviews)
Feedback on this practice reveals a deeply divided patient experience with significant operational challenges alongside pockets of genuine appreciation. Appointment access emerges as the most persistent concern, with patients reporting difficulty securing consultations within reasonable timeframes, lengthy phone queues, and a booking system that many find confusing or inaccessible. Reception experience is similarly polarized, with some patients describing staff as welcoming and supportive whilst others report discourteous, dismissive, or unhelpful interactions. Communication failures appear systemic, including delayed responses to emails, unprocessed prescription requests, and inadequate follow-up on test results.
Where the practice receives consistent praise is in clinical care and nursing support. Patients frequently commend the medical staff for compassion, professionalism, and thorough attention during consultations. The nursing team is repeatedly described as warm, supportive, and skilled. Telephone consultations are valued by those who can access them, and prescription services generally function well when they proceed smoothly. However, these positive clinical experiences are often overshadowed by frustration with the administrative systems that precede them.
Accessibility barriers are noted across multiple dimensions, including complex online booking interfaces, limited phone availability, and physical accessibility concerns. The practice's shift towards online systems and away from phone contact, whilst intended to manage demand, has created obstacles for some patients. Overall, the feedback suggests a practice with capable medical professionals operating within systems that struggle to meet patient needs for timely access and responsive communication.

Excellent!
Fantastic medical care for decades and counting
I've been a patient at this medical practice since 1984 and have consistently been thoroughly satisfied with the care provided. The entire team demonstrates exceptional friendliness and support, while the physicians are both highly skilled and compassionate. Like many medical offices, they experience high patient volume, which can make scheduling appointments challenging, but they are always responsive during urgent situations and make every effort to accommodate patients with an available doctor. I am completely committed to remaining with this practice and have no intention of seeking care elsewhere!

Frustrating service with unhelpful and rude receptionists
The majority of the reception staff are discourteous, particularly the one working today (Thursday), with only a rare few displaying any politeness. Scheduling an appointment is extremely challenging. It's inappropriate when receptionists question whether you need an appointment - obviously, I wouldn't be calling if I didn't require one. Moreover, they shouldn't probe into patients' medical issues, as they aren't medical professionals. When calling at 8am, you're often told no appointments are available, which I find completely unacceptable. I'm seriously considering finding a different medical practice.

Terrible service for busy london professionals
Absolutely useless for London professionals, entirely incapable of providing any assistance during evening hours and simply stating that 'no solutions were possible'. Totally unacceptable for hardworking individuals who require medical care beyond standard business times.

Great!
Convenient telehealth service with room for improvement
Excellent resource! After experiencing several similar services, this one stands out. The ability to connect with a physician via telephone consultation is incredibly convenient, particularly when work commitments make in-person visits challenging. Like most offerings, there's still room for enhancement.

Frustrating healthcare experience with impossible access
Securing an appointment with a familiar general practitioner within a 1-2 week window has become incredibly challenging. The clinic's booking system limits scheduling beyond a 4-week horizon, and their online prescription platform is frustratingly complex, with an overly convoluted password mechanism that creates significant barriers, especially for individuals with disabilities who struggle with mobility. I'm on the verge of abandoning hope for obtaining the medical treatment and medications I desperately require.
