The practice demonstrates strong medical care with compassionate and professional physicians who are consistently praised for their expertise and patient-centered approach. However, appointment access remains a significant challenge, with many patients reporting substantial difficulties securing consultations through both telephone and online booking systems. Reception experience is notably mixed, with some patients describing welcoming and helpful staff while others report discourteous behaviour and poor communication. Digital systems receive both praise for user-friendly design and criticism for functionality issues and unresponsiveness to online submissions. Waiting periods for routine services such as physiotherapy and specialist referrals are frequently cited as problematic. Despite these operational challenges, patients value the continuity of care and responsiveness they experience once appointments are secured, with many expressing confidence in individual practitioners and their commitment to patient welfare.
Communication gaps emerge as a recurring theme, particularly regarding referral follow-up, prescription management, and appointment confirmation. Some patients note improvements in specific areas such as same-day telephone consultations when contact is successfully made, whilst others describe frustration with delayed responses to online forms and unclear processes for accessing care. The practice's approach to appointment scheduling has evolved, with some describing it as streamlined and others finding it inaccessible or impractical for working patients.
Overall, the feedback reflects a practice with dedicated medical professionals delivering quality clinical care, but facing systemic pressures that impact appointment availability, reception courtesy, and communication consistency. Patients seeking routine preventive care report better experiences than those requiring urgent or acute consultations, suggesting capacity constraints affect service delivery across different care pathways.

Compassionate doctor helps patient through difficult time
On August 26th at 2:40, I met with a general practitioner whose name escapes me, but the consultation was exceptional. The doctor demonstrated remarkable compassion and expertise, thoroughly addressing my medical concerns and providing comprehensive answers to all my queries. This encounter was particularly meaningful as I'm navigating a difficult emotional period following my husband's passing in June. I am genuinely grateful for the understanding and care I received during this appointment.

Exceptional care and compassion at local surgery
We've been registered with this medical practice since 2012, and throughout that entire period, I can't recall a single negative encounter. Having two young children, I've never felt embarrassed about the (potentially trivial) reasons I've brought them in for consultations. The reception team are incredibly supportive and consistently go out of their way to help. Every single GP and nursing professional are genuinely warm and welcoming - and this isn't just a facade for the children, but extends to me as well. Appointments never feel hurried, and you always feel genuinely heard. While all the doctors are fantastic, Dr. Kelly specifically has motivated me to share this review. I recently visited with my 4 and 8-year-old for separate medical concerns, and she was absolutely wonderful with both. She took considerable time and care examining the children, actively engaging and involving them in the conversation rather than just speaking to me. When discussing potential blood work with my 8-year-old daughter, Dr. Kelly patiently answered every single one of her questions. I sincerely hope the surgery staff can read this review, as they truly deserve to know how exceptional their work is. We are incredibly fortunate to have our magnificent NHS! 💙

Worst pharmacy experience ever terrible service
These pharmacists are completely incompetent. Their lack of precision is alarming, with careless handling of prescription medications and a total disregard for accurate verification. Their communication is frustratingly poor, and the customer service representatives are consistently uncooperative and dismissive, which only compounds the already unacceptable situation.

Compassionate care that truly made a difference
I am thoroughly delighted with the exceptional care provided by Claremont. Dr Williams has been an incredible source of support during a significant health challenge, making me feel truly heard and valued. Her approach consistently demonstrated a genuine commitment to my well-being. Additionally, the administrative staff, particularly Sharon, have been outstanding in swiftly facilitating my requests for medical documentation.

Exceptional healthcare when i needed it most
I must admit, the start of the year was challenging, and I found myself consulting medical professionals multiple times. Each time I required assistance, I was promptly attended to. While there are often discouraging accounts circulating about the NHS, the team at Claremont has been absolutely exceptional. Their professionalism and care have been outstanding. A sincere thank you to everyone involved - your support has been invaluable!

Compassionate nurse who truly listens and cares
Nurse Suzanne is truly outstanding! She's incredibly compassionate, thoughtful, and attentive, making sure to cover every single aspect. What sets her apart is her ability to provide comprehensive information and clear explanations. Most crucially, she genuinely listens after asking thorough questions, and her 10-15 minute consultation feels unhurried and personal. I'd gladly give her 6 stars if I could :) Gratitude!

Exceptional healthcare with compassionate and responsive staff
Exceptional medical team with outstanding personnel, both doctors and support staff. They consistently provide top-notch assistance and clear communication, whether you're interacting via telephone or face-to-face. During my recent vacation, I accidentally left my medication behind, and they promptly issued a prescription to a local pharmacy, with the doctor sending a confirmation message to ensure everything was taken care of.

Poor!
Frustrating healthcare experience with unhelpful staff
Absolutely dreadful service. Securing a consultation with my general practitioner to obtain a referral for a specialist consultation has proven to be an insurmountable challenge, even after an emergency room visit overseas that strongly recommended I follow up with my GP about scheduling a cardiac MRI and consulting a specialist regarding my arrhythmia. The reception staff seem completely uninterested in helping, making the process incredibly frustrating. I've attempted to book an appointment twice this week, and their online booking system is non-functional. Now I've been instructed to call back yet again next week, prolonging this already exhausting ordeal.

Poor!
Frustrating clinic with poor appointment accessibility
The staff were courteous, and the clinic is adequate for scheduling routine check-ups in advance like vaccinations and screenings. However, securing an appointment when actually ill was consistently challenging. Especially for in-person consultations. Typically, I was only offered a phone consultation several days later with no specific time slot, which is entirely impractical and likely causes numerous missed interactions. It seemed the practice had no real intention of returning to standard service levels post-2020. I've subsequently changed GP practices and found a local alternative with a much more patient-centered appointment approach. Response to Claremont: Suggesting I was attempting to book at the incorrect clinic is both absurd and offensive. The reason no appointments appear for me this year is simply that I could not secure one meeting my requirements. Just three weeks ago, on the same day I transferred clinics, I successfully obtained an appointment elsewhere. My review represents an honest, personal account intended to help others researching local healthcare options. From my perspective - you have absolutely not delivered 'the best availability in London'

Poor!
Rude staff ruins otherwise pleasant medical experience
During my medical appointment this afternoon, the young staff member who assisted me was delightful and courteous. However, I was deeply upset when a tanned blonde woman with fair hair openly mocked me in front of her colleague dressed in black, who momentarily left the reception desk to refill her water bottle. This same individual then proceeded to ridicule me again when I was helpfully assisting another patient who had recently moved to the area and was uncertain about her postcode - a location I was familiar with from my previous residence. Her behavior seemed particularly inappropriate, and I cannot help but wonder if her actions were motivated by prejudice, either due to her discomfort with a Black person speaking with a distinctly English accent or simply a broader racial bias.

Exceptional medical care that exceeded my expectations
I rarely write reviews, but the Claremont Medical Centre has truly compelled me to share my experience. Previously, I dealt with another healthcare provider where scheduling appointments, obtaining prescriptions, and receiving quality service was consistently challenging. In stark contrast, Claremont Medical Centre has been exceptional. Their online appointment system is straightforward, and I've consistently received a response and scheduled a visit within 24 hours. During a time when I required immediate medical attention, they accommodated me with a same-day appointment. The staff, from the receptionists to the doctors, are remarkably courteous and attentive. The physicians genuinely listen and provide excellent care. I cannot recommend this medical center highly enough - their service is truly outstanding.

Frustrating prescription system ruins helpful staff experience
The staff at Raleigh, Claremont, and Rolle are truly commendable. Sadly, their genuine attempts to help are completely undermined by systemic shortcomings. For the seventh consecutive month, I've encountered difficulties when trying to reorder a repeat prescription. Additionally, the "system online close" feature is utterly nonsensical. It misleads you by presenting a function for selection, only to inform you that the selected option is unavailable!
