Feedback across this file reveals persistent challenges with reception experience and appointment access, alongside notable inconsistencies in service quality. Patients frequently report difficulties reaching the practice by phone, with long waiting times, dropped calls, and poor responsiveness to booking requests. Reception staff conduct is a dominant concern, with multiple accounts of discourteous behaviour, dismissive attitudes, and lack of empathy when handling patient inquiries. Administrative processes, including e-consultation management and prescription handling, are described as disorganised and lacking clear communication, sometimes resulting in missed follow-ups and delayed responses.
In contrast, clinical staff including doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals receive consistent praise for professionalism, thoroughness, and genuine care. Several patients highlight exceptional individual practitioners who demonstrate responsiveness, supportive care, and attentiveness to patient needs. This stark contrast suggests the practice's core medical provision is sound, but the booking and reception experience significantly undermines overall patient confidence and satisfaction.
Patients express frustration that appointment availability remains limited despite extended waiting periods, and that the practice environment feels unwelcoming rather than reassuring. While some recent reviews note service improvements and acknowledge the challenging nature of reception work, the cumulative feedback indicates systemic issues requiring attention to communication protocols, staff training, and administrative organisation to better support patients seeking timely medical care.

Terrible medical practice avoid at all costs
Absolutely appalling service! The most incompetent GP practice imaginable. The receptionist is incredibly discourteous and barely picks up the phone. Avoid this place at all costs. It's shocking that such unprofessional staff are part of the healthcare system.

Worst medical practice ever avoid at all costs
Absolutely appalling service! Getting an appointment with a doctor seems impossible, and the receptionist's attitude on the phone is terrible. They rarely pick up, and when they do, you're left waiting endlessly, only to get disconnected. The pharmacy is perpetually out of stock, forcing you to run around to other pharmacies just to get your medications. I'm baffled as to how this medical practice continues to operate.

Frustrating bus delay leads to missed medical appointment
I don't have any issues with the medical practice's actual services, but I was unable to attend my scheduled appointment due to transportation challenges. The main frustration stems from the absence of accessible contact information. While the surgery offers late-night appointments, there's no corresponding phone support for patients experiencing difficulties. Both contact numbers I attempted to use only provided automated messages indicating the surgery was closed, which left me unable to notify them about my situation. They desperately need to implement late-night telephone support to assist patients.

Terrible service and unprofessional medical staff nightmare
Who employs these receptionists? They are absolutely disrespectful and appalling in how they communicate with vulnerable patients! I am deeply offended by the way they spoke to my mother on the phone. Dr. Kapoor must investigate who is hiring these unprofessional, miserable women. Every single week there's a confrontation before medications are dispensed. A complete group of incompetents managing this medical practice. It's nothing but constant finger-pointing between doctors and receptionists. What a complete farce!

Unprofessional and insensitive medical staff nightmare
This concerns an interaction with a staff member named Kay. My young adult family member, whom I'll refer to as T, called to inquire about a standard medical service procedure. During her call, the conversation unexpectedly escalated. When I noticed T becoming distressed, I took the phone and introduced myself to Kay. However, before I could explain the situation, Kay immediately demanded to speak directly to T. I informed her that T was experiencing anxiety and, given her history of seizures, I was intervening to prevent potential distress. Kay persisted, insisting on speaking with T and claiming the conversation was harmless. Upon hearing Kay's communication style, I was appalled by her unprofessional demeanor and harsh vocal tone. As a professional, she should understand how to appropriately interact with vulnerable patients. Despite my clear explanations about why I had taken the phone, Kay remained stubbornly fixated on speaking with T, demonstrating a complete lack of empathy and concern for patient well-being. I sincerely hope no other patients encounter Kay. She desperately needs additional training in communication and interpersonal skills, especially when working with vulnerable individuals.

Avoid this place at all costs. This is hands down the most terrible medical practice I've encountered. The staff and management are absolutely horrible, bordering on demonic in their treatment and approach.

Frustrating experience with disorganized medical service
I signed up but never received the scheduled telehealth consultation. When I tried to follow up, it appeared I would need to complete the entire online intake form again from scratch. I'm now forced to make an additional in-person visit next week just to understand the status of my medical request. The administrative process seems completely disjointed. If I hadn't relocated recently, I would have preferred to continue with my previous healthcare provider. 😒

Nightmare healthcare experience at local medical center
Undoubtedly the most appalling medical facility I've ever encountered. Following a prolonged wait for a phone consultation, they abruptly cancelled on the day due to the physician's illness... forcing me to endure another week before receiving a call where they barely paid attention when I requested a prescription for my child. Upon collecting the prescription, everything was completely incorrect. The service was absolutely dreadful. I've never been subjected to such incompetence and have no intention of attempting to rectify the situation. The most frustrating aspect is the limited healthcare options available in Leyton.

Worst healthcare experience in 25 miserable years
After nearly a quarter-century enduring this dreadful medical practice, I've finally reached my breaking point with their staggering incompetence, malevolence, and sheer idiocy. I'm dismayed that I'm compelled to award one star just to share my perspective, and even more frustrated that a more negative rating isn't possible. Choosing the thumbs down emoji 👎 over the 'poo' option feels more appropriate, especially since Google's mandatory smiley face obscures the true sentiment. Thus, I'm bestowing Leyton healthcare 👎👎👎👎👎👎 of the worst: one👎 for the mandatory star, and five 👎👎👎👎👎 for their abysmal service spanning decades. Attempting to contact this ghastly practice by telephone is an exercise in futility, with alternative communication channels seemingly intentionally obstructed. Skeptical? Visit their website and attempt contact—I cannot guarantee your mental well-being afterward. You'll be curtly informed that your call is unwelcome, advised to retry at an unspecified "opportune" time. Persistent attempts yield only soul-crushing hold 'music' and a smug automated voice announcing your ever-fluctuating queue position—reminiscent of a dubious financial scam. For pay-as-you-go phone users, this experience can be financially devastating. I've personally endured hour-long waits only to have my inquiry dismissed in mere seconds—hardly conducive to mental health for a supposed healthcare center. Compounding their previously mentioned incompetence, malice, and stupidity, I must now highlight outright negligence. Living with heart disease, my medication is non-negotiable and requires medical supervision. Despite maintaining a five-year repeat prescription and my pharmacy sending six reminder emails, I've exhausted my supply. Given their documented communication barriers, attempting resolution via telephone seems counterproductive to preserving my sanity. Perhaps this review might spark some meaningful change.

Terrible service that wasted my precious time
Truly, this medical practice's reception team is absolutely dreadful. Their behavior is completely unprofessional and discourteous. I spent an exhausting three hours struggling to navigate the process of obtaining an urgent blood test for my child. In the end, I had to physically go to Whipps cross children's outpatient department just to understand their convoluted procedure.

Terrible medical care leaves patient feeling hopeless
Utterly appalling medical treatment. As a healthcare professional, one should demonstrate compassion and understanding. I've been battling seizures for four years, consistently reaching out to my doctors weekly for an appointment. The appointments they schedule are invariably months in advance, and when the time arrives, the doctor never follows through. I just concluded a conversation with a physician whose name starts with K, and upon expressing my desire for additional neurological assessments, she suggested referring me to mental health services, claiming no seizure records exist. (I was hospitalized for five weeks due to these episodes!) The doctor then had the audacity to ask me what I expected her to do! I'm completely stunned. I could potentially have undiagnosed epilepsy, and this incompetent doctor consistently displays rudeness. She should be immediately removed from her position.

Terrible healthcare experience with unprofessional doctors
Absolutely the worst general practitioner I've ever encountered. It's baffling how this medical practice continues to operate with such incompetence. There's zero coordination, zero follow-up, and zero patient care. I strongly advise against registering with them, and if you're currently a patient, seriously consider finding alternative healthcare. What's the purpose of a GP practice that consistently fails to provide appointments, even for patients with critical health needs?

Worst medical practice ever avoid at all costs
I wish I could award zero stars, but the rating system won't let me. Selecting this general practitioner is equivalent to having no healthcare provider at all: COMPLETELY WORTHLESS. The front desk staff are DISCOURTEOUS and UNPREPARED, responding to inquiries with eye-rolling contempt. A piece of advice: they should seriously consider finding alternative employment.

Terrible phone system ruins patient experience
The phone connection is absolutely abysmal - it drops every single call I attempt to make! It's mind-boggling how you practically need to dial a hundred times just to have a slim chance of reaching someone (and that's assuming you even connect at all). The sheer frustration of trying to schedule an appointment while constantly getting disconnected right when you're in the phone queue is beyond aggravating. This practice is completely unacceptable, and I strongly advise anyone to steer clear of them.
