Patient feedback reflects a predominantly positive experience with the practice, particularly regarding clinical care and professional expertise. Many patients report satisfaction with appointment scheduling, welcoming reception experiences, and responsive service. Communication and compassionate care are frequently highlighted as strengths, with patients noting prompt responses to health concerns and supportive interactions during visits.
However, some negative experiences emerge around specific service areas. Reception courtesy has been questioned in isolated instances, and appointment access difficulties are noted by certain patients, including concerns about booking availability and service area restrictions affecting registration. One patient reported frustration with telephone booking procedures and high call volumes. Communication issues appear in a small number of reviews, with concerns raised about the appropriateness of clinical guidance provided by reception staff rather than medical professionals.
Overall, the practice demonstrates strong clinical performance and continuity of care for established patients, though appointment access and reception consistency present areas where patient experience varies.

Long Wait Ruined My Medical Appointment
Today I phoned my GP at 8am and found 30 people ahead of me, which seemed unbelievable. I have current medical concerns and urgently needed a doctor to provide a cancellation certificate for my holiday packages to get my money back, as I must remain in the UK for my treatment. I'm extremely frustrated and stressed, which I'm advised to avoid. This GP practice is the worst I've ever encountered, with perpetually overbooked appointments that are completely unacceptable.

A Dedicated Doctor Who Goes Above and Beyond
Dr Patel has been our family physician for two decades. He stands out as the most compassionate and dedicated medical professional I've ever encountered. When a patient's medical situation is critical, he goes above and beyond to provide care, whether through an in-clinic consultation or a home visit. Even during the pandemic, he remained committed to serving our community without hesitation. A genuinely exceptional healthcare provider. My heartfelt gratitude to him!

Ashraf Zaman's Rude and Dismissive Approach
My encounter with this medical practice was utterly disheartening, primarily because of Ashraf Zaman. During our morning phone conversation, he repeatedly interrupted me, displaying extreme impatience and discourtesy, which was particularly inappropriate given the sensitive nature of a mental health discussion. It was evident that he lacks basic empathy and demonstrates minimal concern for his patients. He consistently scheduled appointments only to inform me that the medication was unlicensed, effectively wasting both our time. When I raised this issue, he dismissively stated this was his approach, exhibiting complete indifference and an obstinate attitude toward patient care. Moreover, I had been enduring a condition for nearly a year. His response was a callous "it is what it is," suggesting no further options existed, leaving me in significant distress. In contrast, my partner consulted their GP and quickly received compassionate, effective treatment. Additionally, a young female staff member gave me a judgmental look when I requested an x-ray for a prolonged, painful cough to rule out serious complications, which further highlighted the clinic's toxic environment and pervasive attitude of condemnation. The previous reviews of this GP practice bear no resemblance to my experience, potentially indicating recent staff changes. I cannot emphasize enough how strongly I advise against seeking treatment here.

ExcellentOutstanding GP and MDT
I have complex needs and have gone through very tough times recently. Dr Patel and his team are impeccable. Navigating the failing Tower Hamlets mental health services, ensuring I got the support I needed. Responsive, diligent, a true multi disciplinary team. Faultless, with all the bad press about GPs Dr Patel and his team are bucking the trend. His framework albeit not perfect because of forces put of his control is worthwhile government and central NHS looking to as best in class.

Professional nurse helped me prep for Africa
I consulted with Ionna at my local doctor's office near St Katherine Docks for pre-travel immunizations. Her professionalism and expertise were truly exceptional, providing me with comprehensive guidance for my upcoming African journey. While I'm not typically inclined to write reviews, her remarkable level of care and medical knowledge compelled me to share my experience.

Psoriasis Treatment That Changed My Life
I've battled intense psoriasis, and the medical team at this clinic have ultimately brought an end to my prolonged struggle. I cannot adequately express my appreciation. Living with psoriasis is incredibly emotionally draining, but since Dr. Patel recommended the treatment, I'm now able to confidently wear short sleeves and feel liberated as my skin gradually recovers. I'm truly at a loss for words to convey my deep gratitude. Thank you...xxx

Unhelpful Advice About My Covid Booster
I received a notification prompting me to schedule my covid booster shot. When I phoned to inquire about the recommended interval between a positive test and vaccination, I was merely directed by a front desk staff member. Without seeking any details about my specific circumstances, they casually claimed there should be no problem, which seemed inappropriate (shouldn't a medical professional be making such an assessment?). They ultimately suggested I contact 119 for further guidance.

Dr Patel's Team Saved Me Money and Stress
After being a patient here for over seven years, I can confidently say that Dr. Patel and his staff are truly exceptional. The level of care I've received at this compact clinic has consistently surpassed my expectations, especially when compared to the medical services provided by my previous workplace-sponsored health insurance. Their commitment to patient well-being is remarkable, and I've always felt thoroughly supported during my visits.
