Patient Experience Summary

Medical professionals at this practice consistently receive praise for compassionate, attentive care, with doctors and nursing staff demonstrating genuine commitment to patient wellbeing. However, reception experience presents a significant and recurring concern, with multiple patients reporting discourteous, dismissive, and unprofessional interactions at the front desk.

Appointment access and booking remain problematic areas, with patients describing difficulties securing timely consultations, confusing booking procedures, and long waiting times, though some report improved efficiency through online systems and callback options. The practice environment itself is well-maintained and clean, and several patients highlight positive continuity of care with their preferred doctors. While the quality of clinical care appears strong, the inconsistency in reception courtesy and ongoing challenges with appointment availability create a mixed patient experience that significantly impacts overall satisfaction with the service.

Bad!

Terrible customer service ruins medical experience

Absolutely terrible front desk staff with zero empathy who completely ruin the entire medical experience. Their unprofessional attitude makes visiting this clinic unbearable. The receptionist's conduct is so disrespectful and dismissive that it transforms a simple doctor's appointment into an utterly miserable ordeal.

Exceptional pharmacist shines with compassion and care

I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for Shanti, who works in the pharmacy at Cedar Practice. Her exceptional professionalism and compassionate demeanor have been remarkable, particularly in her interactions with my mother. She consistently demonstrates remarkable patience and treats my mum with the utmost dignity and respect. It's uncommon to encounter a healthcare professional who balances such remarkable competence with such genuine warmth and empathy. Shanti has significantly enhanced our overall experience at the practice, and we are deeply thankful for her outstanding level of care. She is truly an exemplary member of the team and represents the very best of customer service!

Exceptional care from a truly compassionate doctor

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Kulmar for his exceptional support in developing my treatment strategy. His method was comprehensive and empathetic, and I deeply value the dedication and personalized care he demonstrated. It would be wonderful if more healthcare professionals within the NHS could match this level of service. My sincere thanks again, Dr. Kulmar – I am eagerly anticipating our next consultation.

Compassionate care at cedar practice worth praising

I've been receiving medical care at the Cedar Practice for an extended period. The physicians are meticulous and genuinely invest effort in comprehending patients' concerns. I deeply appreciate the treatment I've experienced and find myself puzzled by some of the critical online comments. Like many urban medical centers, this practice operates under significant strain, largely due to the growing elderly population with complex health conditions. Despite these challenges, I typically secure an appointment within a short timeframe, and when an urgent matter arises, I can request a doctor's callback, which has always been promptly fulfilled. It would be unfortunate to overlook the numerous positive attributes of this medical practice.

Rude receptionist ruins patient's medical experience

I arrived at Cedar Practice's back entrance to drop off a urine sample as my physician, Hesha da Silva (who is quite caring), had requested. Given that blood samples are typically collected in this area, I thought my approach made sense. However, the receptionist's response was shockingly unprofessional. Rather than politely guiding me to the correct location, she became hostile. She appeared unable to comprehend my request and loudly proclaimed, within earshot of another patient attempting to assist me, 'We aren't a hospital, and we don't accept urine samples here. Find another place.' The encounter was mortifyingly humiliating, and her abrasive demeanor has completely discouraged me from seeking any future medical assistance from this practice. Additionally, the telephone staff's attitude is equally poor - I'm tempted to submit my resume to demonstrate proper patient communication techniques. It's clear the front desk staff desperately need comprehensive communication training.

Friendly service and great health check experience

My inaugural visit to The Cedar Practice was absolutely delightful. I underwent a comprehensive health screening conducted by an exceptionally warm and welcoming healthcare professional named Nana Peach. Her approach instantly put me at ease, and she was meticulous in her examination. As a charming parting note, she shared an interesting cultural perspective about life starting at 42 in her home country, encouraging me to embrace the moment! :)

Lifesaving care when i needed it most

Superb, perceptive, compassionate care. I arrived with a rather ambiguous discomfort, and the physician astutely recommended an urgent referral to the Homerton, where the specialist accurately diagnosed the issue and offered a prompt remedy. Without the Cedar Practice's immediate attention, their exceptional medical professionals, and their excellent connections at the Homerton, my outcome could have been very different. My deepest gratitude! Their appointment scheduling is particularly impressive: call in the morning; receive a callback instead of being stuck on hold; get a direct consultation with the doctor; and secure a same-day appointment if they determine an in-person examination is necessary. Swift, streamlined, and eliminating unnecessary waiting time on the phone.
