Patient Experience Summary

Medical professionals at the practice are widely recognised as competent and skilled, with several patients praising their clinical expertise and compassionate approach to care. However, significant challenges persist across reception experience, appointment access, and communication. The reception experience is notably inconsistent, with some patients reporting helpful and welcoming staff whilst others describe unhelpful, dismissive, or discourteous interactions. Appointment availability remains a major concern, with patients struggling to secure in-person consultations, facing lengthy waiting lists, and encountering inflexible booking systems that rely heavily on telephone triage. Many patients report frustration with the practice's administrative processes, including poor communication about test results, delayed follow-ups, and inconsistent information about operating hours and scheduling policies.

The shift to telephone-based consultations has created particular difficulties for patients with work commitments or those requiring physical examinations. Waiting times for test results and specialist referrals are frequently cited as problematic, with patients reporting they must initiate contact rather than receiving proactive outreach from the practice. Whilst some patients have experienced responsive and efficient service, particularly from specific staff members, the overall pattern suggests organisational challenges in managing patient access and communication. Several patients have transferred to alternative practices due to these service issues, though others express appreciation for the medical care received once access is achieved.

Amazing healthcare with exceptional staff and service

I've never encountered a medical practice that compares to this one. The entire team, from physicians to support staff, radiates warmth and genuine care, always going above and beyond expectations. In fact, I was so impressed that relocating to Wimbledon just to receive treatment here seemed completely justified!

Unhelpful gp practice with frustrating reception staff

My family recently registered with this GP, and their approach seems disorganized and inflexible. I was given a specific date for my baby's 8-week vaccinations, but on the day, I was informed it was an error and we could only be seen the following week because the baby was slightly under 8 weeks old. When we arrived the next week 15 minutes late, we were told the nurse would not see us and we'd need to reschedule for another week later. I requested to wait in case an appointment slot became available, but the receptionist curtly repeated that we would not be seen due to our lateness. I inquired about any available appointments before the next week and was firmly told no, with a warning that we must be punctual for future appointments or risk being turned away. There was no attempt to be accommodating or show understanding of the challenges of being precisely on time with a newborn. Another review similarly noted the receptionists' abruptness, which matched my own experience. While I acknowledge the NHS faces significant pressures, our previous GP in another London borough always prioritized children's medical appointments. Update: After emailing a complaint, the practice manager contacted me the next day. She explained their 10-minute appointment grace period policy, apologized for the negative interaction, detailed their staff training initiatives to minimize errors, and offered an earlier vaccination slot the next day. I'm genuinely impressed by their swift and sincere response to my concerns. It's clear this practice takes feedback seriously and is committed to continuous improvement.

Terrible service wasting patients time and energy

Completely worthless service. I called yesterday seeking an appointment for my child. They instructed me to expect a callback tomorrow at 8:30am. A callback... via telephone consultation!! Are you serious? For a medical issue requiring physical examination?! Why won't they conduct in-person appointments... Their response: "We don't." They claim they can schedule a face-to-face next week, but first you must endure a phone consultation where the doctor decides if you're worthy of an actual appointment. Meanwhile, I'm expected to manage work and my son his school schedule?! Who exactly benefits from this ridiculous system? Certainly not the patient!! The service is absolutely disgraceful. Management needs to address these fundamental problems immediately. I'm definitively transferring my son's medical care to another practice.

Longtime patient shares honest medical practice insights

I've been a patient at this medical practice since 1984, witnessing numerous transformations over the decades. Like everyone else, Covid introduced substantial shifts in healthcare delivery. The telephone triage approach initially challenged me, particularly given my discomfort with phone interactions, but I've come to appreciate its effectiveness. Waiting for return calls can be frustrating, and I recognize this system seems more convenient for retired individuals compared to those with active work schedules. When in-person consultations are necessary, they're always arranged promptly. The medical staff appear consistently professional and skilled, based on my layperson's perspective. While some receptionists occasionally come across as brusque, I've found they respond more positively when I communicate my needs clearly and calmly (understanding that raised voices rarely improve any interaction). I'm pleased to endorse this practice. Given the immense strain currently facing the NHS, which we're all aware of, a bit of mutual understanding could significantly improve everyone's healthcare experience.

Compassionate doctor who truly listens and helps

Dr Mona Kabir is exceptional. Following my cesarean section, I sensed something wasn't right. I struggled to feel acknowledged by the medical staff at the clinic, but Dr Kabir stood out as the sole physician who genuinely listened and identified my infection. I'm deeply appreciative of her compassionate approach in bringing me in and treating my concerns with the seriousness they deserved.

Exceptional care for my family at this surgery

The staff at the reception and the medical professionals demonstrated exceptional competence and attentiveness. This assessment stems from my personal interactions and those involving my five-year-old child. We experienced minimal waiting time, were promptly directed for necessary examinations, and received timely, suitable medical care. I strongly endorse this medical facility. While the 8:30 appointment slot remains important, maintaining a patient approach ensures you'll receive the required medical attention.

Compassionate care and tech make this practice shine

The staff at Wimbledon Medical Practice provide top-notch service, and I'm truly impressed by their seamless technological approach to scheduling appointments. Whenever urgent medical attention is required, I've consistently managed to secure same-day consultations. Moreover, their understanding approach was particularly evident when my son accidentally missed a scheduled callback, showing remarkable flexibility. Throughout my long-standing relationship with this practice, I've always felt genuinely listened to and personally cared for by the medical team. Dr. Sharifi stands out exceptionally - her unique combination of professional humor, compassionate understanding, practical problem-solving skills, and unwavering honesty, coupled with outstanding medical expertise, has made her an extraordinary physician who has supported my entire family's healthcare journey over two decades.
