Incredible medical care that exceeded all expectations
What an incredible upgrade - I've been dealing with this medical practice for over two decades and previously had less-than-stellar interactions. The recent changes have been absolutely remarkable. Perfect score for their patient care, quick communication, compassionate approach, and streamlined service 🥳

Compassionate care from a wonderful medical team
I find this medical center to be truly exceptional. Dr Hameed demonstrates remarkable compassion and attentiveness, consistently going above and beyond to address my health concerns. The front desk staff are equally delightful and welcoming.

Average!
Terrible customer service from unhelpful receptionists
The front desk staff demonstrated an appalling lack of professionalism. I informed them that a family member was advised by medical personnel to undergo blood work within a 72-hour window. The receptionist, Jai Halai, contradicted this by claiming the appointment was scheduled for a week later. Subsequently, the doctors contacted me three days afterward, asserting that the blood tests were requested for a week out, despite my original urgent timeline. The entire situation was completely absurd and frustrating.

Compassionate care for our wonderful local community
A truly wonderful neighborhood medical practice that genuinely prioritizes patient care. They go above and beyond to be available through multiple communication channels - whether you prefer face-to-face consultations, telephone conversations, or online interactions. Heartfelt appreciation to the entire staff for their commitment and compassion. We feel incredibly fortunate to have such an outstanding healthcare team serving our community.

Worst healthcare experience ever avoid at all costs
Not even worthy of a single star rating. My experience with this medical practice has been utterly terrible, with staff consistently demonstrating a complete lack of support. Take my strong recommendation and steer clear of this place. UPDATE: I've now registered with a new GP practice that is truly exceptional, which has further highlighted how the numerous problems at Woodlands were primarily due to the staff's incompetence rather than systemic healthcare funding issues.

Compassionate doctor who truly listens and helps
Dr. Hameed is an exceptional physician. He provided incredibly clear explanations about things I previously didn't comprehend and helped me feel completely comfortable. The Online Triage system is also fantastic, allowing me to skip the typical phone waiting lines. Continue your excellent work, team!

Caring staff make every visit worthwhile
Every visit here is consistently excellent. For those with a reasonable amount of understanding and who recognize the high workload of the NHS, you won't find a superior service anywhere else.

Exceptional care from dr hameed saves the day
I was initially skeptical about this medical practice due to its past negative reputation, which I had previously shared. However, they have genuinely transformed their approach. The quality of patient care has significantly improved, and the physicians are now much more approachable and communicative. My experience with Dr. Hameed was particularly exceptional. She comprehensively addressed every inquiry I had, providing in-depth explanations and even directed me to additional materials that helped me gain a deeper understanding of my medical situation.

Frustrating waste of time at finchley memorial hospital
I was left in the dark about the requirement for a fasting blood test, and after enduring a frustrating hour-long wait at Finchley memorial hospital due to the receptionist's oversight in not registering me, I ultimately couldn't proceed with the blood test because I hadn't fasted beforehand.

Terrible medical practice with unhelpful rude receptionists
This is an absolutely terrible healthcare facility. My son has been unwell for three weeks, and their online support requires at least an hour of waiting. The receptionists, Sharon and Jay Halai, are incredibly frustrating. My son is sick and has missed four days of school, and this practice is doing nothing to help. This woodland medical practice desperately needs improvement, particularly with their reception staff. They are extremely discourteous and completely unhelpful. When you call at 7:59, the surgery is closed, but the moment it's 8:00, you're caller number 18 or 20, and by the time your turn comes, they claim all appointments are gone. If you explain that you called precisely at 8:00, they simply respond that it's not their problem. When requesting a next-day appointment, they instruct you to call first thing in the morning, and for future appointments, they state the slots aren't open yet. I cannot comprehend how one is supposed to secure an appointment. Consider how these receptionists, Sharon and Jay, might treat elderly patients. The medical department urgently needs to investigate this surgery's operations.

Exceptional care and support from woodlands practice team
I've been a loyal patient at Woodlands Practice since 2009, and they have consistently provided exceptional care. When I recently required urgent medical assistance, the surgery went above and beyond to help me promptly. I was genuinely impressed by their swift response and the incredible level of attention I received from the doctor. The medical team's supportive approach and dedication to addressing my health concerns were truly remarkable. The doctor personally called me twice - first for an in-depth discussion about my condition, and then again to follow up and provide detailed guidance on managing my problem effectively. I am deeply appreciative of their comprehensive and compassionate approach to my healthcare needs. Thank you.
