Review titled Thanks Doctor
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Very long term patient - Posted on 14 June 2024
We've been at this surgery for decades. They don't need me to tell them the place doesn't look great, in fact little changed since we joined in 1980. But brickwork doesn't diagnose things, clinicians do. Just had an excellent session with the senior doctor at the practice, reviewing my various conditions and medication. Used to do this annually before Covid, this is the first time since. There was no specific problem, I just wanted him to look at where I was, my latest blood tests, my medication. He went through everything in great detail, was very reassuring, changed some medication and, for me, benchmarked a day on which I could say, at that point, everything was as much as it should be for someone in their 8th decade. Of course GP's are run off their feet and often don't have time for this sort of thing, but it is very valuable -- much better nudging people towards remaining well, rather than repairing them when they aren't. Thanks for an excellent consultation

Review titled Brilliant Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Susan - Posted on 20 May 2024
I have been registered at this practice for approximately thirty-five years and have always received excellent medical care. I phoned for an emergency appointment last week and was offered an "in person" appointment, within a few hours of my call. The doctor was absolutely brilliant and he swiftly dealt with my concern, giving me a full explanation of my condition and totally included me in my treatment plan. The surgery continues to go from strength to strength, with exceedingly knowledgeable, highly skilled, dedicated and caring doctors, a fantastic, very personable and approachable Practice Manager, who has implemented some well thought out and positive improvements at the surgery and an amazingly good support team. The Practice at 188 is brilliant !

by A grateful patient - Posted on 19 June 2024
Very distressed by appointment confusion from the Royal Free Hospital, the surgery intervened promptly and resolved the problem for me. From the receptionist who listened so patiently to my dilemma to the Practice Manager who was instrumental in sorting the problem, I have nothing but praise and gratitude.

Review titled Excellent Medical Attention
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 May 2024
I had an excellent phone consultation with a very knowledgable and thorough doctor, within an hour of initially contacting the surgery, as I was very ill. The doctor’s diagnosis and treatment were totally accurate. The whole process was seamless and I was invited to have a follow up consultation the following week, which reassured me that I was on the road to recovery. It was a very good experience.

Review titled Outstanding GP
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Peter Suchet - Posted on 24 April 2024
Excellent care and advice from one of the Practice GPs over the last couple of weeks (I'm prohibited from mentioning a doctor's name on here, but you know who you are..!) , delivered with real patient empathy not to mention efficiency. Even called me at home to update me on the progress of something we discussed. What a pleasure to be able to post a positive GP review..!

Review titled Brilliant GP
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Meir Bahr - Posted on 17 March 2024
I have been with this practice since 1998. Mainly I see the same GP for years, but my limited experience with the other doctors is excellent as well. My GP is absolutely brilliant. Firstly, he always listens to you very carefully. Then he asks for your opinion, regarding your problem. After examining you, he will tell you his professional opinion. He does it always very clearly (in plain English but still in a very professional manner). He is always friendly and shows respect to you. He is very patient with you, and answers all your questions. After every meeting with him, I leave the clinic feeling happy, that I have “received value for my money”. My GP never prescribe medicine when he thinks are unnecessary, or sent to do tests when he thinks it is unnecessary. And you always get full explanations for everything. He shows vast knowledge in medicine. From my past experience he was never wrong regarding my issues. In my last appointment with him (03/2024), he spent much more time with me than the formal time allocated to the appointment. In a way it was my fault as well because I came with a small list of issues. But during the whole appointment I was not given the impression that I am taking to much of his time. He should be benchmark to many GP’s. I should as well praise the reception team. Whenever I deal with them, they always try to help you and solve your problem in a professional manner.

Review titled Excellent telephone support
Rated 3 stars out of 5

I was chasing a repeat prescription, which seemed to have gone astray between the pharmacy and the Practice. Ryan answered my call without any wait and very patiently took me through the NHS App and how to order my repeat prescriptions directly on the App. This means the request goes straight to the Doctor for authorising and then to the pharmacy. This was a most helpful bit of timesaving advice. Thank you Ryan.
