I can't recommend the Forest Hill Road Group Practice highly enough. Dr McColl is particularly wonderful, but all the doctors there are excellent. I've been with the practice for about 35 years, and have never had any complaints, but since I had a serious illness last year, the treatment I've had from everyone there has been absolutely amazing.
I had a series of very bad experiences with doctors at the FHR Practice, in addition to very rude reception staff. Drs at FRH gave me wrong and incomplete medical advice. One doctor there failed to send me for very simple blood tests which would have aided the early diagnosis of a rare blood disorder. Another doctor wrongly told me that there are no safe drugs approved for the treament of PND in breastfeeding mothers. And instead of offering to refer me to a lactation consultant for breastfeeding issues, the HV wanted me to see a nutritionist. Not only was I appalled that the referral was incorrect, I was hugely dismayed that the HV did not even know the different between a nutritionist and a dietition! (A dietition is licensed; anyone can call him/herself a nutritionist.) I ended up having to pay to see private specialists. Shortly thereafter I moved house to SE4 and needless to say I registered with a new surgery.

DMC on Chadwick Road in Peckham may be a bit far, but they have four permanent female GPs who are all lovely. Dr Chung and Dr Henderson particularly.


I've never been kept waiting long for appts, good same day appointments and will try their best to squeeze your kids in if there's a need.

At dmc on crystal palace road dr satya prabhakaran is the best gp i have ever had. A nightmare to get hold of as she is so popular but so worth it. She is superb and so lovely! At the same pratice dr alison davidson and dr alison davidson is also great as well as dr thomson. All female

Does anyone know of any local practices that have an asthma clinic? NHS website said the Gardens do but i think i'm only just out of there boundary :( plus it says nothing on their website about an asthma clinic.


I had really good support at my old surgery as they had a specialist asthma nurse/clinic so could do with this again at a new practice - especially with winter coming!

ooh thank you, but i'm not in their catchment either- should have said i'm up Bellenden Rd, but the part that's just out of The Garden's reach :(

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Scorer at FHC, She has been my GP for 20 years and is knowledgeable, sympathetic and understanding. She only works part time, so you have to make an appointment in advance - but if it is a non-urgent issue, very much worth it. I have nothing but praise for FHC who have never let me or my family down.
The LL surgery is AWFUL!!! The Dulwich medical centre on Crystal Palace rd has several female GPS and is very pleasant to visit. I had lovely young, sensible and sympathetic doctor there once, unfort i cant remember her name - she was Indian and very pretty, if that helps!!

Haha! this is soooo true!


Can't say I recommend the Gardens much. They're ok but there's no stand out doctor and sometimes they say odd/(not meaning to be) unsympathetic things.

I am another big fan of Dr Scorer. She talks to me as an intelligent adult and has always made me feel empowered in my treatment. She is also great on women's health issues in particular.


I used to see Dr Ackland when she was at Melbourne Grove. Brilliant GP who got me through a very difficult patch of mental health.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
