Dr & Dentist recommendations


Recommended Posts

Hi all

Myself and my wife moved to East Dulwich in January and are only now geting round to registering with local practitioners in the area. We live at the top end of Lordship Lane, close to the library.

I'm looking for advice on the best NHS dentist and Doctor to register with.

Any pointers would be really appreciated.

thanks

Bryan

I think the Gardens Surgery must be the best of a bad bunch; they are never on time (the shortest time waiting was 10 minutes and the longest time I have been waiting was 45 mins). Dr Addo is very good, the others are questionable.


There is a dentist near the Gardens Surgery and they are on the NHS.

That practice has recently been sold off. It is now owned and run by different people.

Its Shane Curran's practice. Very good and a modern well equipped practice..

Avoid the Forest hill road surgery like the plague.

You never get to see the same doctor twice.

It seems to be staffed primarily by locums.

Quickest I've got an appointment is 3 days after the request.

Generally have to wait 30 mins in the surgery.

Doctors / nurses of inspire varying levels of confidence.

And, contrary to nhs guidelines they have an 0844 phone number (as if GP's don't get paid enough as it is)

I disagree with the comments about Forest Hill Road Group Practice. I've been with them for over 30 years and have always been really happy with the service I've received. Since being diagnosed with a very serious illness almost two years ago, the practice has been brilliant. I've always been seen the same day when I've needed it, and have only seen a locum once (who was just as excellent as the other doctors in the practice). I've always been able to see my preferred doctor if I book ahead for non urgent appointments. Without exception, all the staff have been kind, compassionate, and knowledgable. I've often had to sit for a while in the waiting room, but if this means that someone with more pressing needs than me is getting attention that they need, then I don't have a problem with that at all, and I certainly wouldn't be concerned by a 30 minute wait.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
