GP Recommendation??


Abby&Bri

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I have recently moved to ED and loving it! I really need to register with a doctor asap. I have read various reviews but some aren't that recent. Can anyone recommend a practice within a 10 min walk of the heart of ED where you can get a same day appointment without too much drama and there's continuity with the doctors? In my last GP surgery i never saw the same doctor twice, it was a constant stream of locums who really didnt seem to care too much!

Any help much appreciated.

I'm also fairly new to the area and have been happy with 306 Medical Centre on Lordship Lane. It's not that easy to get an appointment quickly but they will do emergency ones depending on the problem (I've had to frequent the surgery all too often in the last 6 months because of my toddler). I also once got a call from the doctor before 9am, having called up at 8 and explained the problem to the manager who answered the phone. There are only two doctors, so you will get the continuity you want, and the receptionist is refreshingly considerate and helpful!

Ive actually had excellent service at Dulwich Medical Centre on Crystal Palace Road. I'm aware that there appeara to be a lot of issues surrounding the practice and I admit that booking an intial appointment to be seen can be an issue but once I was seen, I have seen the same doc everytime, who has been excellent and I have been able to utilise the in house pharmacist and telephone apointments. I even received a call when my repeat prescription was being filled to see if i needed the other medication I had forgotten about - which was unexpected but I thought showed a nice attention to detail and patient care.


They have a psychiatric nurse who runs evening clinics too and they seem to have an excellent relationship with the Lloyds Pharmacy on North Cross Road who are open 7 days a week and evenings. My prescriptions now get sent to the pharmacy and seem to be filled ready for collection almost immediatly.

I have been registered with the Gardens Surgery just off Peckham Rye Park for years. Jane Cliffe is the senior doctor there and literally saved my son's life when he was 8 by correctly diagnosing appendicitis that had untypical symptoms that another doctor might well have discounted. all the doctors there seem ok and the receptionists are lovely.

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
