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.

Abby

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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
