Need new GP - Forest Hill Rd getting worse

Please address your complaints to the Practice manager; all GP practices are under a great deal of pressure thanks mainly to gov. policy concerning the NHS.

They are also a teaching practice and doctors also follow their specialisms at clinics etc.

I'm a patient of 25 yrs standing.and have been pretty satisfied.

Thanks for the information about a change back to a standard charge phone line. I am a patient at this practice and although I rarely use the doctors I am satisfied and did not change doctors when I moved and other practices would be more convenient. Their use of a premium rate phone number was my only gripe.
I am always surprised when I read that people can't get appointments at Forest Hill Road Group Practice. I've been registered there for around 35 years, and have still never found a problem in getting an appointment. The GP I prefer to see only works part time, and I have to book two or three weeks ahead to see her, which I think is perfectly acceptable. If I need to see a doctor urgently, and explain the reason why, I always get a same day appointment. I've always found that the reception staff go out of their way to be helpful. In 35 years, I've never had to hold on the phone for 15-20 minutes - I think the maximum wait I've ever had is 5 minutes, and that is very rare. I can't comment on the issue of only getting appointments between 9.30-4.30 - if I'm unwell enough to need to see a doctor, then I am happy to take any time that I'm offered.

    • 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.
