The Brockley Road surgery was merged with this practice to provide a "better service"
You have more chance of winning the lottery than getting through to the reception by phone if you call less than one millisecond after 8am. If you succeed in getting through then you'll be at the mercy of a phone consultation (this is anything from 15 to 45 minutes after the time they tell you) and then if you need to see a doctor you're more likely to win the Euromillions than get a face to face appointment. If you're really ill then you'll be direct to go and sit in a hot and unventilated room in Lewisham

I actually thought other surgeries were bad but this is by all means the worst!
Firstly the appointments they say appointments from 8 to 6:30 yet when u call they state you must call within first hour they are open(8-9am). How contradictory is that??Then when you call the line is always engaged one day week before I contacted the surgery (57 times) on the 21.10.21 before I got through only to be told no appointments but emergencies and what qualification does the receptionist have to determine that! By the time u finish with the receptionist it's now only my physical but mental health is also

Impossible to book online, impossible to book on the phone, impossible to book in person. EDIT BELOW
I have edited this as I was able to contact the Centre via their website's comment section. The quote below may be useful to all seeking an appointment online. You have to be pretty quick off the mark to book your appointment online at either 8 am or 6.30 pm, they all go quickly. If, like me, you want to book a meeting with a female doctor, phone (at a quiet time) in to find out which day their appointments are scheduled. See quote below from the response from the Centre:

Absolute rubbish. I would give it zero stars if I could. If you phone for an appointment they tell you to book online. Appointments released daily at 8:30 and 18:30 they say. If you go online there are no appointments available any time ever. I've been trying to get a fairly simple condition treated for 6 months now. Had to make an official complaint to get a 3 minute telephone appointment, followed by a 6 week wait for a blood test I didn't need, a swab that turned up negative but hey! We prescribe you some meds for something we now know you haven't got but which we can't be bothered to investigate
