I have been registered with this surgery for around six years and have never had a bad experience. The staff are knowledgeable and compassionate. Things don't feel rushed. I found that particularly during the lockdown their service was outstanding. I can't imagine a better experience with a GP.

This review applies to the reception service and not to any of the doctors or nurses. The reception is unhelpful and rude. The doctors and nurses could be great for all I know, but you could die before getting to them through the reception staff.

3 staff members at Clerkenwell Medical Practice (1 in particular, Sarah Cosgrave) have been incredibly kind, helpful, supportive & efficient during a recent, difficult experience involving COVID-19. I'm very grateful for the compassion offered by that 1 special staff member in particular - it made the world of difference on some very dark days. I also appreciate how busy ALL the staff are currently given the booster shot programme - so thank you.

Im so glad to have left this practice. The rude receptionist always seemed like phoning her was a inconvenience in her busy day. The doctors are OK at run of the mill medical issues but DO NOT expect any mental health support. They are quite incapable of helping. Dr Desouza was very arrogant and insulting to me, I was devastated to be treated so poorly when in need of support. They made me feel worse not better. They generally dont listen to what you are saying on the phone and talk over you to get to the next person. I appreciate they are very busy but by not listening issues are not solved
