Edit. Phone up on the day of your appointment to confirm it. Receptionists will book you in and when you turn up for your appointment you are not on the system. Once is a mistake but this has happened to me on 3 separate occasions!! My wife had an appointment to see a GP, it was confirmed via text but she was turned away. Even though she showed the text, they said it was for a phone appointment. I went back, they insisted there wasn't an appointment until I insisted they read the text again! On another occasion the nurse asked the receptionist to book me 4 appointments, it was never done. Incompetent

Amazing patient care; I highly recommend Stockwell Group Practice for any and all primary care needs. Nurse Vijay is the best nurse I've ever had, and I say this as someone who has been a patient in several different health services across two different countries on opposing sides of the planet. I've met a lot of nurses; Vijay is my top pick, worldwide. If I could rate ten stars, I would. However, Google only allows for a maximum of five stars, so that is the rating I have provided here.
Similarly, I have received top-notch care from not only Nurse Vijay, but Dr. McGuinness, Dr. Taheri, Dr. Rajani

The service I have received from the Stockwell group practice , over the years, has always been excellent. From speaking to the friendly staff at the reception who initially take your call to book your appointment or getting the doctor to call you back. And also when having appointments with the doctors, they always make you feel at ease, and explain everything, especially ii you have any concerns or health issues, and work out the best treatment plan for you , that may mean you being referred to other health departments if they dont have to facilities there. My experiences at this practice

Speechless - poor service today. Waited for almost an hour for a walk in flu jab, which took less than a minute, all because the doctor in charge was catching up in another colleagues room.
Receptionists were lovely and helpful in chasing up the doctor after waiting for over 30mins. I had only witnessed one doctor who was consistently seeing patients during my hour long wait. Just wanted to add I have been assisted by Dr May before who was wonderful. Its a shame not all doctors here provide the same service.

Every time I call this GP i seem to get different information. This time I called to get a repeat prescription which I have always done before but except this time the receptionist (who first of all seemed to be in a tunnel so i could hardly hear her) decided to tell me that apparently they haven't done repeat prescriptions over the phone in more than a year. Bear in mind I got my last one way less than a year ago so she was likely just being lazy and not wanting to assist! God forbid if I actually become severely sick and need their help!
