Dulwich Medical Centre on Crystal Palace Road gets an endorsement from me, was apprehensive about changing GP when I moved to ED last year. Happy to say I'm very impressed with the equally good GP and service here.


Have never had any trouble in making appointments and the centre staff have been helpful and efficient in my experience. Good luck.

And if you get past them, the doctors (with one very notable exception) are completely disinterested.

Personally I find impartiality a sterling quality in a medic.

If you can ever get an appointment with him... In all my years that I was a patient I never met my doctor (Dr Johnson).

Not a practitse I'd recommend, but this discussion has come up time and time again so I wont bother to continue.

I'm quite happy at the Suregery in Dulwich Hospital :)

He was working there last year certainly. He had quite a lot of time off earlier this year though. He is on leave now until mid November from Melbourne Grove. Why don't you just ask the surgery at Dulwich Hospital. Melbourne Grove now has 3 other doctors, two men and 1 woman.

A GP recommendation in ED is meaningless if you have no experience of another!


It would be helpful to the OP and others if this could be stated in in your post.


I use crystal palace. They're ok. I have never had an appointment on time. They do seem

helpful though but the GPs seem to vary (for me) a lot and the advice given by some GP's to be questionable.

(occasionally)


I have no other experience of any other local GP

DMC, Crystal Palace Road / Chadwick Road: A corporation with GPs on hire; the owners of the corporation, in my opinion (that of a hospital-based physician as well as of a care-seeker), are out to squeeze the penny till the Queen screams. The care provided may be unexceptionable. The approach to provision of care... well, "odious" may be a bit over-the-top, but not by much.


Forum members interested in directing their custom, their purchases of goods and services, to providers who are small, locally based, and personal might want to consider looking into caregivers other than DMC.

      Chern Thai Restaurant Reopened On Grove Vale

      By Zak · Posted

      They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.

      I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills.

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Soylent Green · Posted

      GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).

      How can one have the confidence that it is not the barista cutting your hair and the barber making your coffee?
