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.

  • 1 month later...

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.

    • Hey are these two keys with no keyring? I lost them a while back so not sure if they will be the same!
    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals.

    • People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to and them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
