Can anyone help! I want to change my doctors, as the one I'm at present is too far. The best choices for me would be the one on Crystal Palace ROad or the one on Forest hill Road. I have a 4 month old baby so I'm particulary interested in what the health visitors are like but also the doctors. Has anyone had good or bad experiences with either of these? Thanks x

I am with the dulwich medical centre on crystal palace road. It used to be a good practice but it is now next to impossible to make an appointment. It's becoming a real problem. See the thread in the general section of the forum. Apart from that, The midwives are fab and I liked my health visitors on townley road very much.
I'm with Forest Hill Road and mostly happy. There are a few nice HVs although the baby clinic gets busy- arrive early! Most of the GPs I've seen have been helpful. It can take a while to get an appointment but I have always managed to either see or speak to a GP on the same day when one of my children has been ill.
Also with DMC, Crystal Palace Rd and always managed to get an appointment for my daughter on the same day if I called that morning. Obviously, if it wasn't urgent then the wait was longer but that's reasonable. I think they prioritise babies/children esp in the context of fever, rashes etc. I can't comment about the wait for appt for adults, as have no personal experience. Also, The Lanes Midwifery Team are affiliated to the DMC but they have a long waiting list so being registered with the DMC doesn't guarantee a place on their books.
I don't have children but I recently changed to The Gardens Surgery and its been really great so far-no problem getting appointments. The reception staff are very friendly and helpful. They also run a seperate baby clinic (not for ill children, I think its more for vaccinations etc) which might be good for you?

The Gardens surgery is brilliant. Have had two children and been under their care for both. A great baby clinic, Penny, the lady who runs that is fantastic!


The catchment for the Gardens is VERY strict (which is probably why they have less problems with appointments etc, I think they keep their patient list more manageable) so you will need to call them, tell them the road you live in and they will let you know if you're in their area.


Good luck!

    • Greenby are back n my good books again! I raised a ticket yesterday and carried on trying various things myself to solve the issue. What solved the issue was me dragging an email from my trash into the folders that were not displaying any messages. As soon as I did that, all messages reappeared. I followed up on my ticket by advising Support of this and got this enthusiastic response:-   That's brilliant news - great problem-solving! It sounds like you encountered a webmail display glitch where the folder indexes weren't refreshing properly. By dragging an email into each folder, you essentially forced the webmail to re-index and refresh those folders, which brought all your emails back into view. This is quite a clever workaround, and I'm glad you persevered to find it! The good news is that your emails were always there safely stored on the server - they just weren't displaying correctly in the webmail interface. If you experience this again in the future, you now know the trick. Alternatively, sometimes simply logging out of webmail completely and logging back in can also refresh the folder listings. Is there anything else I can help you with today?  I still rate them 10/10 as they are quick to respond to tickets and are good at explaining things such as above.  
    • Hello,  I wanted to get my little one a new scooter, she doesn't scoot a lot but is confident on her 3 wheel. Any recommendations, please? I see lots about the micro scooter. I'm still deciding if she needs a 2 or 3 wheel.  Thanks 😊  Cam
    • Mine still seem well populated. I assume the display filter is still acting as you'd expect with the other folders.  I trust and hope it'll be a recoverable glitch, even if they did manage to delete or mislay the online copies.     I had prepared a para. beginning "That's essentially reassuring, Vladii.  Thanks." before managing to somehow remove the rest of it irrecoverably from the EDF message edit pane. Back on the Greenby side, I've narrowed down my own problem.  Most of my email posts are 'From:' my own domain but posted via the PN relay.   Maybe a couple of years ago an alarming failure of these to reach gmail addreses, without any non-delivery message, emerged.  It seemed to be due to the absence of an SPF entry on its DNS record.  Once that had been added all was ok again.   The SPF entry is still there, but the symptoms have reapppeared.  I've narrowed it down to email From that domain posted via both Greenby and Plusnet webmail.  The same messages sent from the same domain via a mail client, via SMTP to the PN relay, seem all to get through ok. So does one sent by webmail using my official PN mailbox domain [me]@[myPNUsername].plus.com. I submitted a carefully written problem-ticket request last night, and find it got an immediate very detailed response from their bot, saying "Thank you for the detailed explanation - this is really helpful information...This is an interesting deliverability issue..."  It then went on to enumerate and explain several possible factors which could have been involved, and asked me to submit a fresh ticket with details of a missing email's sender, time, and intended recipient, so that they could check their logs and diagnose further.   I was actually impressed, for the first time, by the response's quality.  I guess bots must benefit from high quality input from users. 😉
