Undiscovered Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hi I'm currently with DMC CP but am considering changing to The Gardens as have heard good things about it. Any thoughts would be appreciated. We have a 2 year old and a 4 month old, and both husband and I work, if that impacts anyone's thoughts! Cheers!

monniemae Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I found them very good for most of the time I was registered with them apart from one insensitive GP phone call regarding test results (nurse was lovely). Apart from that though I honestly couldn't fault them - was able to get appointments, they referred me for reassurance investigations when a close relative was extremely ill, nurses were great etc. A friend had great support including on-site counselling for short term mental health issues. They degistered with me without warning when I *temporarily* moved a very short distance out of catchment so I'm still smarting about that! I subsequently registered with Nunhead Grove Surgery who I was delighted to find were even lovelier.

tomo Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm with the gardens surgery and have had on the whole, a very good experience there. I find it easy to get an appointment when I need one and they are always fantastic about seeing my son 17 months, the same day if necessary. I have never been made to feel like the neurotic new mother! The reception staff are lovely too. A great practice in my opinion.

tomskip Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 If asked, I would give the practice 8/10. Have been with them since 1996. Their appointments system has certainly improved over the past few years.

Pugwash Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 We had put up with very poor GPs in Lordship Lane after senior GP Dr During died and it took three years or so before The Gardens opened up their list as very over subscribed. Never regretted this move - all the GPs are good, Dr. Tran is lovely, Liz (Nurse) is easy to get on with and very helpful. Drs. Cliffe, Fryer and Addo are all approachable and willing to listen. Dr. Cliffe is very well up on mental health. Opening hours range from early morning appointments with a couple of late evenings.

attentionseeker1 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Really like it- has a nice atmosphere, nice and small so you recognise all the staff, evening appts available.I see Dr Cliffe as well- if you specifically want to see her, there is sometimes a bit of a wait as she is very popular!
