"Best Surgery I've Ever Been To!!!"

A review of Hetherington Group Practice by PB, 45, SOUTHLONDON written on Thursday 3rd of April 2008

Hetherington Road Group Practice is the Best G.P. Surgery I've Ever Been to, & as someone who moved 10 times during the 1st 3 years of the 1990's & therefore had to swap G.P.'s loads of times......I've been to some dreadful surgeries, & some good surgeries..........this is the only one I can say is truly excellent in every sense; I moved to the edge of the catchment area for the surgery several years ago; People say to me "there are several Drs nearer to where you live, so why d'you still go to that one?" All I can say is BECAUSE I'M WORTH IT, that's why!!! Racially-speaking, the receptionist are not all white.........that really does make a change, doesn't it? They are all polite & friendly........now that makes a change as well; We've all been to surgeries where the receptionists are abrupt, rude, & almost want you to tell THEM why you want an urgent appointment with your Dr, before they'll give you one.....Well the receptionist here are not at all like that, but they are fabulous!

I must have seen most of the G.P.s in the practice over the 14 years I've been a patient (there, & at their old premises) & I haven't got a bad word to say about any of them. I do have loads of good things to say, but they wouldn't fit onto this space; So why not see for yourself? G.P.'s who know how to listen are, sadly, still a rarety, but NOT at THIS surgery!!! As well as for the usual physical stuff, I've also been to see them when I've been very depressed at times over the years........they are EXCELLENT when it comes to looking after your mental health, aswell as all the other, physical, things. Many years ago, at another surgery, the awful GP I went to would pick up his prescription pad & start to write out a prescription for antidepressants the moment I stepped through his door; I Don't think HE'D have ever considered that listening to what I had to say first might be a good idea! THINGS COULDN'T BE MORE DIFFERENT AT HETHERINGTON ROAD PRACTICE!!! And the latest premises makes you feel a bit better just for walking into the waiting room, because it's so beautiful inside; They've even got original modern art works on the walls, & a really good, well equiped play area for your kids. And last but certainly not least>>>>>>> The Nurses!!! As someone who needs regular blood tests, I can't praise them enough!!!
