Hopefully the NEW Polyclinics will be like this, except the difference is that these guys come out on call after hours - cheers!

Racist receptionists, stressed out student doctors working for free, making terrible mistakes and, while the head fuhrer rakes in £millions of taxpayers money. Hopefully United Health will run this place as a polyclinic soon and get rid of these wastes of oxygen!!

THIS PLACE IS WELL KNOWN TO BE A BAD PRACTICE, PATIENTS ARE TREATED WITH DISRESPECT, though Claire Chalmers-Butler-Watson is very much a sweetie, she could do a lot better, though the amount of £££,£££ per year each qualified GP pulls in costs the taxpayer more than any other surgery per person/performance -

So c'mon United Health, please chuck this lot out of here!

His receptionists are *awful* and it's a shame.

This is a teaching practice and as such there are many medical students who might see you instead, it's likely that you will be given the oppurtunity to be filmed for research and training purposes.

I would be wary of the receptionists as I have turned up for appointments that don't exist and the wrong dosage of medication has been prescribed more than once, maybe it's just me and you will be fine, however I would suggest the Caversham Practice down the road for much better logistics.

Dr Stephen Graham is a first class GP though his three receptionists let him down somewhat.

I'll commend the qualified GPs for some excellent service once you actually get seen. But watch out that the receptionists don't fob you off with an unqualified student doctor as this is mostly a teaching practice with two fully qualified (and quite excellent) General Practitioners.

There is counselling and homeopathy available here too but the administartion is in my opinion rather needlessly 'posh' and tied up in too much red tape which at worse is very worrying

They have a multiple services you can make good use out of. Everything from child care (in regards to taking your children there) to even psychology (there's a building right next to them they may recommend you go to if necessary). But overall, it's a laid back place. I've been in there a number of times where I've been looking for a specific person or doctor who worked there and was given prompt service (even if I were above in the que out of line, when it was near-emergency related).

They have a nice computerized check-in service so you don't have to worry about signing in and making sure the receptionist took note of it. It's almost certain you'd find a GP here that's suitable to your needs (male/female, background studies, specialities, etc).

I'll agree with Dan in saying if you're moving, or have moved recently to the Kentish Town area - I would give them a call. When I first registered, it was a breeze. Fill out forms, and finished. I had to change my GP, but that only took a quick "But..." and that was finished as well. Waiting times aren't that long, unless you pop in for the morning surgery.

Lastly, a bit of a hint/suggestion, if you're in need of a Doctor appointment (and not one with the nurse[s]), I would recommend calling after 8am. This is when they get most of their cancellations. Just be careful because you won't always get your GP if you're in that much of a rush to get in the same day.
