Surgery hours have recently been extended so that working patients are more likely to be able to get appointments. They have also recently changed their booking system, allowing patients to book appointments up to two weeks in advance, as previously they only had an on-the-day booking system. The staff I have come across have been friendly and helpful, and the surgery is easily accessible. Overall, I would give this place a thumbs up, which for an NHS joint is pretty impressive.

I was referred here for treatment when the cold symptoms I had continued to worsen after 10 days. The staff were polite and efficient. The wait time to see the nurse was less than 30 minutes (mind you, this was a Monday morning in late June and not the peak of cold and flu season). The physical examination she conducted was thorough, hands-on, and certainly unlike anything I have experienced in the USA.* At first, the exam seemed too rudimentary to possibly be an effective diagnostic tool, but I was wrong. The nurse also had a significant number of questions to ask, along with inquiring as to how my specialist in Los Angeles had treated these same symptoms on previous occasions. The nurse seemed impressed by what I recounted to her, stating that the diagnostics and treatment my specialist in LA. had administered were rather advanced. Even so, I found her examination and line of questioning impressive. As it turned out, her diagnosis and prognosis were spot on. Even better, this service would have cost me at least 250 US dollars at my physician in Los Angeles, whereas it only cost me 25 pounds in the UK. Based on this one experience, I wouldn't hesitate to come here again. Hours of operation... Monday-Friday 8.00am-8.00pm Saturday-Sunday 10.00am-8.00pm (also Bank Holidays) closed Christmas Day * In America, physicians are reluctant to touch patients unless absolutely necessary, lest they be sued. Americans tend to be overly litigious.

Friendly nurses! What a relief to walk into an NHS clinic and not be greeted with either a…read moredeathstare, apathetic look, or derision. Those three describe my two previous encounters with the NHS so luckily I haven't been sick much in the last 3 years. Now to be fair, I'm actually a fan of the NHS. Sure I hate paying NI taxes as much as anyone, but I do appreciate not having to pay when I do need to use a hospital. However, I've heard the horror stories and lived in a slight fear that I may shoplift a few germs inadvertently while I'm there due to lower the spectacular conditions that result when you put too many people into too small a space and fail to provide enough funding (which has been spent on fancy ways to blow up caves). This slightly irrational fear is made worse when you are going to a walk-in clinic which in the states would be crammed with coughing, dirty, mostly homeless people who have no private medical insurance to rely on. Luckily, within 30 seconds of walking into the Soho Walk-in Clinic, my fears were put to rest. The receptionists are very friendly and patiently took me through the process of registering and explained the next few steps. The waiting room was quite spacious and turnover fairly high so everyone was spaced several seats apart. A selection of newspapers and magazines (fairly recent) were also provided in case you didn't have a phone or book to keep you occupied. The place was also very clean which is quite a feat when you are catering to sneezing and coughing invalids. After being called in for a quick screening which consisted of a few questions, I was told it would be under an hour before I saw the nurse. I should note that there are only nurses here and not full doctors so if you are seriously ill they will likely have to refer you to one of the full hospitals. However, for most things they are more than capable of diagnosing and dosing you up. About 30 minutes after the screening, I was called in to see a nurse. First off, she was hilarious. I do appreciate it when they give you a bit of banter rather than just rattling off questions in as efficient a manner as possible. While taking my blood pressure we had a bit of a chat about things and she was pretty good with explaining what she was about to do. It was also a fairly educational experience as I learned that I was borderline overdosing on paracetamol (too many Lemsip Max tablets in one day) and that it can have serious consequences like stopping your heart. Fair enough, I will follow the instructions more carefully from now on. I was diagnosed with tonsillitis in about 10 seconds flat and given penicillin right there. I definitely appreciate being dispensed drugs on site as it avoids an annoying trek and wait to Boots when you just want to feel better. My nurse was also good at explaining the importance of following the full 10 day regime despite the fact I'd likely feel fine after 3 days. If she hadn't mentioned it, I would have been very tempted to stop after a few days (I don't like taking pills) but that would have helped push along the development of a penicillin resistant strain which isn't good for anyone. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience and would definitely recommend the Soho Walk-in clinic to everyone. I'll be going there as my first stop next time I'm sick for sure!

I have been recommended to Harley Street Health Centre by one of my colleagues. So I booked an appointment with Dr Abood. The consult lasted an hour, and included a chat about my symptoms, when they occur, ear & nose check, blood pressure and also had blood taken. Personally, even though I am in my mid 30's,I am really scarred of the needle, but the nurse was amazing. She distracted me by keeping my mind busy chatting, while she was drawing blood. Offered me water & advised to wait for couple of minutes before I leave. The whole experience was 5*. No rushing or looking at you like you are crazy because your palms & sole is itching at night, weirdly enough. So the next day I got my results. It was not as bad as I thought. Iron & Vitamin D deficiency. Something that can be fixed easily. So glad I went to the clinic, as my nose bleeds and itchyness have been haunting me for years. I am now taking my supplements & feeling much better. Will have another blood test done probably in 3-4 months.

But if you still want to, by all means read on. The physicians are concerned for you yet hurried and therefore get you in and out of the office in ten minutes. They strike an unusual and slightly unnerving balance between making you feel as if you're just another blip on the radar of the appointment day and as if you're a real person with potentially real medical problems. The front-office staff work efficiently. Since the office is in a primarily student-populated area, the waiting room is full of pamphlets that run the gamut from warnings against chlamydia (you whore) to instructions on how to cook healthily for yourself to stave off the obesity epidemic (booga booga). It's also full of students and the odd pensioner. Conveniently, the office runs walk-in clinics every day for those people who seem to be personally opposed to setting doctor's appointments. Although, if this applies to you, be prepared to wait for a long time. And then to use the toilet during your wait because of the four cups of coffee you had before arriving. And then promptly cut the flesh of your hand open and rip your fingernail off on the toilet lock because it's fidgety and gets stuck while you're trying to lock it whilst fidgeting yourself. And then need to book yourself in to go see the nurse on top of seeing the doctor to get your wound cleaned and bandaged. This is all hypothetical, of course. I can't say I've ever got a same-day appointment like another reviewer, but the option of going to the walk-in clinic is always there. The nurse also conducts walk-in clinic hours for the prescription of contraceptives and the performance of smear tests. But of course the one time I went specifically to get my cervix swabbed she was too busy and made me set an appointment for the following week. I'm not gonna lie; I was pretty pissed about that. Not only did I reserve time in my day to make a special trip to get my vagina probed, but I was turned away-- My vagina, rebuffed; its pride, wounded.

One little complaint but I still won't remove a star from my review because the care REALLY made up for it but I came here under a suspected stroke, which we told the front desk. I still waited in the waiting room as people with finger injuries went in ahead of me. I passed out on my boyfriend's shoulder (one of my symptoms!) during the 40 minute wait. 40 minutes is a pretty long wait for suspected stroke but they probably see a lot of people coming in with 'major' concerns in order to jump the queue. Regardless, once I was able to speak to someone, I was quickly swept away in a wheelchair, found a bed in the stroke unit (even though they ruled out stroke), and looked after extremely well! They even offered my mom coffee after she came in directly from a long haul flight from America. The staff really made this place incredible.
