There are 4 doctors available but it is sometimes tricky to get an appointment if you are not flexible with time.

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.

She told me to just take hot water with lemon, honey and ginger. My kind of doctors. My husband has been here for checkups and minor ailments. The doctors have always been happy to help and when he specifically requested recommendations to a specialist, the ones they recommended have also been very professional and efficient.

It's fancy... and the service level matches that. I've had nothing but positive experiences here. I first visited for an oral surgery consultation with Dr. Luke Cascarini. A bit of banter, a look at my wisdom teeth and x-rays, and discussion about the pros and cons of surgery and off I went. I actually had my wisdom teeth out at another clinic, but I came back for 2 post-op consultations. Dr. Cascarini made me feel at ease and helped me weigh my options. I was an anxious little bunny about going under general anesthesia and getting my teeth ripped out... But he is an absolute gem. If you absolutely have to be sick, this place is a good place to be.

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!

We took a gamble and went to this clinic hoping this would not be a costly endeavor. The process was just as easy as an urgent care in our own country. The doctor was on time and saw us at the scheduled appointment time. The website was easy to make a same day appointment but spots seem to fill up quickly. The total cost including medication was a little under £75 which was a quarter of the price quoted by our hotel to have a doctor come to us. The office is located in the Portland House Building just down from the Victoria tube entrance. The practice is in an office building, you have to get a pass from the front desk before they allow you up the elevator then on the floor theirs a second desk that will direct you to the doctors office. (It was not hard to find but this information might be helpful to know for someone not used to navigating in a large metropolitan area.)
