My GP practice is somewhere else, but I come here for blood tests, and was extremely delighted to…read morefind a well-organised place that did not keep me waiting long. I was in and out within a few minutes! Now I am thinking of registering here to see a doctor, but probably not, as the parking is very minimal and always presents a headache as there is usually nowhere to park.

It can be pretty stressful moving to a new area and trying to work out which of the many GPs are…read moreworth signing up to! I personally had a good look through the NHS choices website, but as most people only bother to review places when they are angry... so it can be scary reading!! It makes it sound like all the doctors in this area are useless with reception staff that have been replaced by trolls - eep! This review is in case other yelpers move to Walthamstow and have a similar difficulty choosing a GP! Addison Road Medical Practice is just around the corner from Walthamstow Village...it is quite a residential area, and there aren't many sign posts nearby, so take a map the first time you attempt to get there! I called ahead to find out the best time to come in and register. I had to fill in quite a few forms...and then needed to set an appointment with a nurse to finish the registration. The Brilliant bits: * I have never been kept waiting for a long time here. There is a sign in screen at the side of the reception. This morning I signed in, and was called to the doctor within 2 minutes...then I was out with a prescription within 10 minutes. * They always keep some appointments free each morning. If you call at 8:30, you can get one pretty easily. The downside of this is that you might need to wait for a non-urgent appointment. * The building seems new-ish and clean * The reception staff are friendly, although have little time to help as they are so busy. * It's NHS, so fixes you up for free (^^) The less-brilliant bits: * You aaaaalways need to hold as the phone line is always busy. * The place seems pretty big, and can be daunting the first time you go here. No-one bothers to instruct you how to get to rooms...so I just wandered around looking at signs until I spot the right consultation room. * There is a board that tells people the doctor is ready to see them...but no announcement. The first time I went there I was not told to sign in/watch the board, so I nearly missed my appointment. * I found my doctor quite unapproachable...He did give me antibiotics for my chesty cough, but his brisk manner made me unwilling to ask him other questions. *sigh*

I didnt know this but i could phone through to him too! recently my toe took a major battering in a footy game and well its not a pretty site. initially i got on to google for advice on looking after it, as you do but there were so many conflicting pieces of advice that i picked up the phone no appointment or anything and got some tailored advice from my GP! The other Doc at this practice is Dr Bukhari she is the main and long term doc there. i have been seeing her since i was a kid and despite now having reached the age of 31 still calls me "sweety, darling or baby"! Both Doctors show a great level of concern for you health and will insist on monitoring your health until they are satisfied with results.

Tried everything I could think of then decided I would speak to a doctor. Work don't provide a GP service for us and I searched for doctors and these guys came up first. The price - 44£ and this included the prescription the doctor wrote me The convenience - I booked from my desk this morning then saw the doctor during my lunch time. I was seen on time. The doctor - Dr Elizabeth Sinclair was lovely. I think they have loads of different ones here so difficult to say who you're going to get but if they're like her they'll be perfect for anything. I got a prescription after a quick chat with the doctor and was able to collect it from the pharmacy downstairs. Useful info : they're on the 37th floor so worth arriving a bit earlier than you'd think so you have time for the lifts etc! Also, check out my pic of the view from the waiting area. It's insane!
