You speak as you find, and - having been a patient at Greenford Avenue Family Health Practice for more than 18 years - I can only speak well of my continuing experience at the hands of a team who have always been nothing short of exemplary at each and every consultation I have attended !
Without exception, every GP who has dealt with my on-going litany of minor and (on rare occasions), major ills, has been sympathetic, caring and effective; simple as that ! Having read some of the niggling complaints on here, my first thoughts are, what does one want, or need, from a local physician, other than to be expertly and sensitively diagnosed and hopefully cured of whatever complaint one has presented with ? My message, therefore, to those patients who are seeking more - from these over-burdened *black-coated* professionals - is that they do their best to be pleasant in the process, but they are not products of a Charm School, but rather Medical School; hence their salutation, *Doctor*.
In recent years, I've been fortunate enough to been seen nearly always by the same GP; this made possible because one can wait outside the practice for, say 30 minutes, until 0830hrs daily, when the doors are opened; giving one the opportunity to choose one's preferred doctor from a list of five or six.
As to my favourite GP, this person is highly-competent, totally-supportive, routinely-sympathetic, and always 100 per cent accurate in their diagnostics; hence my doing my utmost to see them; an innately-gifted *healer* and super-effective GP, in the traditional and classical understanding of the term, who I have to say, is the most sought-after physician on the establishment of this singularly *Streets-above-Standard* practice, where this GP is the most-senior doctor, aside from the noted Surgeon and Physician presiding over this and three other surgeries within their corporate remit.
An object-lesson evincing this person’s unflagging-commitment - one, illustrative of their totally-involved, unswerving dedication to vocation and duty - is borne-out by the number of times I've spotted them - as late as 10pm - still visiting immobile patients in the area.
"Model GP Practice in-a-million !"
