Patient Reviews
What Our Patients Say
★★★★★
Called at 9am, seen by 11am. The GP spent a full 25 minutes with me, arranged blood tests and a referral. My NHS wait would have been 3 weeks minimum. Worth every penny.
— Tom R.
★★★★★
I needed a sick note urgently for work and couldn’t get an NHS appointment. Basuto saw me same day, the GP was thorough and professional, and I had my note within the hour.
— Claire D.
★★★★★
The difference between 7 minutes at the NHS and 30 minutes here is night and day. The doctor actually listened, examined me properly, and explained everything. I’ve now registered as a member.
— James P.
