The Northwood Surgery Reviews 4

Northwood Estate agents. What an awful display of prejudice. They are! I rented Monument Mansions in Wigan. It didn't have fire alarms or carbon defector that is required by law. After nine years, the landlady decided to do a boiler check, and shortly after decided to sell.  I got a text and shortly after I was burden with their viewings. I spoke with someone that assume I was gay. She spoke about tran people and her children having to mix. My friend is artisum and I'm a support to him. They are that awful. But for what it worth 'trans ' are an invisible sector and its more with bullying at school. Expect racism from their property manager that harbour and character assignation. The guy is artisum and the police had been there more than once to tell them to behave.  What can I say, I'm glad I got out with my life. Its just scum. Landlord blocked

I am 17 and entitled to free prescriptions. I suffer from eczema and my mum had been buying products to control this condition. But like everyone else COVID has had an effect on her finances. I contacted the surgery at end of September 2020 as a flare up was extremely bad and had affected my neck and under my ears. Northwood had no telephone consultations and I received a call from Gracefield Gardens. The GP was knowledgeable and helpful and prescribed Aveeno and some other items. The Aveeno was great. I only used it on the affected area so it lasted a while. It ran out and I filled out the repeat prescription form only to be called and told I should purchase Aveeno myself. I explained the above and was told to book another phone consultation. Only a GP could not be bothered to ring me but sent a text stating she couldn’t give Aveeno instead of she wouldn’t as it’s been prescribed already. The text stated an alternative would be given. On collecting prescription I was prescribe Aqueous cream which my mum buys as it’s a pound and I can only use as a soap as it does not moisturise my skin type. The doctor would have known this had she bothered to call. So I am now to understand that even though Gracefield Gardens and Northwood are both Lambeth surgeries that one can prescribe Aveeno but the other cannot.
I understand the Doctors are trying to save their budget but I am a non working student not by choice and now I will have to find a way to purchase Aveeno if it is not prescribed.

Clearly I am not happy with the service or the GP taking the sky way out of not informing me by phone what she was prescribing or having the decency to see if what she prescribed would actually help.

I visited the surgery recently and was impressed not just by the spectrum of medical service provided but by the sincere interest that Dr. Karia has for the well being and good health of her patients. Her ethos of focusing on prevention and long term good health, as well as the treatment of immediate health concerns is refreshing and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to individuals and families looking for top notch healthcare.

My wife convinced me to have this new procedure for my face called SkinPen - apparently, it improves your appearance and the best part is that it's non-invasive i.e. no surgery :-) I can honestly say that it has worked and I do look 10 years younger !! The other thing is to make sure you get this done by a qualified expert. I would really recommend the team at The Northwood Surgery - they are definitely a safe pair of hands !!
