Very good practice also very good doctors and receptionists very helpful
I am very happy with the care I get. My GP is very good on my mental health as well as my physical health. Very happy with all the care from all the professionals and receptionists at Barkantine.
Dr S. Bingham is an exceptional dr. I don't think I would still be alive if it wasn't for Dr B. He cares!! What I respect about him, he doesn't give a tablet out for the sake of it. I could go on and on. Brilliant doctor the I've ever had.
I am really happy with Dr Rahman. He is fantastic, Dr Rahman has great expertise. Dr Rahman is implacable.
Dr Moncada is my doctor and she really helps me understand how I could improve my anxiety. She is really helpful and has helped me throughout the years. I think this is is a very good practice.
It would be great to have more family planning services. With working hours it's difficult to access the limited family planning services in the clinic.

Comments from patients
Doctor's should give us more time, that will be helpful for us, they should have to be more careful about child care.
I have young children, would help if you had toys to give them to play with. Few months we had to wait 30 mins for my daughter's appointment! But overall a good practice!
The Barkantine is one of the very best surgeries we have in East London. Everything is at hand. The GP in this practice are excellent. Kind caring and attentive. The phlebotomists are also excellent at what they do, as are the receptionists. I feel we are extremely luckily to have a health centre like this in East London. The staff here are very dedicated at all times.
The surgery is one of the best. This service is cantered on the patient care. The needs of the patient are put into consideration (especially during the appointment and lateness).
It would be great to have more family planning services. With working hours it's difficult to access the limited family planning services in the clinic.
