Dr Rabia Yaqoob was extremely helpful! She was trying to understand and capture the most details about my issue. Her smile and positive attitude make me feel very comfortable.

I've had horrible experiences for years with a specific GP practice in the area and decided to finally move to GP Direct during covid. Best decision, highly recommend this practice. Staff are kind, patient and understanding. Even the receptionists are too. Special thank you to Dr Rabia for her kindness and understanding.

I had to find time for writing this review. I honestly haven’t met a doctor like Dr Nizar Merali. He is an amazing doctor with compassion and consideration. Talking to him feels you are half cured there and then. I would highly recommend.

PS

Excellent customer patient care service provided by one of receptionist GiUsella at Welbeck Road Surgery for going that extra mile.

We offer a range of services beyond the scope of standard general practice which include extensive family planning services such as the fitting of coils and implant devices, joint injections, travel advice and vaccinations including Yellow Fever (some of which incur a charge as they are not covered by the NHS). We also offer a range of private medical services such as general medical examinations, examinations on behalf of insurance companies, at the request of solicitors and for the statutory needs of the DVLA or other bodies. 

The core service of offering our patients an accessible service with an appropriate clinician in a timely manner for a presenting medical complaint is at the heart of our service to you. The practice also provides a full range of nursing services including cervical screening, wound dressings, ear syringing and childhood and travel immunisations. We also offer regular reviews to patients with long term diseases such as diabetes, asthma and heart disease and have an in-house service for blood tests and ECGs throughout the week.
