Medical services in Croydon

“Really knowledgeable and thorough staff, very helpful. Saved us a trip to the GP when my wife was in a lot of pain by having a call with her and prescribing medication. Also open on a Sunday unlike some pharmacies.”

“I’ve had the good fortune to be taken to Croydon University Hospital around 03:00 am. on Wednesday 5th November for blood test. The chest pain I had was caused by my heart, I was told. Heart attack?! For the next seven days I’ve had the best attention and the most polite care I could imagine. The food was far superior than in 2017 when I went through a similar experience in the hospital. My heartfelt thanks to everyone taking care of me, I’m truly grateful.”

“Dr Qusay in the A&E department helped me take out a glass shard in my foot just in time for Christmas ! Throughout the whole process he was reassuring and made sure I was comfortable enough to not feel any pain. The kindness and accommodation is really good!”

“This review is specifically for Dr Shazia Khan and the reception/admin staff. Dr Khan takes time to listen patiently and explain in a way that a patient understands their problem without feeling judged and dismissed. We all know that doctors have short appointments (10 mins only per patient) so they are very busy throughout the day and they are doing their best to see all patients on time, and like any other human beings they get tired. But when you get a kind and sympathetic doctor like Shazia Khan, at the end of consultation it feels like your problem has been solved rather than feeling guilty for calling the doctor. The reception and admin staff are very helpful as well.”

“I cannot recommend Sean Wickenden highly enough! Having visited numerous physiotherapists over the years, I can confidently say that none have matched the depth of knowledge, professionalism, and effectiveness that Sean always demonstrates in his treatments. I had really bad knee pain and I was expecting the focus of treatment to be around the knee itself. However, Sean quickly and accurately found the root cause, highlighting the weakness and imbalances in my hips and lower back, and without hesitation or second-guessing! Thanks to his expert assessment, and also providing a tailored exercise program, I am now completely pain-free. Sean's approach is both insightful and has given me great results, and I most definitely recommend him to anyone! Thanks Sean.”

“I highly recommend Beckenham Chiropractic, and particularly Dr Kieran Wilhelm. I recently saw Kieran for a persistent back issue that had troubled me for quite a while, and from the initial consultation, I instantly felt I was in safe hands. Kieran was exceptional; he clearly explained the likely cause and the recommended treatment program, always taking my wishes into consideration when determining the path forward. I especially appreciated how thoroughly he explained things at each stage. Needless to say, my back issue is now all but resolved after just a few visits, allowing me to fully return to my active lifestyle. Beyond the outstanding results, the practice is genuinely one of the best medical environments I have visited, owing to the warm and friendly reception staff and the general welcoming atmosphere.”

“The treatment I received at this centre has been above and beyond. I feel like the staff is my family and we know each other for years. Everyone right from welcoming me(Yasuri) , to Dr Sumudu taking my consultation and the biggest shout out to Madhu who did my massages abhyanaga, shirodhara, etc so beautifully! She was caring, held a very safe environment, very talented but sweet and humble at the same time. I came out feeling like a new woman-I felt more harmonised, more in sync with my body and the universe and felt like some negative energies were lifted off me. Thank you to the whole team, will definitely return and get my partner as well!”

“I have just had a knee replacement , carried out by Mr Sinah. The care I have received has been second to non. Anna, Jane and Elizabeth cared for me on the ward and nothing was too much trouble for them . Tris, my physiotherapist went through my exercises, explaining them clearly, giving me the confidence to do them . Mr Sinah was great, putting my mind at ease every step of the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Shirley Oaks and their staff. They have been amazing !”

“I have tried several treatments at Wellness Therapy Centre: Acupuncture with Sarah Joseph - this was my first time trying acupuncture; it was an amazing experience and I loved it. I've heard the term 'holistic treatment' before and after my session with Sarah I think I I finally understand what it means. The pre-treatment session was really thorough and I felt like I got a therapy session for free! The acupuncture itself was fantastic. It was very calming and relaxing and after my session I felt lighter like a weight had been lifted. Chiropody with Michaela - my feet had a lot of hard skin and I had pretty much given up on them ever looking nice. She did such a fantastic job of removing the hard skin and pampering my feet that after the treatment my socks felt softer! She also gave me good tips on how to take care of them and now several months later my feet still feel better than they did before the treatment. Reflexology with Gillian - I really enjoyed this treatment too. it was amazing how much Gillian picked up about the rest of my body from working on my feet. I'd swear I could feel toxins leave my body afterwards. I find all the staff at this centre to be really friendly, professional and helpful and I look forward to booking more sessions in the future.”

“Great Pharmacy. Staff are friendly and very helpful.”

“I went there to pierce my baby's ears and the service was quick, clean and professional. I got a choice of earrings and after care liquid to ensure my baby's ears will heal well and they did.”

“My children have been learning to swim with Aqua Skills for the last five years and I wouldn’t use any other swim school. They’ve had group lessons, 1:1 and 1:2 lessons and the standard of teaching is excellent. All of the instructors are friendly, patient and committed to securing progress. Unlike other swim schools in the area, group lessons are small and for beginner groups the instructors and their assistants are in the water. In our experience Aqua skills have also been brilliant at helping children to build confidence in the water and overcome any anxieties about certain addicts of learning to swim. The owners are also present at sessions and teaching sometimes themselves. They’re thoroughly lovely people and fantastic at what they do.”

“I have just had my first session of acupuncture and would highly recommend Ivy and Xu Clinic! Ivy was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and friendly and her acupuncture treatment alleviated my muscle tightness instantly. I will certainly follow her bespoke advice for daily lifestyle habits (many of which had never occurred to me) to maintain good health. Many thanks Ivy!”

“Highly recommend! Would definitely return again. I was initially pretty anxious about dropping off our 14 year old cat L who had never been to a cattery before. I did a lot of research beforehand and Farm Cottage had good reviews, so thought I'd give it a go. They welcome visits if you like before you drop your cat off so that you can check out their facilities etc. I didn't do this due to my own time constraints. However, I was pleased when I dropped L off and they allowed me to sit in her pen with her for as long as I liked to get her settled. I brought her favourite blanket and pillow with me so that she had something familiar with too and this was welcomed. They also support cats with conditions. L suffers with cystitis so I gave the Cattery her medication to provide to her during her stay. The Cattery is also located right next door to a vets, so you have that assurance that if there were any issues a vets is just 1 minute away! One of the best things about this place is that they are happy for you to come and visit your cat whenever (during opening hours). When I was enquiring about catteries, some other places said that visits were not allowed! Obviously for peace of mind you want to see how your cat is doing etc. I visited L one weekend and it was lovely to see her in high spirits. Thank you to Dan and the team for looking after L! I'll be sure to return in the future.”

“The Ayurvedic course at the institute is both highly knowledgeable and incredibly engaging. Dr. Deepika has expertly fine-tuned the curriculum, ensuring that if you trust the process, you’ll not only absorb the knowledge but also gain confidence in applying it. Her teaching style is remarkable—she puts her heart into every class, making the learning experience truly enriching. I’m extremely pleased to have joined and feel genuinely excited for each session. Highly recommended for anyone passionate about Ayurveda!”
