What patients say on Google
“I had a very good medical appointment at DocTap. Very punctual doctor, she assisted me with all my questions and was very efficient. Bonus points to the wonderful Esther, the receptionist that helped me explain what needed to be done to my travel insurance.”
“Could not recommend Dr Laura Mindel from this practice more highly! She’s easily one of the kindest, most patient and lovely GPs I’ve come across. She performed a small procedure for me at the DocTap Canary Wharf clinic. I was very anxious, but she made me feel really comfortable and at ease, and talked me through every step. Will definitely be returning to her in the future! I will also add that all the phone support staff and receptionists I dealt with were super friendly, lovely and helpful. I will be recommending DocTap to friends!”
“We’ve been seeing Dr Lakshmi Kumar, and I just want to say how grateful we are for her care. She is incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable — always calm and collected, and really takes the time to explore and investigate my mum and Dad’s health issues thoroughly with various tests and referrals. Even though we’re still in the process, we already feel we’re in absolutely good hands. Thank you, Dr. Dr Lakshmi Kumar, for your genuine care, incredible knowledge, compassion and professionalism.”
“Dr Tasneem Ally was very thorough, helpful, and friendly - really appreciated her approach and help. It is also convenient that the consultation room is location within a pharmacy, so prescriptions could be sorted out quickly.”
“I’ve been to a lot of GPs over the years and usually left feeling like no one really cared. That completely changed with Dr. Lakshmi. She’s easily the most caring and thorough doctor I’ve ever had. I’ve been seeing her for over 5 years now and my husband goes to her as well. The Doctap clinic is also great – always clean, professional and I’ve never had to wait long for an appointment. 10/10 recommend I never go anywhere else!!”
“I had an excellent experience at this clinic. The doctor was incredibly professional, warm, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. She carried out all the exams efficiently and with such care that I barely felt anything.”
“Good listening and comprehending the problem in suggesting medicine”
“I had a wonderful experience at this hospital. The doctor was the best — very knowledgeable, caring, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, which made me feel comfortable and at ease. I truly appreciate the excellent care and highly recommend this hospital to others…”
“Booking the appointment was easy. There were plenty of options. The location was accessible and centrally located. Dr Alex was competent and knowledgeable. I was seen on time. The facilities are clean.”
“It’s an excellent service with a highly commendable staff.”
“Quick service, very friendly staff and I was able to get my results within an hour!”
“I found this great clinic in 2023, I had met Dr Mehra and had a great experience, I feel so lucky that he's still here, always so professional, kind, thank you !!! GRAZIE!”
I have used the DocTap practice a few times, and each time the GP has been very helpful, detailed and caring with the consultations. The flexibility and multi locations has made it very easy for me to see a doctor quickly, and also follow up appointments with the same doctor. I would highly recommend DocTap as the go to private practice.
