What patients say on Google
“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.”
“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!!”
