She was also very sweet and kind, and you can tell she genuinely cares about helping her patients. She doesn't rush you or make you feel like you are just another patient, which is often the case with many other GPs. I highly recommend seeing her!”

“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!”
