Private GP ratings & performance
See how DocTap’s private GP service is performing
We’re proud of the care our GPs provide, and we think patients should be able to see the evidence. Here you can see our latest patient ratings alongside monthly measures for appointment start times, result turnaround, continuity of care and clinical-review outcomes. You can also read recent Google reviews from DocTap patients below.
How promptly did appointments start?
We show the full picture—not just an average—so you can see how often appointments started on time and how long patients waited when there was a delay.
Appointment waiting times
Based on appointments between 3 June and 31 August 2026.
Were rapid test results ready to discuss with the GP in the same appointment?
Patients have their rapid tests taken shortly before seeing the GP. We measure how often the expected results are ready in time for the GP to review and discuss them during that appointment.
Ready during the appointment
84%
of expected rapid test results were ready for the GP to review with the patient in the same appointment.
Based on rapid test results from test-and-treat appointments between 3 June and 31 August 2026.
For this measure, a result counts as ready when it was available to the GP at least seven minutes before the appointment ended.
How soon were consultation notes completed?
We track how long it takes our GPs to complete the clinical record after each appointment, helping prescriptions, referrals and follow-up care move forward promptly.
Time to complete consultation notes
Based on GP consultations between 3 June and 31 August 2026.
How often did GPs use AI to help write their notes?
Our note-writing assistant helps GPs capture the consultation while giving more attention to the conversation. Every note is reviewed and approved by the GP before it becomes part of the patient’s medical record.
AI-assisted note-taking
89%
of eligible GP consultations used our AI note-writing assistant.
Based on eligible GP consultations between 3 June and 31 August 2026.
Was the issue resolved in one visit?
The split shows whether a patient raised an issue or completed a qualifying follow-up within seven days of the original appointment.
Appointment outcome
Based on the 90 days ending 24 August 2026. This allows seven days for follow-up. Resolved means no recorded patient-raised issue or qualifying follow-up within seven days.
Did returning patients book with a GP they had seen before?
For returning patients, we measure how often they chose to book with a GP who had treated them previously.
Booked with the same GP
27%
of eligible returning-patient appointments were booked with a GP the patient had seen before.

What patients say about DocTap on Google
“I had an appointment with Dr Fehmi yesterday and found her to be kind, thorough and very efficient. I felt like she really listened to my concerns. Would highly recommend.”
“Amazing service. The receptionist was so nice and welcoming. I saw Dr. Jallal Arshad, he was very kind and patient. After a week of horrible reactions and seeing a different GP, Dr Arshad made my skin condition better within 24 hours.”
“Clean quiet professional and friendly. Managed to get an appointment within 18 hours. Cant recommend enough”
“Dr Nitin Mehra takes a truly holistic approach to patient care, which is exactly how medicine should be practised. Even when an issue falls outside his main specialty, he has still been able to assess the situation properly, provide treatment where appropriate, and make timely referrals when needed. I really appreciate that. As a patient it is easy to feel lost in the medical system and to make mistakes about what is actually good or bad for your own health. Dr Mehra consistently redirects you with clear knowledge towards what genuinely helps. That kind of guidance is invaluable. In a system that feels completely collapsed, where for a long time the only option has been telephone appointments with no possibility of proper examination (no palpation, no auscultation, nothing), having a doctor who still shows genuine interest in the patient’s overall wellbeing makes a real difference. When you are in a situation like mine, money loses its value. What truly matters is feeling better, both physically and mentally. Dr Mehra understands that. Personally, I Highly recommended. Thank you for your dedication and professionalism. 🙏”
“Excellent experience with Dr Lakshmi Kumar. She's attentive, explains everything clearly, and truly cares about her patients. One of the best GPs I've come across - highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful for this service! We were seen within 90 mins of booking and the GP we saw so was kind and thorough. They have a lab and pharmacy on-site and were able to give us everything we needed to get on our way. Definitely recommend for anyone but especially for travellers needing quick help (without NHS info or a UK phone number). Thank you!”
“Excellent doctors & engaged receptionists. Quick to identify the issue and act on it, adjusting the treatment plan promptly when needed. Attentive and thorough throughout. Highly recommend.”

“One of the best gps I have been too … quick action and turn around with the test in record time!! Very grateful to Dr Nitin Mehra”
Choosing a private GP
What makes a highly rated private GP?
Patients comparing the best private GP options or looking for a top-rated private GP should look beyond a headline star score. Useful private GP reviews should be recent and read alongside independent regulation, clear pricing and evidence about how the service performs.
DocTap publishes patient ratings, recent Google reviews and monthly performance data for appointment start times, result turnaround, continuity of care and clinical-review outcomes. Together, these give you a fuller picture of the quality and reliability of our private GP service.

Questions about our ratings and performance data
- What should I look for when choosing the best private GP for me?
The best private GP for you should combine good clinical care with a service that fits your needs. Look for recent patient ratings and reviews, independent regulation, appropriately registered doctors, clear pricing and evidence about how care is delivered. DocTap publishes both patient feedback and monthly performance measures so you can assess the service for yourself.
- How should I compare private GP ratings and reviews?
A top-rated private GP may have strong patient feedback, but a headline score does not tell you everything. Check how recent the reviews are, how many patients responded and whether the provider also publishes evidence about appointment start times, result turnaround, continuity of care and clinical-review outcomes. Reading ratings, reviews and performance data together gives you a more rounded view.
- Are private GPs regulated?
Yes. Private GP services in England are overseen by the Care Quality Commission , while doctors must hold appropriate GMC registration and a licence to practise. The GMC also maintains the GP Register .
- Why doesn’t every completed appointment have a patient rating?
After every completed appointment, patients are invited to rate their experience, but responding is optional. The response rate shown for each monthly snapshot therefore reflects the patients who submitted a rating, and the most recent appointments may not yet have been rated. Patient ratings should be read alongside the broader operational and clinical measures on this page.
- Does ‘resolved in one visit’ mean no further care was needed?
No. For this measure, ‘resolved’ means that no patient-raised issue or qualifying follow-up was recorded within seven days. Some conditions appropriately require planned tests, referrals or further appointments, so this is a defined service measure rather than a guarantee that all care was completed in one visit.
