  Moving from Folkestone to Dover soon and would like recommendations for a G P please. Preferably with the occasional appointment available.
  Yes we are AFF (across from Folkestone) pushed out by private rental prices in Folkestone going a little crazier than Dover but honestly we’re looking forward to getting to know the town.

  St James is very good and have a back up service, but so might all the others, I find all the reports of GP in Dover are good.

  I am with this surgery and in no way would I recommend them to anyone.
  
  although nearly 80 I had o contact from them prior, during or until a long time after the covid lockdown for blood tests and blood pressure checks which were supposed to be done every six months. I even had to arrange all my covid vaccinations myself with no contact or help from them.
  At the end of January I nearly died with Pneumonia and Sepsis. After my release from hospital Pencester even ignored the hospital consultant's request for vital follow- up blood tests etc until after a month I put in an official complaint to the practice manager.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
