My appointments with Dr Rasha Gadelrab are always a high level of care and understanding.She is always very helpful and kind with all of my medical needs.
Posted on: 03/04/2026
I personally feel that Friern Barnet Medical Team deserve an excellent praise and reviews. The Doctors are the life line of our community and we are so blessed to have them.They have always maintained a high standard quality of care over the years. They conduct themselves in a very professional manner. They always try their best to meet their clients needs to the best of their abilities and knowledge.
The Receptionist are helpful and polite.
I'm grateful to be seen by Dr. Rasha Gadelrab. She was very reassuring and understanding whilst explaining my medical issues. She was thorough in her medical report.She sent a referral quickly for investigations and this took place after 2 weeks. I'm indeed so thankful for the care i have received. Thank you so much...

Posted on: 02/04/2026
The doctor was very friendly and considerate about my issue, understood my complaints and was clear on next steps to take for my individual case. The appointment was quick and all my concerns were addressed.
Posted on: 02/04/2026
I felt respected, listened to and my concerns were not waived off as being irrelevant and not a priority. For patients without a physical ailment approaching a doctor can sometimes feel that it’s a waste of their time.. but I was heard and left with options to explore
Posted on: 01/04/2026
Self check in was simple and efficient. We didn't have to wait long and it was clear when it was our turn and where we had to go. The nurse was lovely - very friendly and very kind and reassuring with my 3 year old, who was there to get her immunisations. She even checked her travel vaccinations without being asked. This was my first visit to the surgery as we have recently moved to the area and I was very pleased with the whole experience.
Posted on: 01/04/2026
I would like to share how pleased I am with the support I receive from the team.
Caroline is absolutely brilliant at her job. She calls me every week without fail and is always so helpful, supportive, and kind. It really makes a difference knowing I can rely on her.
Dr Kushal is also excellent he always does exactly what he says he will do, which gives me a lot of confidence and trust in the care I’m receiving.
Janki, the receptionist, is wonderful as well. She is always helpful, friendly, and efficient, and makes everything run smoothly.
Overall, I’m very grateful for such a caring and professional team.

Dr Hitesh Shah and staff on reception have always given a professional and friendly service.
My phone line was poor but kept communication going regardless to resolve the issue via Accurx and another call back. I’ve been a patient for over 25 years and really haven’t wanted to change due to the level of service.
Thank you
Posted on: 01/04/2026
I used the NHS app to provide information about my symptoms, and I was given an appointment for a few days later. Usually when I ring for an appointment i have to wait two weeks, so this is a definite improvement.

I honestly would be so incredibly lost without this gp surgery. They have kept me strong through all the challenges that have presented themselves over the years. When you have an amazing health care service that is truly centred around the patients well being, it can make a massive difference to people's lives. To them they are just doing their jobs. But to us it means so much more. So incredibly indebted to the team, especially Dr H and K Shah. The reception team who do an amazing job also.

Posted on: 23/03/2026
My GP called me back one day after id submitted my online form for triage to assess. He was; and is always excellent when i get to see him.
I wish the appointments could be less complicated to make. It took me months to getvmyself to fill the online form.
Posted on: 23/03/2026
I filled in a triage form late in the afternoon explaining an urgent health issue and received a callback within about 10 minutes, which I really appreciated. I was then given an appointment to see a GP the following morning.
I saw Dr Shah (junior), who was absolutely brilliant. He examined me carefully, listened attentively, and was very sympathetic. He diagnosed the issue correctly and acted quickly by prescribing medication and arranging an urgent clinic appointment. Hand on heart, he was outstanding and I felt very well looked after.
My only negative point is that, given the urgency of my symptoms, I would have preferred to have been seen the same day, even briefly between patients if possible. I was extremely anxious and scared at the time, and the condition did require urgent medical attention.
Overall though, I’m very grateful for the quick response to my triage request and for the excellent care provided by Dr Shah.
Posted on: 22/03/2026
Staff considered my condition and gave me priority

I had an excellent service in the past 24hrs from both the admin staff and a very helpful Doctor. Due to the nature of my complaint I was given a rapid appointment and was assessed very thoroughly. The doctor took my particular worries about the issue into account and was really supportive and reassuring. After my issue was dealt with, the doctor also went to the effort of providing me with general health advice, ensuring that I had access to relevant screening and health checks. The appointment was on time & everything was dealt with swiftly and efficiently. I was really impressed, as I have been on previous occasions when attending with my children. I would highly recommend this practice.
