The Harley Street Clinic

I’ve just had one of the most unpleasant weekends of my life after having my wisdom teeth out here under general anaesthetic last Friday — so while I’m not sure you can really say ‘yay i’m a fan’ of a hospital (!) I can say this place did an excellent job through the whole process.
My op was as a day-​patient but I still got a private room, with enough perks that I almost felt guilty that I was covered by private medical insurance. Aside from the giant disposable pants (apparently they only had size XL left), it was a very comfortable setting for the long (and starving) wait pre-​theatre and the less pleasant recovery time post-​theatre.
I’ll spare you the gory procedure details but I was treated with impressive courtesy by everyone I had contact with here, from the receptionist to the nurses to the catering staff. The right information didn’t quite flow between the various parties as well as it could have, but they did an amazing job of making the whole situation just about bearable. I’m sorry if you do ever have to come here, but if so take comfort you’re in good hands :)

Went to see Dr Goll after being referred by my dentist. The clinic is located just on the corner of Harley Street and Weymouth street in a couple of combined ex residences. The staff there were professional and they had some state of the art equipment (never had a full x ray taken of my head before, it was like a panoramic shot). After the film was ready, we discussed options and booked in surgery. Maggie, Dr Goll’s secretary is a pleasure to work with, she was so organised that I was almost unnecessary to the entire process. Even when my health insurance didn’t want to pay for it or ask for local anaesthetic, Dr Goll asked for the phone number and 10 minutes later I had my authorisation. Great work!
