“Courtfield Private Practice, and Dr Laura Wood in particular, are brilliant – professional, friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.”

Robin Hindle Fisher

“Thank you for another year of such wonderful care and for always fitting us in, even when you’re busy. You’re such a great doctor but somehow you always make us feel like we’re popping in to see a friend! How wonderful is that?!”

Ffiona, Kensington

Excellent GP- Dr Ward was very thorough, listened and came up with a sensible plan

Anonymous, Kensington

“Dr. Jill Harling has been my doctor for many years, and I hold her in the highest regard. She is a rare kind of doctor—one who truly listens, cares, and provides exceptional support. Her professionalism is outstanding, and her good sense of humor is invaluable, especially when managing the challenges of chronic, long-term health conditions.”

Caroline, Kensington

“We are extremely happy with Dr Ladbrooke and everyone at Courtfield Private Practice. Everyone is friendly, happy and caring while providing wonderful medical services. Thank you!”

Riza, Knightsbridge

“Thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable, thorough and caring GP professionals. Truly exceptional general practice for the whole family, with an excellent network for fast follow on referrals if required.”

Deborah Armstrong

“I’ve just read through Dr Ebba Khalil’s report. It is the most thorough and comprehensive medical I’ve ever had and I want to thank you for taking so much trouble”

Anonymous, Kensington

“I used the Courtfield out of hours service late on a Sunday night in June 2025 and was extremely impressed. Dr Joseph came at the agreed time, was thorough, reassuring and very competent. I had a follow up call and text after the appointment to check everything was alright. I cannot recommend the service and Dr Joseph highly enough.”

Joana Quina

“Thank you, everyone at Courtfield Private Practice, for looking after our family for so many years. It will be hard to beat this level of service and professionalism when we are looking for our next primary care. Wishing you all the best and thank you again!”

Melinda, South Kensington

“My late and very elderly father was a patient of the Courtfield, and I could not have been happier with the truly exceptional care he always received, initially from Dr Tim Ladbrooke, and more recently from Dr Sophie Ladbrooke. Like both her parents, she is an absolutely first-class doctor, and I could not recommend the practice highly enough.”

Simon Tesler

“Dr Jill Harling, thank you for another year of such wonderful care and for always fitting us in, even when you’re busy. You’re such a great doctor but somehow you always make us feel like we’re popping in to see a friend! How wonderful is that?!”

“Lovely Practice with delightful staff”

Annabelle, Sussex

“Dr Thompson has treated me on various occasions over approximately 10 years. Each time, she has listened to my concerns and offered sound medical advice. I don’t feel like I have just visited a doctor – I feel I am meeting with someone who knows and understands me. I would thoroughly recommend Dr Thompson.”

Alex Lowther

“Thank you so much for all your help over the last very hard month. We are so grateful. You are the best!”

Marcel, South Kensington

“Dr Sophie Ladbrooke is absolutely everything you would hope your GP to be – compassionate, knowledgeable and able to make you feel completely at ease, regardless of the situation. She strikes a perfect balance between tailored, friendly interactions and absolute professionalism. I feel incredibly lucky to have been under her care.”

Laura, Kensington

“Having has some concerns (I am now 80), I consulted Dr Russell Ward of Courtfield Private Practice, who has been my GP for over 2 years. As always, he was – and is – extremely thorough, an excellent diagnostician and a doctor on whom I know I can rely completely.”

Neville Bass

“A wonderful practice that has been an important part of mine and my now adult daughters’ lives for well over 20 years. The care my mother received from Drs Harling and Ladbroke during her terminal illness was incredible. This is a very special practice with very special doctors.”

Janet, Belgravia

“Best private GP practice in West London. Courtfield embodies the spirit of being a “family doctor” practice in every way – cannot recommend them highly enough. 100% worth it”

Maximilian Behrens

“I cannot thank you enough for the speedy email. It was very kind of you to let me know as soon as you had the results.  Your empathy and professionalism are unmatched.”

Micaela, London

“I am very lucky to have a doctor so kind, patient and understanding… You make us feel we can ask you anything, and you will always give us the best, most practical help with your network of contacts”
