I've been a patient of Thameside for around 10 years and have always had terrific care from Dr Childs. I find her manner welcoming, reassuring and thorough. She has taken time and care to help my family after bereavement, to get to know my health needs in detail and her care always feels both expert and full of common sense to me. I trust her advice absolutely, for both me and my child.

Oh dear. For years I've avoided Dr Childs because of her failure to listen, arrogance and overbearing, bossy approach. During that time I've been pleased with the other doctors I've seen at Thameside but so many have come and so many have gone and needing an appointment at a particular time all that was on offer was one with Dr Childs. I told myself it would not be too bad, over time she would have mellowed and surely now after all that has been written here she would listen and she would be more concerned with me rather than obsessed with herself. How wrong I was. I was barely in the room before she had decided what was wrong without asking me. I sat, got little opportunity to say anything and eventually left without anything being resolved and I can safely say Dr Childs still has no idea why I went or what was wrong as she didn't ask and when I tried to speak, didn't listen. I think the only solution to this overall is to register elsewhere which is a pity because I can see Thameside from where I live but so long as Dr Childs remains there as the rotten apple in the barrell then it's a practice to avoid.

Refuses me legitimately prescribed medicine despite being freely available on nhs. Ignores patient's voice and well being. A callous, egotistical doctor. Totally the opposite traits you want to see in a doctor. She should retire. Stay away if you want human empathy.

If Dr Childs put as much effort into listening to what you say to her as she does to bristling with her own huge sense of self importance then she might be worth consulting. As it stands see one of the others if you are unwell they care and are much better doctors.

Not a doctor you should choose to see, she might be tolerable for some minor ailment but certainly not for anything complex or major. See a different doctor is my advice. Dr Childs does not listen to people and continually tries to talk over you. A total waste of your time.
