Baillieston Health Centre has been my local doctors since I was a wee yin.
A lot of work has gone into this medical centre in the past few years, with a total refurb that has been kept up to scratch over the past 5 years or so.
It contains several different departments, including more than one GP practice, a dentist, nurses stations, physiotherapy, and a pharmacy. There are also a number of services that travel through, including greengrocers who pitch up once a week and sell fresh produce inside the centre.
The MacKinnon practice has one of the best GP appointment systems I've ever experienced, wherein you call up before 9am on the day to make an appointment for the same afternoon. In the same turn they have an open clinic until 11am every morning, so that you don't have to wait weeks to get an appointment and can pop in whenever you need. It can be a pain if you accidentally sleep past 9am and miss out on getting an appointment, but it beats waiting 4 days to get some medication for that tonsillitis or whatever is doing you in!
All in all, it has been vastly improved in recent years and continues to be a good health centre for the local community. read more
