A well run, friendly practice which makes visiting the doctor a more pleasant experience…read more The Range Medical Centre is conveniently located on Withington Road, and is easy to access from Chorlton, Hulme or Whalley Range via bus. The reception and admin staff are polite and courteous, making efforts to accommodate your appointment and work around your schedule, often calling you back if a more convenient slot becomes available. They are very professional and maintain patient confidentiality, and speak about patients respectfully when talking to each other (which I have seen reception staff fail to do in so many other practices). The waiting rooms are clean and comfortable, displaying useful information and calling you to the surgery rooms via a large screen. There is even an electronic check-in desk where you can sign in for your appointment when the reception desk is very busy. All of the doctors and practice nurses I have seen have been professional and caring, and I would recommend this surgery to anyone living in the catchment area.

Withington Community Hospital isn't really in Withington. It's in West Didsbury. I was a bit…read moresuspicious when I was referred to this hospital as in my experience any establishment with the word 'community' in it has had zero sense of community and on the contrary has been pretty rough. However, this NHS hospital is large, modern and welcoming with nice artwork on the walls - or so my boyfriend tells me. The dermatology department, which I was referred to, is located in a little old portacabin just down the road. Every time I've been there I've had to wait for at least 20 minutes after my appointment time. The walls are covered in little posters warning patients not to abuse staff if they're running late, which made me think that my experiences were not uncommon. When I was finally seen the treatment I received was absolutely excellent, the nurse was always so friendly and didn't give the impression she was rushing through (probably the reason for the wait). On one visit I also saw a specialist Dr who was just as friendly and helpful. You can park free for 30 minutes (which would be enough to drop someone off but not for an appointment), there is a pay and display machine for longer visits and the 84 bus stops right outside the hospital. There isn't an A&E, so this is only really a hospital you would visit on referral from a GP, but there is also a walk-in centre in the main building.

Let me first start by writing that The NHS is a wonderful national institution that has seen me…read morethrough many operations safely and I admire and respect its employees. However, when my Dad had his operation cancelled, TWICE, THE DAY BEFORE, enough was enough and he went private. Being admitted to The Spire was like checking into a four star hotel. No queues, no waiting time, no stressed out nurses and sleep deprived junior doctors, No busy wards with dubious bed neighbours telling you all about their prolapsed piles, no, no, no, The Spire is private darling and that would never do!! It had free parking, a lovely, friendly receptionist and pleasant waiting area which we were in for almost a minute before a porter came to fetch dad and introduce him to his room. Quite honestly, having had no experience of private hospitals before, the room was not quite as elaborate as I expected. Maybe the chaise longue and swags and tails curtains in my imagination were a bit farfetched. The Spire's bedroom looked like a nice Premier Travel Inn with a TV and a lovely white en-suite bathroom. I suppose I was regarding the whole situation from the wrong perspective. The Spire is not about the decor, it is about providing excellent quality individual care in an environment where a patient can choose their own consultant, experience tremendous facilities and have their ailments addressed promptly. Actually, it was well posh! Dad had to choose from a menu of full English or Continental breakfast, a typical dinner was chicken and sweetcorn soup and prawn salad- he didn't want to leave!. All the staff were so friendly and there were no visiting restrictions. Dad was more than amused to realise that most of the patients were there for cosmetic surgery and I must say that I did have a look at what procedures are performed there ( boobs, nose job, lipo, tummy tuck, eyelid surgery and bingo wings...... I was just curious). Great hospital, lovely staff and dad received the treatment he deserved.

It was pointing me towards the car park of my local Sainsburys. Was it mad? No! It was completely sane. My new doctor is accessible via the car park of my local Sainsburys. Whaddya know. Bodey Medical Centre is clean, sleek and looks all shiny and new. So there are the usual waiting times, the hanging around, the boredom, but both my experiences here have made up for any bureaucratic annoyances. Basically, twice I have visited Bodey, twice for unpleasant things which are necessary to female health and well-being, and twice I have been impressed. My first appointment was with a female doc, second with a nurse. Both women were calm, friendly and most comforting, and both the nicest people ever to venture quite so intimately about my person apart from the obvious. My first appointment led to a hospital consultation which was handled quickly and efficiently - she said my appointment letter may take up to two weeks to arrive but it appeared in less than one. Similar story with nursey, who said results might take around three weeks but reached my letterbox in a few days. Bodey, seriously! Trinity Medical what-now? Call me fickle but my affections are totes transferred.
