Since they redecorated the place is a bit brighter too but could maybe use some pictures up in the waiting room as it's still a bit dreary. Oh and I love the nurses here.

I hate talking about people like this but the smell that was coming from her and the attitude that i was greeted with first thing definitely made me never want to be a patient there. This is not the standard that you expect from a private hospital, needless to say i wont be back and I would not recommend it to anyone else. If you are looking for a private hospital please go to Ross Hall.

I know some of you are probably wondering where Jackson and Ross have gone- thats what the surgery used to be called but Dr Ross had a baby and left! I only know becase they were changing the signs when i was there and someone asked the receptionist and she said. They are NHS doctors and offer the usual services including a blood pressure machine in the waiting room for which there is no charge. Also their magazines in the waiting room arent too bad.- a lot of Take a Breaks! I only visited twice when I worked in Glasgow but as ive lived all over the country I can assure you doctors are basically the same everywhere!

If you find yourself with need of an Osteopath I would have no hesitation in recommending Daniel…read more From start to finish the process is easy, honest and open and he will strive to help you feel better but will not make any promises that he can't keep. You can book in online via his easy booking tool. He offers free initial consultations where he will chat through options and give you an honest appraisal as to whether he thinks he can help you or not. Appointments are 30 mins but if he has no appointment after you he regularly works on to try and help you more and there is no extra charge. He creates a relaxed atmosphere where you can chat about just about any topic under the sun whilst he does the essential work that needs done to help you. If you are used to a really formal setting you may be taken by surprise, but for me the chilled atmosphere is a huge plus. His aim is to get rid of you (feeling better of course). Not a good business plan, but great for patients as you know he ain't just in it to keep you coming back for ever and ever like you hear from some other practitioners who always want to have you booked in again.

No one came close until I walked into Daniel Gerber's treatment room. He knew exactly where the problem was almost without input from me and after only two sessions my pain began to disappear and my posture straightened noticeably. After a short period of regular appointments I moved onto maintenance sessions as and when I feel the need- sometimes several months apart. Back pain is a horrible experience - it makes you irritable and miserable, easily distracted and generally less able to cope with the day to day. Not any more! This man has changed my life!

Well, I guess I wouldn't say it's close, but it's closer than going to the west end. My guy recommended this dentist, as this is the one he goes to, so I figured, why not make this our family dentist. Huzzah. This dentist must be pretty busy because I called in for an appointment and they were able to schedule me in a month later. No biggie, I had no pressing issues to speak of. When I arrived, it was a blustery typically rainy Glasgow day so I was quite happy that it was so warm and toasty inside the Dentists doors. The waiting room is full of antique furniture, I almost felt as though I had stepped back in time. Very cozy indeed, I was able to relax a bit while I waited to be seen. When I was taken back for my check up, I was greeted by friendly staff and we got down to business. I spoke of a few small issues I was having and without even blinking, we were off and running, chatting about the ins and outs of teeth, and how mine are pretty great. (Years of braces and the want to keep them as clean as possible probably helps). I quite enjoyed that the dentist was chatty, as it helped ease any anxiety I have about being in the dentist chair. I'm back in a few weeks for a cleaning and it's funny to think that I'm actually looking forward it it.

Can you go as far as to say you love the Dentist?…read more If it were possible I would say I loved this one. Although no one wants to go to the dentist McCarte and Swan's is just about the least intimidating, most friendly surgeons you could hope to find in the centre of Glasgow. They're based on Douglas St in a surgery that used to be a house. With comfy chairs, Smooth Radio in the background and a cozy, living room ambience, it's hard to feel nervous. You may have to wait a couple of weeks to be seen so if you can afford to, book in advance. They do, however, offer emergency appointments, are open late on certain week days and will strive to see you as quickly as possible should you require assistance. And you know, even when you do get to the part where you're sitting in the chair, the dentists and nurses are so good you're out before you can blink. I've been in for some pretty painful infections in the past and had to get a number of jags in one day but the crazy thing is I don't remember it being as sore or unpleasant as it could've been. My dentist is Dr McCarte and he always offers friendly advice and chats away. So even in the most severe cases he goes out of his way to make your life a lot easier - he seems completely at ease which also helps. The general upkeep of your teeth is up to you but a check up and tooth cleaning in here is just over ten pounds and it seems to ward off any further infections. Dr McCarte always keeps up with you and even though he is a very busy man he always remembers you, making it feel more like a family surgery as opposed to merely a service. If you ever do have dental problems, his empathetic but pragmatic approach is always a huge help. So after my earlier years being fearful of the dentists, I can honestly say that Dr McCarte and his professional staff has eradicated my concerns, making my dental health a lot more manageable with minimal stress. The attitude, work and interest from all staff mark this surgery a cut above others, and each individual is an asset to the health profession.

The last time I had a bad neck, I started off by trying the osteopath, who assured me that he could help: certainly, his words and massage did help me. However, the recovery wasn't quick enough, so I went to a physio. The physio said I had to choose: osteopath (at a fair price per session) or physiotherapy on the NHS. I went for the cheap and, as it turned out, effective, option. However, I had had some signs of improvement in my fortnight at this osteopath, and do believe that his work did some good. It was not madly expensive, compared to other treatments (chiropractic, I am looking at you), and there was a sense of genuine attention, not just bilking the sucker from his cash. If you understand and believe in the process, this is a nice and professional clinic.

One of these said people, has got to be my gran; although she is a big fan of almost any time of alternative medicine, remedy or - well, hell anything. And I reckon this is what it can, in some cases, primarily come down to. If you believe and have faith in alternative medicine and remedies, then they will tend to do the job. All this mind over matter stuff should not be taken too lightly. Therefore, this place is a great option for osteopathic needs, as it's: 1) Clean, tidy and comfortable. 2) Has a good range of opening hours. 3) Is well staffed. 4) The staff are pleasant, personable and extremely knowledgeable. 5) Their prices are pretty reasonable as far as these things go. Though, if you are convinced these treatments will not work then, best not to waste your money proving yourself correct.

He was also always available via phone or email if I had any concerns. If your looking for a physio then I would have no hesitation in recommending Physio Effect.

Dawn is American, great fun, and a damn good chiropractor. I don't go to her very often, but when things get really bad she can usually have me straightened out in under 15 minutes and often in just one session. She doesn't mess about - a quick appraisal of your range of mobility, then it's onto the table for some serious crunching. Almost before you're even aware of what's going on, you suddenly find that you can move much better and things don't seem to hurt as much as when you came in. "It's just simple bio-mechanics," she says. She is fast, efficient, and very effective. Sadly not terribly cheap, but she is very, very good at what she does and is well worth the expense. I know she treats a lot of professional dancers and I hear nothing but praise from them about her, so that's as good an endorsement as you're likely to find.
