I have asked multiple times where my records are which were transferred from London and have had no response.

Totally rubbish service and a disgrace to the NHS.

I am so so furious with this place and wouldnt recommend that went here ever. My husband nearly…read moredied going there - he collapsed leaving the surgery after them taking blood and he was left lying on the street outside - he managed to stagger home covered in blood from his fall - and then went into seizure - and I had to call 999 for an ambulance as he had near heart failure - something not picked up at all by the doctor he had just visited. So emergency operation to fit a pacemaker. But that was put in wrong and it went all infected - my husband knew something was wrong with it - and went to the doctor here and they didnt even look at his chest or pacemaker - just gave him some painkillers and sent him home - again I had to check on the internet and found that the pacemaker was probably being rejected and again had to go into emergency again as doctor completely failed to even examine the patient - just issued a prescription of painkillers... honestly shockingly poor service - he is there now for the last time and I am insisting he changes his doctor tomorrow morning and NEVER EVER EVER RETURNS HERE - he has at the age of 65 waited nearly two hours and as I type still not seen - I am unable to phone the receptionist as they are not picking up the phone - so now my 65 year old husband faces a journey home in the dark through a park in gales - I am really really angry... you would have to be mad to go here - I have a doctor where you are seen in 30 - 40 minutes. I can imagine the diagnosis here - a packet of paracetamol - as they gave him for his heart pacemaker rejection.... one doctor on duty - not the regular one doctor some stand in... hardly adequate - but I am putting my foot down - my husband is not going back here ever.... dont understand how the other people rate this place as good - but I nearly very time my husband goes there as I never know if he is actually going to survive the experience - shocking place, shocking service - it should be shut down! - if you value your health find somewhere else - this review is not just about a coffee shop where you might have a nice cup of tea and a cake - but a warning to anyone thinking of going here - GO SOMEWHERE ELSE - THEY ARE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH IN HERE... I wouldnt let them examine my goldfish... and my husband is changing first thing tomorrow.... that is it - I will be doing all the paperwork... incompetence and poor service does not sum this place up...

It is apparently possible to make an appointment for two weeks away, by which time you are probable better or dead. I've no idea how good the doctors are as I can't see one to form an opinion.

You might remember this West End Clinic to be on Station Street in Edinburgh and the offices to be…read morefound in an old Georgian building. The interior was cozy enough, but definitely needed an overhaul in regards to equipment and a sterile impression. I'm happy to say that the offices now have moved to a new location opposite the road into a very modern building, specifically designed and built for the purpose of being a practical environment to serve it's client base. ALL equipment and interior is new. What I like about the place is the space. The waiting room is massive, airy and bright , compared to others I saw and the receptionists are very friendly, in person and on the phone. You also have the self service check in option. The toilets and facilities appear to very clean. In the beginning you needed to make an appointment in advance and most likely you had to call early in the morning, so that they could allocate a free spot to you. Nowadays, they introduced a walk in option in the morning, which runs from 8-10 am. You should arrive before 10 and check in. A doctor will be allocated to you. I believe that there are about 5 main partners/ doctors and a few nurses who help and take appointments for minor inconveniences. A community psychiatric nurse is also available, as well as Family Planning, community midwife and Phlebotomists. Consultation is by Appointment: 7.30-8.30 Wed &Fri. 8.30-11.00 and 2.30-5.30. House calls are possible, but shall be avoided. They take on new patients, who live within their postcode area. Appointments are about 10min long. The location is near to Haymarket!

This NHS surgery has changed a lot over the years, and it moved to this location almost 2 years…read moreago. The practice consists of 5 reletively young GP's and runs numerous health clinics; diabetes, hypertension, well woman, cervical screening and asthma. They have a great repeat prescription service which allows you to fill out a form online and even specify the chemist that you want to collect your drugs from. It does now also have a commercial side which provides health services for travellers. Free to NHS are vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Diptheria, Tetnus and Polio. All other services have fees payable for services from the Adventure Tourism Travel Health Clinic. Fees are payable for Hepatitus B, Meningitis and MMR vaccines.

It's obvious that they as well as other practices are very busy, that is inevitable and…read moreunderstandable. The receptionists I have spoken to really try to do the best with the resources and time they have. I have been registered with them since the beginning of the year, I am yet to be able to see a GP face to face. The problem I've had is during this time I have tried to impress the seriousness of the disabilities I have which require multiple daily very strong medications and referrals for surgeries and specialists. This in itself has been an absolute nightmare. The only consistent thing has been inconsistancy. This year while registered with the practice I went through a complicated pregnancy and preterm birth. During this time essential medications were stopped, started, doses changed- you name it- quite often with little to no communication, resulting in physical and mental health crises, and going through withdrawal multiple times whe pregnant. The one phonecall appointment I had left me in tears after essentually being called a drug seeker, and how I was putting my baby at risk for taking essential mental health medications. I genuinely put no blame on the service as a whole because I know how stretched the NHS is, I know they work their hardest and they are as stressed as we as patients are, but when you are in such a vulnerable position this is the type of things that can tip you over the edge.

They only take phone appointments at 8am, which anyone with children will know is one of the busiest times of the day trying to get the dressed and out of the door. I really don't like giving staff who are not medically trained, details of my probems. I even begged the receptionist to make me an appointment for the following week, but the receptionist just said "oh well, there is nothing I can do" when i explained the earliest I can call after drop off at about 8.40am each day. They have no care or empathy at all. It makes me wonder what the reception staff do after 8am apart from be objectionable for the rest of the day. Tolcross Medical centre, Braids and Buckstone are a much better medical practice as they allow parents to either walk in, make an appointment online or dont have a daft rule about only giving appointments out at 8am. The reception staff are just rude and un-caring.

The nurse who saw to me this afternoon was nothing but rude and patronizing from the moment i sat down. Baring in mind - it takes a lot for people to pluck the courage to go to the doctors. Very disappointed and upset at how i was treated. She was rude about why i had booked a blood test - i said this was due to feeling tired - i was then told i was not getting a blood test and why had i not spoke to a doctor about this. There is no winning - i was trying to be helpful by not bothering the doctor. When i had booked these initial appointments i had told the girl on the phone what they were for - if there was an issue this should have been addressed when i booked the appointment. I had also told the girl that i have moved address, and that i would be registering at another doctor after this appointment - she said this was no problem, however when the nurse saw me i got a 5 minute lecture about this, and again this was done in a patronizing tone. I am a 26 year old girl who was already nervous about these appointments - i shouldn't have to walk out of the doctor surgery crying at how i was treated.
