It's really easy to register - you complete 3 forms which you can either collect in the surgery or print from the website. You do have to live in either G3, G11 or G12 postcodes to register. There are advance and on the day appointments available as well as telephone consultations. I've only ever met Dr MacLaren and have always received an excellent and efficient service. This practice offers a really wide range of services including online patient access to repeat prescriptions, online cancellations and the ability to update your personal information. I love a technologically advanced public service! Everything is available here from travel health advice and services, house calls, stop smoking and children's health services. I love the prescription collection service where you can collect repeat prescriptions directly from the dinky wee Boots along the road. I've never really had cause to rave about a GP practice before but this one is truly fantastic!

This is the worst place you can accidentally run into someone you haven't seen in a while…read more It's essentially a sexual and reproductive clinic who also do family planning. For the most part, it is full of young students who are worried about STI's. Appointments need to made well in advance or else there is a drop in from 8.30am. The wait can be unbearable, but once you get taken the staff are respectful and understanding and everything is confidential. A great service. Totally free as well.

Appointments can be made to allow you to go out with office hours which is useful for those nine-to-fivers. However, this is a popular option and may well mean waiting for up to an hour and a half after your allotted time. Thus, the other option of attending the drop-in clinic hours is possibly preferable for those of us who can get up at early bells and not need to be anywhere until lunchtime that day. While the drop-in times run from 8.30am-3pm (most days anyway). It is advisable to turn up as close to the 8.30am end as possible. It's also worth noting that a lot of the time you can also get away with turning up earlier than the above stated time. The service and advice offered is first rate. As well as getting a free sexual health check up, the clinic offers free treatment, counselling and a anonymously-notify-ex-partners service too. Meanwhile, you can also receive free methods of contraception (including the pill) as well as family planning information and treatments. It's also worth noting that you can decide whether or not they can share your test results with your doctor as well as where (and how) it is appropriate for them to contact you.

I've recently changed GPs due to a move and so far this one is pretty great. I haven't had any long…read morewaiting times for appointments and the all the staff that I've interacted with so have been really helpful. I had a bit of trouble getting signed up. They wanted so many forms to be filled in and a photo ID and a recent bill to prove I was who I said I was. I thought that was a bit strange - I'm sure I didn't need so much last time I signed up for a GP. I'm also not crazy about their appointment booking system: They prefer you need to either ring them at 08:30 on the day you want an appointment, rather than booking one in advance. They say this is because more people fail to show up for appointments booked in advance but to me that seems a bit presumptive. I feel like on-the-day appointments are really for emergencies. That said I've never had any trouble actually getting an appointment and once you've got one everything runs pretty smoothly. The surgery itself has plenty of comfy seating and asks visitors to avoid using mobile phones, which is fair enough. Hopefully I won't have too much cause to visit regularly but I'm confident that if I do I will be treated very well.

I went in for treatment for a trapped nerve in my arm. After three treatments with needles, plus…read moremassage with a special oil blend, the problem was totally sorted out. Treatments were weekly over three weeks. After an initial consultation, I was taken to a treatment room. I hopped up on the treatment table and relaxed while the needles were placed in my arm, neck and back. A heat lamp was placed nearby, and the doctor came in to adjust the needles a few times over about 40 minutes. The needles were then removed, and a quick massage with a glass cup or plastic tool was done with an oil that smelled like Wintogreen Lifesavers. The needles don't hurt, but the massage was a bit painful. It's over quickly and I felt much better after. It's been over a month since my last treatment and it's still fine - no pain in my arm or fingers. Highly recommend!

If you're a student at Glasgow University, then this place is a god-send when you fall ill and…read moresheepishly remember you haven't got round to registering with a doctor. Convieniently located in the heart of campus, this place came to my rescue a couple of times over the past few years when I was too ill to make it to my registered doctors up in Maryhill. The reception staff are friendly, and the doctors even friendlier- which is what you want and need when feeling low. I've been able to get an emergency appointment before, and more recently a lovely nurse took out some stictches for me. It can take a couple of days to get an appointment but if you think it's serious they'll try and squeeze you in.

According to a guy named Dr Hamiton at the University Health Service, neither was the case, but in the ensuing years I'd visit him on the regular occasions that my sanity appeared to be hanging by a thread. The calm, witty and mentor-like chats I had with the aforementioned Dr sorted me out every time. I respect very few people in this world, but even a few years on, the old doc is still up there at the top of my estimations. And I felt a bit like Tony Soprano sitting across from him. You can't really ask for more.

With a clean and nicely decorated reception ( as far as reception areas go!), friendly and helpful staff and a great bunch of family doctors, i cant really say much more to be honest. Having had a few dodgy and pretty grumpy doctors in my time i find it refreshing to finally find somewhere that you don't actually mind going to. Oh, wait a minute, one complaint form me. Yelpers of the male variety all over the world will confirm this one complaint that i'm about to make. Why oh why is there never any bloody male orientated magazines in these waiting rooms. just a little something with cars or football or, i don't know shelves, hammers.....just something that's not about celebrity gossip, 101 make over treats and 10 things you didn't know about goats milk......

The clinical staff iare indeed first class…read more However, the admin., staff are dreadful. They are confrontational to the extent they are aggressive, especially when patients know and quote their rights. Patients do have to quote their rights because the procedures the admin., staff quote do not complement our N.H.S., rights and surgeries responsibilities to the N.H.S., and indeed patients. There is no point complaining to the practice. The practice manager ignores telephone messages and visits. When you prompt her reply via correspondence to the partner G.P., she will simply tell you to go elsewhere. There is not much in the way of confidentiality at the front desk. The receptionists discuss triage with each other at the front desk for all to hear. I can tell you several patients names and health problems they have because I have heard such discussions. Of course you must select a G.P., based on their clinical ability and not their admin., staff's ability. However, before signing up be aware it is likely you will have to complain about the support staff. I doubt you will ever have to complain about the G.P.s; I have consulted every one and they are all been attentive, deliberate and correct. One other thing. The prescription service is awful and will be an issue. Kelvin Medical Centre are very selective about the N.H.S., prescription services they provide. P.s., had one experience with the nurse that was deeply unfavourable. In the end I had to insist she was supervised by a G.P., in carrying out the most basic of procedures, a procedure that auxiliaries carryout in hospital. A.

I usually prefer going to an osteopath when I have back problems as I find the process more gentle,…read morebut when my regular osteo moved out of town I discovered Dawn Blaser. 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.

I'm sorta doing this review on behalf of my boyfriend and fellow Yelp partner in crime. Yeah,…read morethat's right, Mr B - I'm stealing the first review, bitch! The Berkeley Clinic specialises in cosmetic dentistry and cosmetic treatments such as Botox. For teeth, they seem very clued up and professional. Their dentists are very prestigious and have won awards, including Young Dentist of the Year. The Clinic couldn't really be described as a surgery - it's clean, more like a salon. It's very progressive, and the Clinic has brought new teeth repairing techniques to Glasgow, such as 6 week orthodontics and safe ways of removing mercury amalgam fillings. They do this in a very secure setting, and make sure that the patient doesn't inadvertantly breathe in the fumes of their old mercuy filling. In the long term, it keeps your mouth clean and safe. They seem very quick and apt at getting to the source of your oral problems, seeing that the patient is kept in the know at all times on what treatment is best for them. It's very personal, and their non evasive way of scanning teeth and projecting the results to the patient quickens lengthy, archaic procedures of taking moulds. They also have panic buttons on the side of their chairs so if you are geting a filling or feel uncomfortable in any way, you can stop treatment immediately by turning off the equipment. This gives the patient a feeling of control, which is the idea behind why they put such techniques in place. They run an anxiety workshop to help alleviate your fears even further. Crowns, veneers and bridges are costly, but the lasting effects seem aboslutely excellent. The dentists work alongside the guys who do shows such as Extreme Makeover, so as far as cosmetic dentistry goes they are great at bringing the magic. Overall, the Berkeley Clinic's consultations and procedures take you out of the chair and into modern dentistry. My boyfriend received a goodie bag that looked like he'd been away a spa weekend, and his dentist is giving him a diet program to help keep future tooth decay at bay. They are equally as good at helping the patient realise why their teeth are a certain way, and giving them control over fixing the problem. I have a really bad snaggle tooth and know what it's like to have a smile that I'm a wee bit embarrassed of. I would give an arm and aleg to get my teeth fixed in here, because as the Clinic outline they know that adults can feel socially insecure if they aren't proud of their teeth. The professionals here encourage good habits and offer great techniques which can give you a Hollywood smile years before braces can. When I have more money, I'll stop by the Clinic and swap my fang for some sparkly gnashers, and it'll be a good day!
