I could be running late which can happen sometimes Happen Lucky that I called up saying that I might be round 5 to 10 minutes late, and then I was told that this has been changed to 5 minutes so if I was over five minutes late I would not be seen Plus, sometimes the receptionist the give you the wrong information and I don't want to mention any names, but they have rude receptionist .. Really upsetting as this is my family Doctors, and now I feel like I just want to move elsewhere to be honest

This is my doctors, and I've managed to stay on their list even though I live in Kirkstall, which…read moreis ace, because I love it here. They have another surgery on Craven Road I think, but this one is closer for me. It's a beautiful Victorian building, all high ceilings and big doors and windows, and there's a car park round the back (off Grove Lane), although it's meant to be for staff and disabled customers only but there's always plenty of space so I park there anyway. There's a nifty new electronic log-in when you arrive which is a bit confusing, but the reception staff are helpful if you need a hand. The practice nurse is hilarious and very good at relaxing you if you're a bit nervous.

After coming down with tonsillitis a second time, I immediately booked an appointment with…read moreKirkstall Lane, to sort the damned thing out. As ever, the reception staff on the phone were lovely, and I was swiftly seen with little waiting time. On this occasion I had a lovely lady doctor, whose bedside manner was the best I've experienced in this practice -she was understanding, patient, caring and explained everything. The appointment took little time, and she quickly prescribed me a stronger, longer course of antibiotics, and gave me some salient advice on whether or not to perform a gig given the condition of my throat. It's never fun having to go to the doctors, but I know I'm in good hands when I come here, as I'm almost always well looked after. Fantastic!

I've always been a little scared of doctors. Although, once I'm actually in there, it's not so bad…read more My experience with kirkstall Medical Practice was around the flu season time, when everyone is convinced they're dying from a throat infection! Registering is simple and takes no time at all. You just need a few personal details which Rowena has set out. I went into the Laurel bank Surgery section of the practice, which was friendly enough when you walk in. A very simple, little doctores surgery, there nothing to dress it up as something it's not, which you do find with some surgeries. If I'm honest, I think Laurel Bank was a little too imposing in terms of decor, especially keeping in mind how nerve-racking a trip can be. My doctor was absolutely fine, obviously my throat infection was not exactly the hardest thing for her to diagnose! One thing I would say is that the waiting room upstairs is very small and cramped, which is not great in terms of being cooked up waiting to be seen. It was also pretty warm when I was there, meaning I was worrying about floating germs.

When I was unfortunate enough to warrant a visit here on an emergency appointment the staff were quick and efficient and very friendly and helpful. I went straight in to see a lovely doctor who was that nice to me that she made me cry! She quickly sussed out my situation and sorted me a prescription out. Even better is that they have a Lloyds pharamacy attached to the side of the building so it's really convenient to go and pick up what ever you need.

I initially signed up here after a year or so of living in Hyde Park. Being somewhat of a…read morehypochondriac I eventually plucked up the courage to find a doctor and go and ask a few of the questions that had been bothering me for a while - they were all silly things that I wanted to put my mind at ease over. So I registered here, which was easy and simple. There was no waiting list, which was excellent since this is a highly populated area. I had my first appointment and everything went really smoothly. I wasn't completely comfortable talking in great depth about my health issues, mostly since I felt they were not altogether major, and I think to some extent one needs to become accustomed to one's new doctor before you start spouting every little problem. Anyway, the doctor I saw was lovely and helpful, very calming and very informative. What more could you want?

Before I moved house recently I was registered at Hyde Park Surgery and never had any problems at…read moreall. I went there a few times to different doctors. Now I am also a bit of a hypochondriac and once got myself into a bit of a worry over something or other, and despite probably thinking I was a bit pathetic the doctor I saw (a woman who I'm afraid I can't remember the name of!) was absolutely lovely and sympathetic and managed to get the perfect balance between objective advice and gentle sympathy...so I didn't feel as stupid as I probably seemed! I also staggered there once rather under-dressed in the cold weather with a severe temperature and generally feeling hideous while I was supposed to be finishing my dissertation in time for the fast-approaching deadline! The doctor I saw then was great and instantly gave me a note stating that I had a 'very serious viral infection' or similarly strong terms which really put my mind at rest when desperately requiring an extention! Overall a generally very positive experience with all doctors I saw.

Especially if, like me, you wait until you are ill to register with a doctor. There is nothing worse than trying to track down vital information about your medical history, when you feel vulnerable and rotten! One Medicare @ The Light is split into two sections, a doctors surgery and a drop-in centre for emergencies. I have visited both, and have always received good and useful advice. Although it is situated right in the centre of town, I have not experienced any problems in booking an appointment. I have also been successful in requesting the attention of a female doctor or nurse, an option which is important to me and which should be offered. The website is useful, giving guidance on how to book an appointment and order a repeat prescription. Finding the surgery is quite a task if you are not familiar with its location. There is an large, wooden door next to the main entrance near Brown's, which leads you through to a lift straight up to the doctors. Failing that there is an entrance inside The Light, on the same level as the Vue cinema, a bizarre journey in. I have completed simpler orienteering courses, and this one is sometimes made twice as arduous due to the paper bag on my head, in the case of any face related medical problems! Although I have only visited One Medicare @ The Light a few times, I have never had any problems with the surgery and would recommend both the doctors and the drop-in centre.
