There is an adjoining pharmacy and a good range of specialised support people and sessions. The only downside is the parking which is inadequate for a practice as busy as this. It would be unfair to finish without mentioning that the receptionist on my last visit was pleasant and helpful and had a large supply of patience (not your typical doctors receptionist at all)

In my experience when you go to the walk-in clinic the receptionist rudely tells you what you can and cannot go to the clinic for. When you do see a doctor at this practice they are often rushed and do not want to spend too much time with you, and one of the doctors (female) has googled my symptoms every time I have seen her.

Surgery is busy and is also closed on a Thursday they do close late though each weekday they are open at 7. The services with the GPs though have been nothing but fantastic.

Since when has a visit to the doctor been something you enjoy?…read moreStill, if to the doctor you must go then it may as well be somewhere pleasant and this seems ok to me. Set aside the receptionist, not because they are unimportant but because doctor's receptionists seem to be universally obstructive, it's part of the training and I'm not about to knock stars off just because the receptionists are well trained and besides, they have one of those nifty touch screen thingies to check in so you don't have to talk to the receptionist much ;) The waiting area here is pleasant (as waiting areas go) and there are magazines (surprise, surprise) and an info-monitor. Getting down to the important stuff though, the doctors here are, in the main, pleasant and skilled (I have felt personally valued and supported and owe a massive debt of gratitude for the early diagnosis of a serious illness within my family)

It's like a social event when I go now - everyone's so friendly.

If you are ever in need of a doctors surgery in Leeds then Craven Road Medical Centre is just one…read moreof the many options. When registering with doctors in Leeds there is a system like some Primary Schools which concern your catchment area. Basically, if you live within a certain radius of the establishment then you can register here, if not there will be another that is nearer to you. It makes sense but is a little annoying if you are still moving house every year with the tide of students in the area, as you may have to switch doctors. The actual surgery itself is very comfortable to visit. It has a wide and spacious waiting room that doesn't smell of ill people (sometimes more crammed ones actually do, honestly) and some very sweet and helpful receptionists. It is generally not a very long wait to get an appointment and in an emergency they will happily look through for any cancellations, or other ways of suiting your needs to make you all better. Once registered, you can also obtain a username and password for online appointment booking or ordering repeat prescriptions. Just ask at the desk and see their website.

The Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) is a huge, sprawling hospital in the centre of Leeds and you'd be…read morewell advised to research exactly where in the hospital your appointment is before you arrive. It can easily end up being a long walk across town to find the right ward if you get it wrong. In spite of its large and sprawling nature the hospital is efficient. Waiting times are short and staff are attentive. Obviously, no one ever really wants to g to a hospital but if you do have to go to one you'd rather go to a nice, efficient one and "nice and efficient" describes the LGI well. As hospitals go it's not an awful place to be either. The wards and general areas are decorated nicely and there's art here and there. There's a Costa Coffee within the hospital as well as a gift shop and a roof top garden. The first version of the hospital was opened in 1771 by graduates of the University of Edinburgh Medical School but the current version opened in 1869 and has gone through several refurbishments, upgrades and expansions since. Much of the layout plans of the hospital were based on recommendations by Florence Nightingale. So, I would absolutely avoid ever coming here but only because it's a hospital and I would absolutely avoid ever going to any of them. If you have to be in a hospital the LGI is just fine. Besides, I was born here, so it gets extra points for that.

Get your appointment location wrong and you may be lost forever! Honestly, there are times when…read moreI've been sorely tempted to catch a bus to another part of the hospital. As with many large hospitals in big cities LGI has been remodelled and added to over the years with the result that there are carbuncles on the structure that even their best surgeon couldn't remove and lots of unexpected and seemingly pointless changes of level in order to get to your destination. Travelling through LGI is a real exercise in 4 dimensional travel. There are always going to be stories of horror, joy and grief in any hospital but my personal experience has been of rather inept management and administration coupled with caring, dedicated staff (in most areas) who do the best they can with more and more limited funding. It remains a personal bugbear that hospitals such as LGI now resemble shopping malls in places (with the exception of affordable, accessible parking). Oh for the days when you could grab reasonable refreshment from a basic but clean cafeteria run by volunteers.

I've been going to this GP surgery since I can remember and they've never let me down…read more The efficient staff on the desk have never mixed up or double booked one of my appointments, the waiting area has enough reading material to sink a ship, and you usually get in to see your doctor at around the time you've booked for. My GP is a hugely experienced fellow, but when he's not there and I have to see someone else, I feel in equally capable hands, and they've looked after me on numerous occasions. They even allow emergency appointments - just ring first thing in the morning and they'll fit you in on the same day somehow.

OK, the reason why I have chosen to give this practice 3 stars is because up until about 2 years…read moreago, they were awesome and for that I have to give them some credit. Always helpful, efficient, understanding e.t.c. Then things started to go titanic. First of all, one of the receptionists discussed OVER THE PHONE what I had said to my doctor, with my mum. The simple truth is that they didn't know who was on the phone. It could have been anyone, and I didn't think that they were supposed to disclose info like that without your permission. Then they put the icing on the cake a few months later, when I suffered a grand mal epileptic convulsion in their waiting area. From my understanding, they pinned me down while I was having the convulsion (which for the record is something you must NEVER do) and then afterward, let me walk out of the surgery not knowing who I was or what I was doing. All I knew was that one minute I was in the surgery and then I was in the middle of the main road that runs nearby. Even my neurologist was boggled at this when I explained it to him. When I returned for another appointment, the doctor I saw made fun and when a complaint was made by my mum regarding their conduct, the doctor she spoke to managed to make her feel bad about me having a seizure in front of all the other patients. Deeply unimpressed. Since I switched my doctor at the practice about 6 months ago I have not had any further problems. If none of this had happened, I would have actually been inclined to give 5 stars. Pity.

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.
