My daughter went in for asthma attack to get a breathing treatment. The Dr didn't know what to do with her asthma as they don't have asthma treatment. They did check her for all of the airborne viruses which is good. He did give her new inhaler since her inhaler isn't helping her. They checked her breathing and she failed it twice so it's kinda of scary how they let her go with her lungs aren't working that good cuz of the asthma. he gave her steroid pills for four days. They don't let anyone go back with the patient except if you are bleeding I guess. As my daughter told me there was a guy bleeding from his knees , left arm and his head. She said they only covered his legs with a sheet but his head was still bleeding all over his face. But his family were in the back with him. The staff are super nice honestly so I have no issues with them. It's the free medical system that isn't good! Overall yes go there if you need to see a dr night or weekend. No don't go there if it's during the days of the weekdays. Like there is a lot of private Dr's that you can see if you want to get checked for normal things.

This place provides a vital service in eye-care which I rate highly but my review is based on the…read morebuilding mainly and how dated and run down it has become. The interior of this building is literally stuck in the 80's that I'm surprised the lifts still work. It's quite shocking to me that it has been left and been neglected for so long to be in such a sad state, I really hope things change and gets a major refurbishment.

The Eye Pavillion is a slightly strange place to review, simply because, obviously, the only reason…read moreyou're likely to come here is if you have a problem with your eyes, in which case you won't have much choice in the matter and are unlikely to be persuaded or dissuaded by a Yelp review! And, if your eyes are healthy, no matter how much I rave about this place, I'm not sure you'll really be inclined to pay it a visit. Anyway, here I am reviewing it regardless. My eyes are a bit dodgy, so I have to come here about twice a year, and while it's very fashionable to complain about the NHS, I've actually always been pretty impressed, as they're efficient and friendly here, I have a nice doctor, and, because it's a specialist hospital, there isn't quite the same overpowering atmosphere of dying and depression here that is in other medical institutions. My only complaint concerns the name, which I think implies some sort of gracious, royally-endowed pagoda-like building, perhaps with some peacocks outside, or at the very least some bunting. The Eye Pavillion is nothing like this at all. It's an ugly structure made out of concrete. Perhaps the people who built it assumed that everyone who came here would be too blind to notice.

Recently visited Spire as part of a surgery round Edinburgh itson/groupon deal…read more I would recommend getting the knee arthroscopy with the additional side of physiotherapy as a dessert course. I found the servers helpful and the back of house team clearly very good with the butchery skills. As much as I would like to have private health care I was here only due the NHS buying up excess capacity. Lovely room with a table for one looking out of well manicured gardens. Rabbits abounded and I saw some birds mating. For my lunch course I had soup with a panini. Being Scottish when selecting my menu choices I ticked all the boxes in the hope they would provide me with more than one meal. Unfortunately I was informed that one could only have either a panini OR the poached salmon course. Sadly I went with the panini but after consumption I would not recommend it. The taste was chemical and washed out but I am not sure if there might have been a correlation with just waking up from a medically induced coma. Overall 4 stars. TOP TIP - take your own slippers with you and a robe. Although I was provided with a flattering gown - (on the house I may add!) the robe and slippers they gave me would have been more suited to a diminutive woman. I think I flashed quite a lot of leg and heel.

Lauriston Buildings has a wide range of healthcare departments such as Ear, nose and throat,…read moreaudiology, dermatology, dental services and orthopaedics. I regularly visit the audiology department for hearing aid repairs and batteries and the staff are always so friendly and provide a quick and thorough service, J. JaKobs is wonderful. The X-ray and ultrasound department however I feel the staff could be a bit friendlier and more helpful. I visited recently and my impression of the consultant was that she wanted you in, don't ask questions and get out, so I definitely thought she needed to work on her bedside manner. The cafe was a bit dire too, not much on offer, nothing that looked extremely appetising and hot drinks came in polystyrene cups which in this day and age is extremely basic. The staff (a man and a woman) although good at their jobs, friendly, polite and hardworking, it seemed they were both trying to compete to see who could do the most jobs, who could do them better, who was in charge. So although Lauriston Buildings offer a great service and most staff members are polite and friendly, the building itself and the cafe needs updated and modernised.

Ask any Edinburgh parent about the Sick Kids and you'll probably get a broadly similar response…read more It's an amazing resource for the city and a reminder that free access to healthcare professionals who really care is something for which we should be extremely grateful. I recently had to take my son in with an inexplicably (very) painful knee. The staff were unstintingly kind and turned what could have been quite a traumatic experience into something that bordered on fun ("I love having my bloods taken out"). We're not just talking toys in the waiting room - there was an 'art cart' loaded with fancy pens, stencils and bits to colour in and take home. Communication was superb, with both me and with Sam - he was never excluded or talked down to. He likes to know what's going on and I'm confident that the fact they involved him so much made the tests more bearable. Even beyond the treatment, staff members passing us in the waiting area often stopped to ask how we were doing and have a quick chat. The staff were extremely thorough, gave him loads of time and didn't diagnose him until they were confident they'd ruled out the more serious possibilities in several appointments over the course of a week. Obviously I hope we don't have too many return visits, but I'm confident that if we are ever back we'll get brilliant, personal care in a really sensitive, child-focused environment.
