Since I moved, this has become my new doctors surgery. I was really reluctant to change (and not…read morethat happy about it) because I really liked my doctor but ah, I had no choice. You can call and make an appointment at any time (I've never had an issue with this) and appointments can only be made up to 2 weeks in advance. Looking at their website, you can now get a username and password from the reception desk to make appointments online (fancy!) and they offer a text appointment reminder service. I was most recently at this surgery on Thursday and I do really like it. As you walk in, you are directly in front of the reception and there is a also a self service check in machine. I checked in and sat in the waiting area. The waiting area is open plan and kind of like in an oval shape with a comfy bench running round. Unlike the old practice I used to attend, the doctors do not come out and call your name. There is a large screen and a loud beep each time a patient's name appears telling you which room to go to. If you have visual problems, the reception staff will let you know. The doctor I was going to see was running late (typical) but I was eventually summoned to room 9. I always get nervous meeting new doctors but he was really nice, friendly and understanding. I have met one of the other male doctors here on a previous visit and he too was great. They really take the time to listen to you and that's something they don't teach at medical school (I'm guessing, haha). I honestly can't rate them highly enough. So far, I'm seriously impressed.

In just yesterday and met another new doctor. It seems as though they get new ones in all the time…read more Fine by me, its tough getting an appointment as it is, its nice to get one within a day or two of calling for once. Situated in the lovely Broomhill area, in an older building, the practice as a whole is pretty warm and welcoming. One of the receptionists can be a bit ornery at times, but if you're nice, so is she. A while back, they updated their check in procedure with a touch screen check in. Welcome to the modern world Broomhill Practice. I'm moving soon, and out of the postcode that they accept as patients. It will be sad to leave, but that's how things work here in Scotland. No walk in medical treatment unless you live in the postcode they cater to. (Hospitals available to anyone)

Meet Stuart, massage therapist and qualified muscle-knowledge bloke. He's gonna kick the absolute bejesus out of you, all whilst explaining better ways to train & stretch to distract me from the fact that sports massage is actually kinda nippy. £40 for an hour, well worth it. The clinic offers a range of other services; if the standard across the board is the same as the massage, I'd heartily recommend.

I've had the misfortune of visiting Achilles heel clinic several times. "Wait, you said misfortune…read moreand give it five stars?!" I hear you cry. But of course....visiting here usually means I'm broken. And the physio now recognises me enough to greet me with 'is this the same problem as last time?' (it's never been the same issue twice...) Anyway, I've never had a problem getting a short notice appointment and the clinic is convenient enough for my work to manage lunchtime appointments although they are open 7 days a week and until 8pm Monday to Thursday. The physio appointment will generally involve a discussion of the issue, an overall biomechanical assessment and investigation of the injury location then a bit of treatment and recommendations for exercises to do. Have found the advice to be very helpful. The clinic also sells a whole bunch of supports/foam rollers/massage ball type things which can be a help in your rehabilitation. Not to be neglected is sports massage - usually I only go when something has tightened up though I believe a general body tune up every now and then is a good idea. 'Tis my location of choice for sporty aches and pains!

I went in recently with an Inquiry, the admin who greeted me said she was the team leader of the…read moreInquiry team, she talked me out of booking an appointment it honestly felt like she did not want me as a patient, and after being greeted by her i was glad that i did not book in with them. I hate talking about people like this but the smell that was coming from her and the attitude that i was greeted with first thing definitely made me never want to be a patient there. This is not the standard that you expect from a private hospital, needless to say i wont be back and I would not recommend it to anyone else. If you are looking for a private hospital please go to Ross Hall.

Have no worries About coming here as i would give it a 100 out of 10. - Linda Wilson

I've been a patient of Clarkston Medical Centre for 7+ years now, and they've recently moved into…read morethis new Health Centre on Drumby Crescent. It actually looks like a small hospital more than GP clinic and takes in quite a few local practices. I booked an appointment with my clinic as usual for a blood test arrived a little bit early seeing as it was my first visit. There's plenty of parking and even though the carpark looked full, there was people constantly coming and going so I was able to get a spot. Inside there's a large foyer area and cafe, and you just need to check the signs for where your GP practice is now located. There's 5 different GP practices and they all operate separately so it isn't really too different from how it was before, just in a more modern building. There's other services too, like podiatry, physiotherapy, children's services, adult mental health services, speech therapy, district nursing, health visiting and social work (taken from the website). On my way out, I popped to the cafe and was impressed by the prices and selection - I got a chocolate crunchie slice and the staff were really friendly. I really like this new building - it's about 5 minutes closer to my house and is really well set up. My only grizzle is that I couldn't get the free wifi to work but that's not the end of the world!
