How can I get better if Dr doesn't listen. Very unhelpful and I'm now going to go to a different practice. I wasn't understood in anyway. It's upsetting, hurtful, I've told my partner not to join this practice,

Inch park Surgery is a friendly practice with efficient, attentive staff…read more Whilst being very busy the staff are aware that each patient is an individual and always try to add a personal touch where appropriate. The surgery itself is modern, light and spacious. The large open plan waiting room is currently being re-decorated which is timely and will be appreciated. The practice offers various clinics (such as a stop-smoking clinic and an asthma clinic) and has a cosy annex with 2 health visitors' rooms, a midwife room, seating area and a toilet / baby changing area.

Appointments are released 2 weeks in advance as well as same day & emergency appointments being available each day if you phone between 8.30am and 9am. The reception staff are friendly & helpful. The waiting room has plenty of comfy chairs & there is a tv & books/magazines available for paitents to read while they are waiting. ~There is a small selection of toys & an activity table for children.

I was *really* impressed with Buchanan Chiropractic - AND I visted here after purchasing a Groupon…read more So often I have found that Groupon deals result in a sub par experience but that was far from the case here. The girl at reception was lovely and friendly and very accomodating when I was booking an appointment, and the facilities were clean and well set-up. The stand out though, was Isla, my masseuse. She took time to go through my form (I'm used to that never being looked at when I've had other massages!) and ask me a few additional questions about my back pain, causes, etc. She was incredibly aware of the back/body/muscles on me as an individual and tailored the massage for my own aches and pains rather than just running through a routine. She practices a number of different types of massage and clearly enjoys what she does, resulting in what sounds like quite a few regulars who she enjoys working with because she enjoys freeing people from their pain and generally making them feel better. I absolutely didn't want my session to end. Deep Tissue is not generally known as being relaxing but she managed to get deep into my muscles without causing pain and making it a wonderful and relaxing experience. She finished by showing me a few stretches which would help to open up my muscles and help to alleviate desk-job related aches and pains. I was so impressed. I've been to a few masseuses and I've never before been so impresed with someone's skill. I definitely plan to return (though, when they're having a sale... it's a bit on the pricey side!).

I am now registered with the Blue Practice here and yes... I will be taking that FTR as well. But…read morebefore we get more specific, let me just start off with: Scotland: you're confusing as frak. And this practice...practices...centre... proves this. Thankfully, if you make it past the two different websites for two different practices that have the same desk and waiting room, you've pretty much conquered the battle. Congratulate yourself. Unfortunately, for this little expat - that battle was a big one to begin with. As a Canadian, I high five the NHS. Like our health care back home, it's a huge relief to know that the majority of my ailments are covered. Plus... you have dental. So you've beat Canada. Good job UK. But the method of registering with a GP as an expat can be highly confusing. There are armfuls of paperwork to bring, you walk into a building that looks nothing like the three seat waiting room of your GP's practice back home and there's different types of appointments to be had... I had the option to book for three weeks away... or an urgent same day appointment and i'm still not sure what the difference is. What I will say for both major practices here is that they are super patient with a confused little expat, especially since they are obviously understaffed at the desk and up to their eyeballs. Both ladies who helped me out on the phone and the the nurse who helped me in person, were efficient but kind in showing me the ropes. There were a lot of ropes. But once I was talked through them, things went pretty smoothly and I was able to navigate registration and then down the line, an appointment. Go team expat! If you live in Stockbridge, you're likely registered here. If you aren't and you need a practice with a quick turnaround on appointments (but only if you ask for the right one...), it's a good option to take a look at. If you're UK born and bred, you can likely skip this whole review. If you just moved here from across the pond - message me and we'll bond over epically confusing website forms.

At my first visit (solely for the purpose of registering) I found the whole process confusing. I…read moresay this because the information provided to me in person and the information provided online are vastly different. So much so that I had to leave, gather more paperwork from my bank (but apparently bank statements aren't accepted?) then return. So at first visit: a frustrating but necessary use of time. Second visit: health check with the nurse. A complete waste of time. I missed an hour of work for my height and weight to be taken. Could this 5 minute visit just be added onto a GP visit? Third visit: actual GP visit. I don't understand why I am allocated a GP if anyone is assigned to see me. Also, soo unimpressed. Being quite unwell, I explained my symptoms and after the generic temperature-blood pressure- light in throat check, I was sent on my way. I was in for all of 5 minutes and felt unheard and unwelcome during the visit, like I needed to move on because the GP was just oh so busy that he couldn't spare the time. Such a disappointment.

I have worked with Family Circle in the past and found them great…read more I worked as a nursery nurse and babysitter. Although you could get better pay elsewhere, it was good experience and a good way to get in to Nursery work. I was offered a job by the first nursery Family Circle sent me to! They always paid on time and any other staff I met from the agency were great girls who clearly loved working with children. I believe they also do a 'home help' type of service for the elderly - a lady on my street uses this and has told me in the past she usually has lovely girls come to help her. Overall I had a very positive experience with Family Circle.

My hubby hurt his knee. He is a cyclist. Bad knee and cycling don't mix and make for one sad…read morehubby. Good wife tries to fix hubby - calls round all her athlete friends for recommendations - one name comes out on top: Guy Van Herp. It was quite easy to get an appointment, so we made our way into the basement rooms of Meadowbank. Very basic surroundings for such a prestigious, experienced Doctor of Physiotherapy but based on the raving recommendations we don't let that put us off. After all - a sports centre is a logical place for a physiotherapist who specialises in sports (working with world class athletes) and there is free parking in a central location. My husband was very nervous so wanted me there the whole time. As soon as we meet Dr. Van Herp we are put at ease. Very kind, friendly and knowledgeable. One of the reasons we choose him was his reputation for making quick, accurate diagnoses. Within minutes we had our answer - torn meniscus - but not too bad, possible to heal with care and determination. Not wanting surgery, my hubby agreed to be a model patient and do everything to the letter. So far we have had 2 appointments which included assessment, stretches, exercises, ultrasound and laser light therapy. the knee is getting better and my husband feels better having a diagnosis and a programme to follow. Dr. Van Herp was excellent at explaining what was wrong, what each part of the programme is going to do and how to execute the plan. It's early days but we feel like we are in very good hands.
