The reception and admin staff are polite and courteous, making efforts to accommodate your appointment and work around your schedule, often calling you back if a more convenient slot becomes available. They are very professional and maintain patient confidentiality, and speak about patients respectfully when talking to each other (which I have seen reception staff fail to do in so many other practices). The waiting rooms are clean and comfortable, displaying useful information and calling you to the surgery rooms via a large screen. There is even an electronic check-in desk where you can sign in for your appointment when the reception desk is very busy. All of the doctors and practice nurses I have seen have been professional and caring, and I would recommend this surgery to anyone living in the catchment area.

Bodey Medical Centre is clean, sleek and looks all shiny and new. So there are the usual waiting times, the hanging around, the boredom, but both my experiences here have made up for any bureaucratic annoyances. Basically, twice I have visited Bodey, twice for unpleasant things which are necessary to female health and well-being, and twice I have been impressed. My first appointment was with a female doc, second with a nurse. Both women were calm, friendly and most comforting, and both the nicest people ever to venture quite so intimately about my person apart from the obvious. My first appointment led to a hospital consultation which was handled quickly and efficiently - she said my appointment letter may take up to two weeks to arrive but it appeared in less than one. Similar story with nursey, who said results might take around three weeks but reached my letterbox in a few days. Bodey, seriously! Trinity Medical what-now? Call me fickle but my affections are totes transferred.

Once all the panicking has subsided by my Mother certainly not Dr. Capper, a calming comment of "I'll follow up on Thursday to see how we are progressing", is enough to let you know your being cared for by professionals who truly care. Thank you for attending today an excellent response to my initially morning email, I received an initial phone call from Dr. Capper who then attended early afternoon, I then received a confirmation text from Dr. Capper reporting the prescription had been sent to Pharmacykwik, a quick call to Muckram who also provides a spectacular service he assured me Mum would have her prescription later today. Now who couldn't fail to agree the team at Urban village along with the support of our Pharmacies are delivery a truly awe-inspiring service. Thank you again for supporting my Mother and I.

I felt very special, desk at 9 am and she was super busy, she also said goodbye to another gentleman. I was also greeted by Matt who was walking past, he is super impressive and always says hi for a few seconds. I love the ease of contacting via forms, I know Dr. Greenlaw was very busy today but within filling out the form, she saw me face to face at 9 30 am. I wish all the other surgeries would follow this surgery examples. I get an amazing care and treatment here.

Chester Road surgery is located on Chester Road in Stretford and has a branch surgery in Mitford…read moreStreet Clinic a stone's throw away from Stretford Mall. The catchment area covers the Stretford M32 area so those wishing to register must live in this area. This surgery was extended a few years ago and refurbished to a high standard. There are four resident Gp's and three practice nurses. There is also a team of district nurses attached to the practice who attend the housebound, terminally ill and the elderly. A community midwife is linked to Chester Road Surgery and she provides pre and post natal care. The practice nurses run smoking cessation classes, weight control sessions and perform cervical smears (don't forget to keep up to date with these!), immunisations and vaccinations and they see patients for a variety of other reasons. Opening hours are Monday 8am-8pm, Tuesday to Friday 8am -6.30pm. This is a competently run local service with wheelchair access and toilets suitable for the disabled.

I consider myself extremely lucky not only to have my doctor's surgery so nearby it's almost the…read moresame building as my apartment block, but this doctor's surgery. I'd travel to it. Located adjacent to the Angel Centre, a place so lovely and charitable you feel better about humanity just walking past, Trinity Medical Centre has a good vibe to it from the get-go. The staff here bend over backwards for you and make you feel safe and comfortable. An example is when I realised I'd run out of something, I called in to get my blood pressure taken for a repeat prescription and although they were mega busy, when I explained the situation and said I needed it for tonight, the receptionist said, 'Ooh, you are cutting it fine aren't you!' and managed to squeeze me in with a nurse. However this meant that the prescription was only an emergency one and some pharmacies wouldn't accept it - not only did the receptionist know of a pharmacy that probably would, she rang them up, checked, and when they confirmed she told them to expect me in about an hour. She was doing her job and then some. The nurses here are spot on. When I went for my first smear, a well-known uncomfortable experience at best, the gentle, calm lady with a terrific sense of humour talked me through every single step of it and told me what to expect. As a result, I don't fear my next one. She was both professional and reassuring. She even talked me through what would happen to my sample and how they'd analyse it, with medical knowledge and enthusiasm, a winning combo. Trinity Medical Centre exudes an aura of tranquillity. Even if you're stressed out you'll soon be put at ease. When I returned from France having been in hospital there for a knee operation, my mother was obviously somewhat frantic about getting my aftercare and physiotherapy sorted. Again, the superb receptionist (Paula) sorted it all out. We were worried about the French medical notes, she said they have translators at the hospital as 'this sort of thing happens all the time'. She rang the orthopaedic ward at Hope Hospital on our behalf and bagged us an appointment for literally the next morning (this was done the day I'd flown back from France). With the sheer amount of students that descend on Salford every year, any that need to visit a doctor regularly for prescriptions should register with this local one. I did, and I still use it to this day. Heck, even if I move I'd probably jump back up here for appointments, I trust it that much.

The Docs in Manchester is one of the few GP surgeries in the city centre, located on Bloom Street…read more Due to ongoing issues with my current GP surgery, I planned to relocate hopefully to one of the surgeries in Manchester city centre, with one of them I had under consideration being The Docs. I was upset with the service: I found the staff to be rather rude, unhelpful and uncooperative which made me have second thoughts about joining the practice - which again shows not much has changed in that regard since this place was last reviewed, stunningly that was over nine years ago. The building its-self opened in the mid-1990s from the outside, you truly couldn't tell it was a doctor even though the name states so, it looks more like an old converted pub compared to everything and isn't too modern either. I find the opening hours of the practice restrictive, they do only have 3 doctors and 2 trainees which is rather small, especially for a GP surgery in a central location. They aren't open on weekends, and although this is sadly common for an NHS GP surgery, the fact they only seem to be open until 1:30 on a Thursday is pretty ridiculous. If I had to sum up The Docs, Manchester in three words I'd say lazy, unprofessional and poor from the service to the building, the website to the process of signing up new patients (it made me want to leave before I'd even signed the paperwork to sign up which I didn't do in the end), it's just a pretty ridiculous mess. 1*

The pain of the doctor, literally. Registering was a pain, the lengthy forms about who you are and…read morethe rest but also an alcohol and smoking survey which then they use to judge you on. Unfair. The Docs is a city centre doctor's surgery which I'm glad of at that. But getting an appointment here seems to be a nightmare, mainly because of the receptionist. She is not the helpful of them all considering she works at a doctor's surgery. What did we ever do to you? Me and my flatmate agree we just hate ringing up or going if we're going to get her. But well what to do. Medical staff are otherwise thorough and professional and the surgery itself seems very capable of diagnosing and curing the best of us all. There's a lot of literature and free things and advice lying around and pointing you to. Competent but slightly unfriendly.

I was referred to a GP by a dermatologist at the local hospital. She advised me to pick a GP near to my house and go there until I found one that was taking on new patients. In hindsight, this wouldn't have been the Oswald Medical Practice. The Doctor I saw was friendly enough but seemed quite incompetent and for some reason I didn't trust a word he was saying. He told me to come back the next week to pick up my prescription. I went back on the day he had told me, only to be told that the Doctor no longer worked at the surgery, they had no prescription, none of the records that had been faxed by the hospital, no record of my appointment and couldn't help me any further... thank you and goodbye. Although I could tell that the receptionist was inconvenienced by my presence, I couldn't leave it at that. After some persuasion from myself she agreed to go and check with 'the lady upstairs' to see if there was anything she could do. 'Computer says no,' was basically her answer, and as I finally gave up and decided to leave this joke of an establishment she told me not to bother coming back. I swiftly registered with Chorlton Health Centre around the corner. To this day even walking past this medical centre makes me shudder.

However, when my Dad had his operation cancelled, TWICE, THE DAY BEFORE, enough was enough and he went private. Being admitted to The Spire was like checking into a four star hotel. No queues, no waiting time, no stressed out nurses and sleep deprived junior doctors, No busy wards with dubious bed neighbours telling you all about their prolapsed piles, no, no, no, The Spire is private darling and that would never do!! It had free parking, a lovely, friendly receptionist and pleasant waiting area which we were in for almost a minute before a porter came to fetch dad and introduce him to his room. Quite honestly, having had no experience of private hospitals before, the room was not quite as elaborate as I expected. Maybe the chaise longue and swags and tails curtains in my imagination were a bit farfetched. The Spire's bedroom looked like a nice Premier Travel Inn with a TV and a lovely white en-suite bathroom. I suppose I was regarding the whole situation from the wrong perspective. The Spire is not about the decor, it is about providing excellent quality individual care in an environment where a patient can choose their own consultant, experience tremendous facilities and have their ailments addressed promptly. Actually, it was well posh! Dad had to choose from a menu of full English or Continental breakfast, a typical dinner was chicken and sweetcorn soup and prawn salad- he didn't want to leave!. All the staff were so friendly and there were no visiting restrictions. Dad was more than amused to realise that most of the patients were there for cosmetic surgery and I must say that I did have a look at what procedures are performed there ( boobs, nose job, lipo, tummy tuck, eyelid surgery and bingo wings...... I was just curious). Great hospital, lovely staff and dad received the treatment he deserved.
