What's the greatest value in having a personal GP? From experience, I can tell you having someone who has your complete health history on file. Who can tell you what you weighed five years ago, what your blood pressure was back then, compare it to today, and give you a rather accurate assessment of how you're aging to help you tweak your physiology to rack-up a few extra years before you blow out the candles for good. Now, sometimes you don't feel like seeing the same GP for whatever reason, but if you could see GPs who are not just doctors but become friends as well, wouldn't that make it easier? The answer is simply "yes!" What I like about Walton Bridge Medical Centre is the casual atmosphere of the place, the professionalism of the staff and GPs, with doctors who are down-to-earth and who will tell you what to do, without ramming it down your throat. After all, once you leave the building whether you follow their advice or not is purely your call! Walton Bridge is also open weekends too which makes it even more convenient and there's a Blooms pharmacy right next door if you need to buy anything over-the-counter to help you cure a cold, fight a fever, or just feel better from whatever is ailing you. Once seated you won't be waiting hours until you're seen, and can while away the time with a pile of mandatory waiting room magazines, many of which were even published in 2011. Here's to your health! read more
