Merrylee Medical Centre glasgow

Having had joint problems and pain since I was 14, I went to this doctors practice. They gave me a blood test and when nothing came up I was told "If it doesn't come up on your blood tests, it's nothing serious." So I tried to trust in that decision. Until I felt I had to go back, same test, different excuse. "Everyone clicks. You probably just know someone with arthritis and you're just worried about it." So after 3 years of getting nowhere, I just gave up. I didn't talk about my pain or other symptoms and problems that had began to pop up. I have done my best to just ignore it. I haven't been to the doctors in 3 years now. Not for anything. I don't want to go near it and I don't want to see any of the doctors faces. I'm angry and upset with how they handled the situation. They had even promised to send me to a rheumatologist, but it never happened. And I've been left feeling like I'm going crazy because "There must be nothing wrong." But my joints click, grind and pop in and out of place and I've even began to feel numbness in my hands (Consistant with MS symptoms, which, surprise surprise, doesnt come up in blood tests). The only other thing I can say is that I didn't just go to 1 doctor, over that time I seen around 3 doctors. When I thought I was being listened to, it comes right back and hits me in the face. This is a terrible doctors practice that sent me round and round in circles. I've stopped working and started having many more symptoms and I've been left feeling like there's nothing they can do to help me, or that they just don't want to help. They ignored the fact that I was actually in pain and basically told me I was paranoid. Bottom line - WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

I have used this practice for about seven years but in the last few years it has really dropped in standards seems to be run for the staff rather than the patients I will be moving

Extremely rude and incompetent doctors (the two that I have visited). I had an 8:30am appointment, the doctor rolled up in his car at ten past 9 and made me wait a further 20 minutes, offering no apology or explanation. Twice I have been offered hospital referrals, the first time the doctor did not bother to book it, the second time I went to the hospital and the referring doctor did not bother to contact me with the results.

I have found Dr Maconachie excellent and highly recommend him

Okay I have been disqualified from the Centre for not attending my appointments and for that I can only apologise as I haven't been feeling all that clever or feeling a 100% As it's not a stone throw away from me I gave a 5 star posting is it possible to get a change of decision and place me back onto being a patient again with your centre??.

Extremely friendly staff who went over and above to help myself.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! It has now been over a week since I ran out of my prescription medicine (this is not a medicine that you should stop using abruptly like this) and despite me repeatedly calling to try and sort out a repeat prescription, the practice continuously dodged my calls and voicemails. I then left a one star review on here and explained my situation. Almost immediately, the practice called me to tell me that my prescription was ready. Because of this I apologized and changed my review to a positive one. I then took time out of work today to pick up my prescription which I desperately need before the weekend. Once I arrived at the practice, I was told by the receptionist that there was no prescription there for me. My whole experience with this practice has been a massive waste of time and now my health is suffering because of it. If you are looking to sign up with a GP, look elsewhere!!!

Sadly voted one of the worst in the area on social media. Why? For the incredibly rude receptionist on a power trip. Until she leaves, avoid like the plague. Lovely drs though!

I have been at this surgery for 16 years and not once have I had any bother. I have to leave this practice as iam moving so have to change surgery's which iam very upset about. The doctors I had were Dr Busby and Dr platt who were so helpful and very caring when I was going through a hard time when I lost my dad through covid. I would like to thank you all for everything you have done for me through the years and wish u all well... Take care... Norma Macleod (Harris) bye 😢❤️

I was a little apprehensive about joining this surgery as some of the reviews were a bit mixed. Since joining the practise last month, I have found both the reception staff and doctors very helpful. I was given a same day appointment after a telephone consultation ( in hopes to relieve my worry) Dr Cruikshank ( I think) was very helpful.
