Leven Medical Practice

I no longer attend this surgery as I have moved to another area but compared to my new doctors surgery this place is amazing. The doctors listen to your concerns and are sympathetic as are the nurses who talk to you like family nagging you to get a flu jag and that’s what i want, someone who cares whether you get a flu jag or not. The waiting area compared to the new surgery is less intimidating, welcoming and pleasant. Also I can thank leven medical centre for helping me stop smoking for 7 years yey!!!

This isn’t my favourite medical practice in Edinburgh.
The doctors and nurses are lovely. They put my mind at ease and are very professional.
However I don’t find their waiting room particularly pleasant, I think it’s too big and is shared with another medical practice. Their waiting times can also be a bit off putting as there’s very few bookable appointments each day. This means you show up in the morning and have to hope a doctor can see you OR wait up to two weeks for an appointment.
Finally, I found the receptionist off putting. I’m aware that there are multiple receptionists. One in particular (and one occasion in particular) I found her manner very difficult to deal with and found how she cut across what I was saying very rude. Given the sensitive nature of the job I was surprised at her manner.
