Review titled My experience at Didsbury Medical centre
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Samuel Joness N - Posted on 03 February 2025
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care and unwavering dedication you have shown to me and my family over the years you have not only been a trusted physician but also a compassionate guide through many health challenges. Your ability to combine deep medical knowledge with genuine human kindness sets you apart, taken the time to listen carefully, making each consultation feel more like a meaningful conversation with a trusted confidant rather than just a routine check-up. It is becoming hard to find a doctor who not only thoroughly examines symptoms but also considers the full scope of a patient's medical history, lifestyle, and even personal circumstances. You have always gone above and beyond to ensure that every diagnosis, treatment, and piece of advice is tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Whether it was addressing concerns with patience and empathy, providing reassurance, following up during difficult times for my sisters specially when you paid a visit considering one oher disability not able to take the stairs, or simply remembering small personal details that made each visit feel warm and familiar, your approach to care has been nothing short of extraordinary. Your ability to create a comforting and trusting environment has made a world of difference in how we perceive and experience healthcare. I am now 55 years old, and as someone who values self-improvement and personal growth, I deeply admire your dedication to continuous learning and excellence in your field. You have not only been a doctor to us but also a role model, exemplifying what it means to serve with integrity, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to your patients' well-being. Whether it was providing timely interventions, offering reassuring words during uncertain times, or simply being available when we needed guidance, your support has meant more than words can express. I also want to acknowledge the entire team at Didsbury Medical Centre, whose professionalism and kindness have complemented the outstanding care we have received. A great medical practice is built on the foundation of dedicated professionals working together, and it is evident that you have cultivated an environment where patient care comes first. Sincerely,

I've just moved to this practice and everyone has been so friendly. I had a few requests which were dealt with quickly and I had to go in a few times and both receptionists were lovely, which was really welcoming

Review titled Best practice nurse (travel vaccines)
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 September 2023
I was quite nervous to get jabbed but the practice nurse was so lovely she put me straight at ease. I felt I learnt so much in this appointment and she gave me such great advice for my travels. Never have I been so cheerful after being vaccinated ( I needed 3 jabs so this is a real testament to this nurse ). Thank you to this practice nurse I really appreciate her !

Review titled Appalling practice from the doctor
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Mr Daniel D Mitchell - Posted on 21 June 2023
I attended my appointment with the following issues: a lump on my thumb (which I was informed was a wart at the appointment), a fungal toenail, a suspected heart problem and to also be referred for an autism diagnosis. The doctor told me he would write me a prescription for the wart which he didn't do. He asked me to bring my nail clippings into the practice and gave me a urine sample pot to bring them in so he could determine what fungus it was. I since have been using a treatment I bought at Boots which seems to be working for the nail. He timed my heartbeat for around 10 seconds while looking at a watch and concluded that there was no issue with my heart. He said he would refer me for an autism diagnosis and I haven't heard anything about this either.

Review titled Service is above and beyond
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Katie Cox - Posted on 08 June 2023
I have consistently been impressed with the practice, having always been seen the same day. The practice have been especially diligent with ensuring my children get appointments even when I have contacted them later in the day. Recently I also received follow up courtesy calls to ask after my daughter which I found to be above and beyond. Receptionists, GPs and nurses are all friendly- we couldn’t ask for more.
