As far as I’m aware, no one actually likes going to the doctors. If you do then maybe that’s something you should see your GP about…
Anyway, like I said, taking time out of your day to be poked and prodded is never fun but, for a doctors surgery, the Family Practice is a really great place to go and very relaxing. The Grade II listed building is the grandest surgery I’ve ever seen and its location in the residential area of Cotham means it’s easy to find a parking space. The gardens are full of beautiful plants and lavender lines the walkway leading to the main entrance — whether or not it was a conscious decisions to have the calming smell of a herb to relax patients I don’t know, but it certainly helps!
Inside the main waiting room is at the front while the nurses’ waiting room (where you would go for routine appointments or blood test etc) is round to the left. You can either sign in at the main reception or using the computer program at the front desk but be sure to note who your appointment is with as you need to make sure you’re in the right waiting room.
All the staff I have encountered has been friendly and professional and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who lives in the area.
