Crossin's Optician is the first Optician's I ever went to. Little Conor got his first pair of…read moreglasses here at the age of 4 and kept coming back for every year until I had to start buying them myself. The staff know me really well, so are always really friendly. But to the new comers they are just the same. The prices for eye tests are actually quite reasonable compared to other local optician's and they won't just give you glasses for the sake of making a sale. Their collection is one of the more modern ones I've saw locally, some others have the same frames from the first day they opened and are still optimistically hoping to get some money for them. As with all local Optician's, their prices are a lot more than the big chains, but it's my local. It hails back from a time where everyone had a local optician, just like they do a GP. I like that.

This optician was used by my family for years. It was where I got my first pair of glasses. A…read morerather less than fashionable wire rimmed Harry Potter set. Although the glasses where pretty awful, the service was good. It was nice to go into a place that had a little more of a local feel. Since then I have gone to some of the bigger chain opticians, and while they might offer a bigger selection of glasses, you feel there is much less of a personal touch. Thankfully I don't need to wear my glasses all the time, so style isn't a huge driving motive for me, so Crossin's opticians is able to supply me with a decent looking pair of glasses, while not needing me to break the bank to get them.

Is it really possible to say I'm a fan of the doctors? I mean, really? Sure, Kerrsland is a lovely,…read moreairy surgery, and I only had to wait a miraculous five days for an appointment, and the GPs are all helpful enough...but it is a doctors. Fine, four stars it is. I am fortunate enough to not be a regular attendee at such a place. The last time I went was due to my hayfever, three years ago, as it had gotten particularly bad and I was to spend the next five days camping. At that time, prescriptions were £3.50, so I was only prescribed a nasal spray, despite the fact that the locum doctor was adamant that I would get them for free since I was a student. I managed to persuade that this really wasn't the case, and I also had to fork out for dental treatment. She was appalled at this, and I was rather appalled that she hadn't known this fact. Lovely lady though. This visit was linked to my sore foot, and I hesitantly made an appointment with another locum doctor, who was pleasant enough and tried his best to figure out what was up. He informed he that I was suffering from foot-pain (gosh), and that he would prescribe me some anti inflammatories, and that it would probably be a good idea for me to get an arch support too. Prescriptions are now free (happy days), so I didn't mind this too much at all. Awk, they do do a good job. I just really hope I won't be back mind you. Simply because it is a doctors. Nothing else.

But even still, this optician makes you feel comfortable and at ease while you're getting tested. They also offer some pretty good deals on their glasses such as buy one get one free, or get a pair of free sunglasses etc. It depends on the offer on when you go so make sure to ask a member of staff for some help. As well as glasses they sell a range of accessories such as glass cleaner, contacts, contact drops, solution etc. Most things needed for eye care. So if you're squinting while you read this call in to Boots Opticians and see what they can do for you!

I've been a patient at this surgery my entire life. They were originally based within the…read moreGreenisland estate, however a number of years ago a new purpose built surgery was built at the site of a former primary school, just off the Station Road. The practice is open Monday - Friday 8:15am - 5:30pm. I am very happy with my own GP at this surgery and get a fantastic service in that respect. Any other staff I have dealt with on reception and in the treatment room are also very friendly and personable. I took a star off however as it can sometimes be a nightmare to get through to them, and sometimes when I have got through, I've randomly got cut off halfway through which I'm sure you can understand is frustrating! This however should be eased soon as within the next month, they will be launching an online appointment booking service (you will need to sign up for this) They already have a useful online web portal for ordering repeat prescriptions. The reception area has a large book case for patients, a bathroom, and toys for children. There is a good sized car park outside, and a pharmacy across the road which makes collecting prescriptions handy.

Greenisland Old School Surgery has been in practise since 1947. The doctors based here include Dr…read moreWhite, Dr Bradley, Dr Gibson and Dr Crothers. The Practise nurse here is called Arlene and is a lovely lady. The surgery here can be busy so booking an appointment is preferable although there is a drop in facility. The surgery operates an appointment system. Appointments can be made with the receptionist, by phone or at the surgery. Each appointment lasts 10 minutes and is for one patient only. The surgery operates a triage system daily between 8.30 - 10.30am. If you feel you have an urgent problem which requires a doctor on the same day, you can phone the surgery and a doctor will return your call, to assess your needs. It can be hard to find unless you know where you're going so keep you eyes peeled. If you're coming up the station Road it's the second left, then you take the first right down in to the buildings. It should be sign posted towards the clinic. The surgery itself is exceptionally clean and hygienic which is always a bonus. The staff are helpful, polite and good at their job. The non smoking clinic is held on a Tuesday. Other services include; clinics for chronic disease care and they offer a wide variety of other medical services such as antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.

My Doctor is Dr Abraham and she has always been easy going and open which is a great help when you are ill. The surgery itself acts as a pillar of the community. It is clean and well organised. The girls or should I say ladies at reception are really hard working and they do there best to make an appointment convenient for you. Recently I had to access my medical records which I thought would be a bit of a hassle. But the process was in fact simple. Thanks to the staff at Cleland Park. One criticism of the place is that the toys in the waiting room are getting rather dated. I know I shouldn't be playing with them but there is not much else to do when you are waiting. The abacus could certainly use a bit of tender loving care.

The shop floor is modern and spacious, and is a vast amount prettier than most of the stores in and around Downpatrick. The different brands of glasses on sale here are clearly categorised and labelled to let you know their prices and suitability for different eye conditions. The optometrist herself is a lovely woman. My girlfriend regularly has to collect her prescription for her contacts her and she always receives timely and personal service here. It would be easier for her to get someone closer to home but she likes to stay her because of the quality service that she gets here, so I have only good things to say. Hopefully my girlfriend will not have to go here too much longer as she wants to get her eyes lasered, which is alarmingly expensive for of you who don't know, you are looking at £3000!!!
