AVOID DR EDWARD S GAYNOR…read more I'm a young female university student. I needed an emergency doctor appointment after being in crisis in the early morning yesterday. A doctor called (didn't know their name at the time), he sounded like an older male, I told him about my depression timeline and suicide attempts. I was nervous talking to him since last time I willingly had a male doctor was 6 years ago (the last male doctor spoke horribly to me). I mentioned my American fiancé supporting me throughout, and he replied: "You're not really helping yourself having an American fiancé." I was taken back by this comment and felt like I had to validate everything else I had to say after this. I called the doctors again this morning asking the receptionist for female doctor instead and to cancel the appointment with the male doctor since I was uncomfortable, explaining what happened, he replied: "The doctor you spoke to is one of the top doctors in the GP, I doubt he actually said that." I feel doubted, belittled and hopeless to chase up about my mental health now. Overall, if you're concerned about your mental health, avoid Dr Edward S Gaynor. Put a really bad impression on the GP since he's "one of the top doctors"...

Despite no longer being a student, as part of the Brownlow Group I occasionally get sent to this…read moresurgery, and it feels weird being surrounded by students who, 60% of the time, are blatantly trying to get an extension on coursework. I can understand how if you are used to going to The Infirmary or the Ropewalks surgery it may feel odd coming to a surgery in the middle of a university campus, but the good thing about the Brownlow Group is that you never have to wait longer than a week for an appointment as there are 3 surgeries to choose from. They treat you just like they would in any other doctor's, although the gossiping receptionists sometimes forget to lower their voices. Still, it's entertaining! There's an electric touchscreen self-admission point so if you've lost your voice or are highly contagious you can sign yourself in. Although, if you're highly contagious maybe you should just stay away from public areas... The waiting time is a little longer here (I blame the moaning students) but everyone gets seen in the end so no need to worry!

Let me first start by writing that The NHS is a wonderful national institution that has seen me…read morethrough many operations safely and I admire and respect its employees. However, when my Dad had his operation cancelled, TWICE, THE DAY BEFORE, enough was enough and he went private. Being admitted to The Spire was like checking into a four star hotel. No queues, no waiting time, no stressed out nurses and sleep deprived junior doctors, No busy wards with dubious bed neighbours telling you all about their prolapsed piles, no, no, no, The Spire is private darling and that would never do!! It had free parking, a lovely, friendly receptionist and pleasant waiting area which we were in for almost a minute before a porter came to fetch dad and introduce him to his room. Quite honestly, having had no experience of private hospitals before, the room was not quite as elaborate as I expected. Maybe the chaise longue and swags and tails curtains in my imagination were a bit farfetched. The Spire's bedroom looked like a nice Premier Travel Inn with a TV and a lovely white en-suite bathroom. I suppose I was regarding the whole situation from the wrong perspective. The Spire is not about the decor, it is about providing excellent quality individual care in an environment where a patient can choose their own consultant, experience tremendous facilities and have their ailments addressed promptly. Actually, it was well posh! Dad had to choose from a menu of full English or Continental breakfast, a typical dinner was chicken and sweetcorn soup and prawn salad- he didn't want to leave!. All the staff were so friendly and there were no visiting restrictions. Dad was more than amused to realise that most of the patients were there for cosmetic surgery and I must say that I did have a look at what procedures are performed there ( boobs, nose job, lipo, tummy tuck, eyelid surgery and bingo wings...... I was just curious). Great hospital, lovely staff and dad received the treatment he deserved.

Had hip replacement surgery recently, completed by Professor Max Fehily. From the start of the…read morewhole situation it has been extremely good. The Professor is a wonderful gentleman supported by a Brilliant team within the hospital. At every stage from appointment to admission through recovery to discharge the staff have been wonderful. The Hospital Director Mr Eadsforth has continued to improve and enhance the experience of both patients and staff, and he is well- liked and respected within the organisation. The food is excellent and I highly recommend this hospital if you are contemplating a procedure in the near future.

In the start of 2025 I was taken to WHISTON HOSPITAL by ambulance to A &E there is spent 8 hours in…read morethe back of an ambulance then 3 days in the corridor before and allocation of bed on a specific ward was available as I need a separate room due to personal illness and being a C Diff carrier so it's a precaution. But I had to go back on the 14th Dec to A & E once I'd had my bloods done and assessed I A and E it was only a matter of 3 hours then I was allocated a bed on observation ward then treatment began. 24hrs later I was moved to the correct ward in an a room allocated bed. This was a vast improvement which not only assist ing my physical but mental well being in itself. I have being a long term patient in and out on a regular basis been given the best care available by the doctors and nurses at Whiston and can only commend and praise the work and the treatment I have been given. Whilst I was in A&E I must admit I did see a lot of footfall come and go wanting treatment which could've been acquired and was more suitable for the walk in centre locally at the Millenium or seen a doctor if they had rang the surgery to make and emergency appt. The life and capacity is being square out of A&E due to these factors. I would like to give a huge thankyou to the drs and nurses at Whiston Hospital. Whom along with treatment have not only shown me their care but with compassion and empathy also. Hats off to you Whiston Hospital you can only work with what you've got but within 6 months I myself have experienced a vast and impressive improvement. Thanking you Donna McLean

Poor care, my mother says she would rather die than go to Whiston!!…read more The place is new and soulless, clean and tidy, but no care, staff talk between themselves, while you stand waiting to ask for help. They managed to lose my mothers belongings, broke her hearing aid, they could not understand how important a hearing aid is, thinking shouting at a deaf person is the only answer. When you ask for info the Drs answer was I have not seen her, the nurse pulled out a scrap of paper from her pocket!! what happened to records? To telephone you need a password, but you have to go in to get the password, the system is just not right. Car parking a joke, no info on the web site, even parking attendants telling you to park on the grass, taxi ranks full of cars parked in the wrong place. Not enough disabled bays, so cars just dumped all over the area. WH Smiths is so expensive just to buy water or sweets, at least Costa Coffee was ok. All in all It was very disappointing, when the care is so bad for patients they say they will not press the care alarm again, it must be bad. Some nurses were lovely, but it was never the same staff each time you went so confusing and upsetting for elderly people. Come on Whiston, do some fine tuning, make the patients feel cared for, and improve the food, terrible compared to Newton. Its not only medicine that gets people better.

Review for Doll and Teddy Hospital Feb 2025 I was really…read morelooking forward to taking my fifty-year-old Victorian reproduction doll to The Doll & Teddy Hospital for a badly needed restoration. Spurred on after watching 'The Liverpool Story' where the iconic premises are featured. From stepping over the threshold the proprietor seemed to know instinctively which fabric would suit the dolls coloring. Proving an excellent choice. As when the doll was returned to me soon after by post it looked absolutely stunning. The doll has huge sentimental value and every time I look at it, it makes me smile.

Well this has got to be the most random business that i've yelped about so far in my 2 months of…read moreyelping! I can only imagine that they are so specialist that they have created an e-commerce website and make all their money online. Nestled on the corner of Smithdown Road, in the heart of Liverpool's student community, is a fairly big shop that specialises in dolls houses, dolls house furniture and dolls house parephaelia. Not only this but they also act as a Dolls House repair shop. I mean talk about positioning your shop within the heart of your target market, correct me if i'm wrong but I don't know any students that have a dolls house or anything related to one! I've never seen anyone in this shop, and they only open 4 days a week, but fair play to them. If you know any Borrowers, perhaps you could furnish their house for under £20!

The whole team at Stonebridge Surgery are outstanding and deliver an exceptional level of care and…read moreservice, consistently going above and beyond to help in any and every way they can. Without exception, every member of the practice team, nursing team, and GP team is incredibly lovely, kind, considerate, and empathetic. They always take their time to listen, they reassure where they can, and they truly act within the best interests of their patients under their care. I have complex health needs and have been under the care of many, many health professionals and teams for the last 40 years (since I was a young child). I honestly don't give high praise lightly. In particular, I can't even find the words to articulate just how much praise and gratitude I have for Dr Taylor. There are many, many wonderful GPs; but she really is a shining light. I feel unbelievably lucky and hugely grateful for all that she has done, and continues to do, to look after my health and wellbeing. THANK YOU Stonebridge Surgery. You are a one in a million team and I appreciate, from the bottom of my heart, all that you do.

I have been with the Whittaker Lane Medical Centre for years now, and apart from the tired decor…read moreand a few many minutes too long sat in that waiting room I can't complain. Best to make an appointment here. I only remember ever having seen Dr. Schryer who has many devotees in the area (always a good sign) and Dr. Taylor but I'm sure Dr. Bromley is a top class GP too. One other thing; I had to re-register recently and it was a bit of a farce. I rang up the first day and was given the name and time that the 'manager' would be in. Next day: ring at the allocated time and she isn't in but a second member of staff says it will be fine to come down. Can I make an appointment? No, it takes a few days to process. But the first person says it was fine once I'd spoken to the manager? Anyway its a messy system when you're not in urgent ill health then they stick to their laboured paperwork and protocol. Yawn.
