Wow, I can only say life changing, I went to see Gareth after a few friends had recommended him…read more I've tried doctors and physio's had x-rays, mri etc. I've even seen a spinal surgeon. So i thought what have i got to lose and it was the best decision I've made. My bad back was not the problem it was the associated pain in my Hip, leg and dead foot. So I found exercise a chore and being overweight didnt help. I booked a package of sessions, where after two I'd already noticed a huge difference. I've now completed my treatment with Gareth and I can only say that he is a weird miracle worker, his methods seemed a little strange at first but as he works he explains everything as he go's along and all makes great sense. I now have no pain at all in my hip, I could barely stand for 15 mins and sometimes walking was excruciating. Now I've started to regain feeling in my foot, my calf is better than ever. I've been able to go running and I've lost 2 stone. I cant thank Gareth enough and several friends and family have now visited him for treatment, again with some amazing results.

All of them are qualified to the highest standards within their chosen field, and with such a broad team to choose from, they pretty much have all of the complimentary health bases covered. Here's what they do: Acupuncture Allergy Testing Aromatherapy Counselling Herbal Medicine Homeopathy Hypnotherapy Indian Head Massage Nutrition Osteomyology Reiki Reflexology Shiatsu Out of this list I have had a number of treatments for various conditions. Shiatsu is brilliant for rebalancing the system and correcting imbalances on a profound level as well as in a more obvious respect. It will cure aches and pains that emerge from an overuse of the body, but will also assist in improving more subtle conditions such as digestion. I have also received Acupuncture (great for pain of any kind), and Herbal Medicine for infections, sluggishness and even as a form of tropical medicine, (to rid me of parasites when I came back from India - this was precautionary rather than specifically needed as I wasn't showing any specific symptoms at the time).

They offer a range of services over and above General Medical Services, including Maternity Medical Services (Antenatal, Post Natal), Child Health Surveillance (which sounds a lot more sinister than it actually is), Baby and Childhood Immunisation Clinics and more.

It is for the use of little; local companies like this one as to why we need the help of websites…read morelike yelp to tell us all about a place, locally from a personal perspective. I say this because I have found it hard myself when I've been trying look up certain companies information and details about the place and to have a good photograph on hand to know what the company looks like. So it is great to have people like us going out and about experiencing places like this surgery. Or by simply taking a trip down memory lane; by writing about where we have been in the past. This surgery is a small place where it has a reception desk and a waiting room for you to wait and here your name be called for a doctor's appointment. Swine Flu Vaccinations are taken place here at this surgery now. This is particularly for those people who are 65 years of age or older and women who are pregnant. You need to go to the surgery to make an urgent appointment. The building has access for disabled patients, but be aware that this is located through their car park at the rear. All records for every individual are kept confidential and this company is a part of the NHS. I recommend this place to all locals to use as the staff are very caring and kind.

The young female receptionist is incredibly rude and hung up on me multiple times throughout my time there, I always dreaded her answering the phone.

My advice, do not choose this surgery.

I am a patient at this medical practice. There are some things that I love about it but also some…read morethings that I hate about it. I love the fact it offers midwife facilities and baby jabs on site. I also am grateful to have a chemist a stones throw away making it quicker and easier to get my prescriptions. I hate the parking (or lack of parking) outside and I am not keen on do it yourself booking in system as it never seems to be working. The ladies that work in this practice are fantastic. They always try to fit me in if they are fully booked and on days that they cant they always get the doctor to give me a call. The surgery itself could do with a lick of paint but other than that it is fine. It has a good size seating area which is big enough to sit away from other germ ridden patients! Top tip- If you need a same day appointment get your finger ready on speed dial dead on 8 o'clock otherwise you may be disappointed!

Gosh, it's really odd going to a doctors surgery that is obviously just two houses converted…read more.. Going into the waiting room it is a little unnerving, feeling like you're going to be diagnosed by a slightly addled auntie with seven cats. But, having said that, the receptionist I spoke to today was lovely. You know you sometimes get those receptionists who look at you like you're wasting everybody's time, you aren't really ill? Well, she was the complete opposite - in fact, I'm fairly sure she called me lovely. What a nice way to start the day! I actually saw the nurse who led me down a little twisty path to her office (in what must have been an extension). She was efficient without being brisk. Her manner was very friendly and I felt at ease. Also, she gave me a prescription! That might make me sound a little bit like a junkie but I do find that some doctors will tend to dole them out willy-nilly while others keep their forms rather close to their chest. It's almost pot-luck as to whether you actually get one. However, I really felt as though I needed an inhaler, and now I've got one. She also booked an appointment for me to come in again in two weeks so that was all sorted. I must remember to ask her how her holiday went the next time I see her. She's going to New Jersey.

Apart from that most things are the same. Things like this: 'At present we are not accepting any applications, except from immediate family members of existing patients.' An Advanced Access appointment system is in operation at the surgery for all clinicians which aims to enable all patients to see a Health Professional within 24hrs. A number of appointments can be pre-booked up to two weeks in advance. All other appointments can be booked on the day. Additional Services include: * Cervical Screening * Contraceptive services * Vaccinations and Immunisations * Child Health Surveillance * Maternity services (excluding intra partum care which is an enhanced service) * The minor surgery procedures of curettage, cautery, cryocautery or warts and verrucae and other skin lesions Disabled Access is available at both surgeries to all patient areas. Both sites are equipped with Hearing Loop. Somethings are different. Parking at 67 Thornhill Road is restricted. Please do not wait in the entrance or exit drives and respect the coned areas. If possible please park elsewhere when visiting the surgery. This branch also closes half an hour earlier. That is all.

This small GP Surgery has two perminent doctors, but they also bring in a locum every now and again…read morewhen needed. The two perminent doctors are Dr. (Mrs) K. Hasan and Dr (Mr) A. W. Sabir. The surgery is one of two in the area, and although the practice looks a little run down (check the photo to see what I mean), this isn't reflective of the level of healthcare that you can expect here. This is a good surgery! A lot of the patients are drawn from the foreign student population in the area, but it is also popular with UK students as well. I'm unsure whether they offer any special facilities for students (like some of the other surgeries do in the neighbouring areas of Roath and Heath), but I guess that all of their patients needs are met regardless.

Nobody wanted to give me an appointment so it had to be during walk-in hours 8:30am-11am (Mon-Fri). This was on a Friday. I came back the next week on Wednesday, having booked the morning off work and spent money to get up there to find out that I can't get my blood test done because whoever takes it is off work for another 8 days. I felt angry at the incompetence of staff who could have let me know this beforehand! I then asked for an appointment after the 8 days and the receptionist again dodged my question and told me to come back after the 8 days. Bearing in mind that any time I go to a walk-in (Mon-Fri) I wait for someone to see me from 1 to 2.5 hours!
