Erm, anyone knows of any websites where people recommend/ advice against different doctors?
Basically I have signed up to my nearest practice, but so far I am not too sure what to think about the treatment I have recieved (everything has been rushed, and at times bordering unpleasant treatment by the staff) - and would like to see if there is another nearby doctors who is recommended by its patients, so I don't end up switching and then recieving equal or worse treatment.
Thanks!

There's always netdoctor - perhaps people in the area could recommend GPs?
Thing is I need someone who will listen to me regarding my medical concerns. I have too many issues to just let it go, and and not be able to raise my problems. So far I have felt as if I couldn't get out of the practice soon enough, secretary, nurse, and even the doctor as nice as she was, was very rushed. I understand that they can't book off half an afternoon per patient, but I did expect that first consultation with them, they would give me a bit of time to explain my issues, so all the bases are covered.
Very different from the uni doctor I used to go to, and now I am not allowed to go to the new uni doctor as I live too far away
Generally the system is designed such that there's enough time in an appointment to discuss one issue, trying to do more than that in a standard appointment is almost always going to lead to a rushed experience. Trick is to try and work out a way round that.
