“I can't recommend Gillian enough - she has been able to connect me to a part of myself that I didnt know existed. I now feel and believe that I have the mental fortitude to face my issues/phobia head on (if said issues even arise as she seems to have unburdened me from those aswell). If you are considering hynotherapy, don't hesitate with Gillian. It will be the best investment for your mental well being that you can make. Thank you so much Gillian, Rosie”

“I’ve now visited the Livingston Window to the Womb 3 times this pregnancy and have been so happy with the service here. I’ve always felt incredibly comfortable and well informed by the staff. Janet has done our scan at 7 weeks, 10 weeks and now a gender scan at 16 weeks. As someone who was quite anxious she made me feel at ease straight away and made all 3 experiences enjoyable and reassuring. I’d recommend to everyone I know. The photo quality and videos have all been amazing too and great keepsakes for memories. Thanks again to everyone at the team. I will be back for a 4D scan later in the pregnancy!”

“Visited the clinic under my married name (Marr), to have a consultation about a scalp lesion. Dr Terrina was so fast and precise in checking the area and letting me know it was a benign mole, and she offered and successfully carried out a removal without needing an extra appointment or being charged extra. I am blown away by the amazing care and treatment I received, and I now can style my hair without the worry of the mole, my confidence has changed for the better. Thank you so much!”

“I self referred for an upper abdominal scan for reassurance, having had some right sided discomfort. My GP referred me to my local hospital for a scan in June and unfortunately, due to the NHS pressures, i'm still on the waiting list. I chose the Edinburgh clinic at a time and date to suit me. Carol was the radiographer and from the start of the appointment, I felt that i was in safe hands. She was very reassuring and talked me through the whole process. The whole experience was excellent and a very professional service. I would recommend Ultrasound Direct if you are feeling anxious about your health.”

“Kids had great fun trying to climb the different climbing walls.”

“I’ve taken 3 kickstarter sessions with Josie and have found them very useful and enjoyable. Josie is extremely knowledgeable and made me feel at ease with trying new things in the gym and talking through good goals to work towards. In particular she was great at spotting where my technique needed work and explaining how to change it in an easy to understand way.”

“I had such a great experience here! First of all, all the staff are brilliant! I went to get new glasses and wanted to try contact lenses. Everyone took time to discuss all the options, explain everything to me in detail so that I could understand what was happening. Jay (I don't know how to spell her name) was my optometrist and she was so great! I felt so at ease with her and she didn't give up to find me the right fit for contact lenses! When it came to finding the right glasses the staff took so much time and care to find what suited me and gave me advice, so that I didn't even feel that I needed to bring someone to help me pick glasses. I would highly recommend coming here if you have any questions or if you're nervous about anything, these lovely people will take good care of you!”

“Incredible service today from Hannah at Specsaver. I broke my glasses here on holiday and she calmly talked me through repairing them and replacing the broken frame for free. I would have been lost without them and unable to return home v easily! What a brilliant service, thank you Specsaver and thank you Hannah.”

“Managed to get hold of First Call Plumbing Service after attempting many other plumbers who either didn't have the available parts or were unavailable, to help with a repair of an in built toilet. David arrived promptly and was very professional. Quick and efficient. Highly recommended.”

Looking forward to my next visit!”

We have been coming here for about 7 years and our dogs are really well cared for. Spotlessly clean, quick appointments, regular reminders for vaccines, expert analysis and treatment for more serious issues.”

“On a recent visit to Edinburgh we ran in to a medical issue and needed urgent medication. Jill, Giovanna and Achilles went out of their way to ensure my wife got the medication she needed that day, with Achilles running to another pharmacy to get a partial prescription until the full prescription could be delivered the next day. Great pharmacy with excellent staff!”

“Cameron was first to welcome me into the store. He is always a joy to deal with and has great taste and a great eye for the frames that will suit me. I always feel vulnerable with glasses on but everytine I visit he makes it easy for me. He is the reason I keep returning to your store. Sarah make the actual eye exam fly past and is always the first to give you encouragement and keep you right. She is always happy to answer any of my questions too. Vision Express are lucky to employ such wonderful staff.”

“I cannot recommend Babes in the Womb highly enough! Our experience with their baby scanning service was nothing short of exceptional. As we approached the end of our pregnancy, we had concerns about our baby's position. The team at Babes in the Womb went above and beyond to address our worries, providing us with thorough scans and reassuring guidance. Their professionalism and compassion made a significant difference for us. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to make some important adjustments that ultimately contributed to a smooth and positive birth experience. We are so grateful for their support and dedication. If you're looking for a baby scanning service that truly cares, look no further than Babes in the Womb.”
