“So many negative reviews for no reason! I recently switched to this pharmacy from Boots and honestly I'm sad I didn't switch sooner! The pharmacy processes my prescriptions (sent electronically from my GP) within the week, most times it's within 2 days which is perfect. One of my medications is affected by a current global shortage, but the pharmacy does ring me and let's me know that they don't have it in stock. After working in pharmacy myself I know that they can't do anything about it so I'm not annoyed at them in the slightest - it's just how it is. They have also liaised with my GP about their current stock and whether the brand or strength can be changed, which helps me massively (i.e. I don't have to attempt to ring every pharmacy within a 10 mile radius to source my medication). Maybe I have just come to expect so little from pharmacies after dealing with Boots for years, but no I honestly believe that this pharmacy is great. They pick up their phone almost immediately if I need to ring them, and they also send a text reminder when my meds are ready to pick up.”

“North Leeds Medical Practice is in my opinion one of the best practice in Leeds. I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Jackson today, and I can honestly say she is an amazing doctor. She truly stands out for her compassion, kindness, and incredibly positive attitude. What impressed me most is how well she listens to her patients—she takes the time to understand every concern and makes you feel genuinely heard and cared for. Both my husband and I have seen her several times, and each experience has been consistently supportive and reassuring. Dr. Jackson is a true professional with a warm heart, and we’re so grateful for the care she provides. Thank you !”

“Well stocked, and although not the cheapest pharmacy they have the best selection.”

“Dr Sam Khan - Long Covid Clinic I would like to say a big THANK you to Dr Sam Khan who I saw very recently in his clinic at the Whitehall. I wanted to explore if there was anything more I could be doing / any different perspectives that might be helpful to me, over and above the input I have received from the NHS. I have been very lucky with the NHS services I have received for my diagnosis but even so future outcomes are unknown. This is the first time I have ever accessed private medicine and I was a little unsure to be honest. However I feel it was very much money well spent. In terms of booking the appointment – this was all very easy. The Whitehall also facilitated a video consultation rather than a face to face appointment as it would have been difficult logistically and health wise for me to get to Leeds. The clinic staff were very communicative prior to the appointment and understood that I wasn’t looking for a diagnosis (I already have this and have received extensive NHS input). In order to get the most out of my appointment time with Dr Khan, the Whitehall clinic were happy for me to forward my medical records in advance of the appointment so Dr Khan would have sight of them before our appointment. This meant that valuable appointment time was not taken up going over my history. It meant we had the whole appointment to talk about what might help me and strategies to try. Dr Khan was prepared to talk to me in a detailed clinical way which I was very appreciative of. It was really refreshing to speak to a medic who has a proper understanding of my condition and the debilitating impact the condition has on people. I came away from the appointment feeling like we had had an informed and collaborative discussion. I believe if as a patient you come away from an appointment feeling listened to and have a collaboratively agreed plan of action, then it is a job well done. This is certainly how I felt after my consultation with Dr Sam Khan – so many thanks! The advice that Dr Khan gave me was practical, within my reach and made sense to me. Additionally, Dr Khan did not try and book me in for further appointments. One of my worries about booking a private consultation was the worry that further appointments would be needed (which I might not be able to afford). There was zero pressure in this regard and just from a one-off appointment I got a lot of valuable advice and information. So a HUGE thanks to Dr Sam Khan. It was an extremely worthwhile appointment and worth every penny. Best wishes. Elaine”
