Bupa Health Centre Bristol

Dentists here were great but unfortunately this health centre has recently permanently closed so I need to register elsewhere.

The whole service felt very clinical and lacked empathy and compassion. It wasn't very personal and it felt like I was part of a conveyor belt system. It would have been nice to know the doctor's name and to have a bit more of a introduction from her. This could have been an opportunity to come across as caring and that she wanted to know why I was there. I don't think staff should be wearing masks as they are proven to not do anything and it takes away from that personal, 1 to 1 interaction. It just felt very rushed and lacked intimacy. I paid for a 30 minute appointment but I looked at the clock and I still had 9 minutes left. Why wasn't that time spent getting more information out of me or trying to show care and consideration towards my symptoms and worries. I didn't feel very reassured after that appointment. I don't think I will be recommending a private GP appointment to anyone I know.

Not a suitable location for a health centre. The only access for those with impaired mobility is to park on the dual carriageway, thus blocking it.

Great experience. Helpful and efficient team. I went to see Dr Rhodri Martin and can highly recommend him.

Had an utterly fantastic experience here today. GP was extremely thorough, kind and professional. He took his time time to listen and I didn't feel rushed.
I was also treated very well by all members of staff. First time I've used services of Bupa but would thoroughly recommend.

I've lived quite the unhealthy life over the past 1-2 years, and had a slight physical niggle I was worried about. Decided given my age I should have someone check me over. Accidentally stumbled across the BUPA Be.Ahead assessment online, and managed to quickly book myself into it at Bristol. Didn't even know BUPA were there, despite living in the city 10 years.

The various assessments, blood tests, ECGs, etc. were conducted in an extremely professional and personable manner by JH. Nothing was too much trouble: JH is clearly someone who understands health and fitness and can explain things extremely well.

I then had a very long session with Dr DB, a combination of a review of the tests as well as a thorough physical examination, not only related to the specific problem which kicked off my medical paranoia.

I'm not (yet) so decrepit that I felt I needed Dr DB to refer me for any further investigation (the offers were there and discussed thoroughly), but felt fully confident that if I change my mind in the coming weeks or months, he will do that for me.

If you are able to afford to be assessed privately, if you have any health concerns, and don't particularly want to burden the NHS at this 'difficult' time, don't hesitate to book yourself in. I would recommend this assessment, at this particular venue (Bristol), to friends and family, without hesitation.

And the receptionist was lovely too.
