We're about to move to Brighton (near Seven Dials), and would really appreciate some recommendations for good GPs in the area. Especially GPs that you have found to be great with babies and young children...Thanks!

Just bumping this in a bid to get noticed...anyone got a lovely GP in central Brighton (Seven Dials area) they want to share? Thanks.

Montpelier Surgery on Victoria Road, off Montpelier Road. They are lovely doctors there. Dr Gayton was just wonderful but he has retired now so I was going to leave that surgery because I moved to the other side of town but the other doctors have proved to be SO lovely and caring and sensitive and helpful I'll stay with them. Honestly, cant rate them highly enough.

When its pissing down and I have to get to the other side of town just to see them like I wish I'd moved nearer my new place....but then I get there and remember why I stayed with them.

I've never met Dr Richards though so I cant vouch for that one...the rest of them though are spot on!

Thanks BluddyMoFo! That's great. I'll check them out...

Just been looking at reviews on NHS Choices... The Charter Medical Centre and Goodwood Court Medical Centre in Hove both seem ok too (although opinion varies massively for all of them!). Does anyone have any experience of them, and Montpellier Surgery too? Also, i noticed an article in the Argus saying Montpellier might be forced to close if they can't find new premises...is this still the case? Thanks!

Don't like in Brighton anymore but used to use the Charter medical centre and it was very efficient and the Docs good.

This was 7ish years ago though. Good luck finding somewhere.

Thanks ElectricSoftParade!

HI

I use the doctrs at Park Crescent Surgery/Medical/Health Centre (They've just moved building and I think changed the name. They're good, always seem to listen and take things in and refer you to a specialist if necessary. They are great with children and the last doctor I saw had my little one sitting still and entranced, which is a rare thing! Anyway, it's on Lewes Road, Brighton!

Thanks TimoleonVCH! Sounds good. Any more recommendations (or non-recommendations!) gratefully received!

Hi - I live at Seven Dials too and we used to be at Goodwood Court but have been told we are not in their catchment anymore - Goodwood Ct is fab - but we will be looking for a new GP too ..when you move in if you fancy a coffee give us a shout

Thanks Duritzfan - what a nice offer - we're starting from scratch in Brighton so any recommendations for pretty much anything (nurseries, childminders, groups etc) all welcome!! My daughter is 9 months old. Might see you down there...

Mines 1 Yep we have a nice nurserry and a lovely childminder
Also some nice friendly friends with babies

Yeah I was at Montpelier for 15 years plus before we moved last year, originally with Dr Van Rhyssen.
Didn't go to the docs much, so can't really comment, but whenever I did they were fine. Had Torbati whenever I took DS.
The midwife there is uhm interesting... very "Brighton" . I had 4 pregnancies there (sadly only one child).

Lovely, Duritzfan. You are the Oracle! I'll give you a shout when we're settling in... thanks!

Thanks jolter - nice to get another recommendation - sorry to hear you've had a sad time with your pregnancies x
