Reviews
Doctor Williamson is a doctor and a healer. I want to make the distinction here because not all doctors are healers. A healer is one who approaches the patient with intuitive care, observations and expertise and she exhibited those masterfully. As a visitor on holiday I was challenged by the care I received through the NHS and found Edinburgh GP to be the best solution in the short amount of time I had. But here, I was seen within 4 hours of calling for an appointment, was listened to and was carefully and thoughtfully administered the correct protocol for my next step to healing. I felt comfortable and heard. THIS is the place you want to call- you’ll be well taken care of.
Compassionate and professional- would highly recommend.
Dr Williamson was very professional and also very personable.
Whilst on holiday in Edinburgh I needed a review for a cardiac arrhythmia and viral infection. Excellent service and examination and follow up next day with blood results. Couldn’t have been a better experience.
De. Williamson took time to listen to my comments, evaluate my problem, and gather her thoughts while consulting my chart. Dr. Williamson did all the correct things and was very personable.
Excellent experience here. I was put at ease the minute I walked in. Dr Williamson is so welcoming and professional. My issues were listened to, help provided and the advice given was great. Dr Williamson has been so helpful with my health over the years and particularly in the last year. This is really appreciated.

Shona is an excellent all-around GP for adults and children of all ages. Her bedside manner is superb and she values making strong, lasting relationships with her patients. Shona has special interest in Women's health and is highly adept at fitting or removing Intrauterine contraception (Coils) having worked in the NHS sexual health unit at Chalmers for many years. Shona also has a special interest in preventive (lifestyle) medicine combined with advanced health screening. I couldn't recommend Shona more highly.
