In the surgeries I've been to I've always found there was at least one doctor I didn't like, but then I tend to think doctors have selective hearing and reading with all the problems I've been having.
I go to the Arthurstone Terrace practice, which is probably fairly local for you. The doctors seem nice enough but they have this mad system where you can only get an appointment on the day you want to go, so you have to phone first thing as soon as the phone lines open. Mind you, if you have regular medicines, you might actually be able to book your appointments in advance...
I managed to get into an NHS dentist out at Lochee, it's a bus ride but on a main route so not a problem. You might want to check a few places before you resort to private.
Ah, asking about how they arrange their appointments might be a way to decide on a doctor. I don't think I like the harassment of trying to get an appointment on the day :)
It's definately worth asking, I was allowed to book an appointment in advance when I was told that i needed to come back for a follow up in a few weeks, so you may be okay as far as regular medication checks go.
