How good is your GP surgery?
Whether it's having 'helpful' receptionists, or doctors who listen, people can have a vastly different experience at their local practice.
A new set of data has been published based on the latest findings from the GP Patient Survey, a huge ongoing poll involving more than a million people a year.
We have collated that into a helpful widget that you can use below to find out how well rated your surgery is.
The findings reveal that a GP in Stockport has the highest rating in Greater Manchester.
The Surgery 1 in Brinnington has been ran by Dr Hany Azmy for almost thirty years.
It beat 446 other practices in the region to claim the number one spot, with Milnrow Village Practice in Milnrow coming in second, and Perkins Practice in Oldham third.
The Brooklands Medical Practice was the top-scoring surgery in the city of Manchester, while the Riddings Family Health Centre was top in Trafford.

The survey also covers everything from the trust patients have in their doctor, to the attitude of reception staff and how easy it is to get an appointment.
The Manchester Evening News' data team has crunched the numbers in seven key areas: how easy it is to get an appointment, whether opening times are convenient, whether people trust the GP, whether the GP listens to them, whether the GP treats them with care and concern, whether receptionists are helpful, and how patients rate their overall experience.
More than 97 per cent of patients at The Surgery 1 felt their doctor listened to them properly, while more than 96 per cent said they were treated with care and concern.

One hundred per cent said reception staff were helpful, and a similar proportion said their overall experience of the surgery was good.
Dr Hany Azmy believes that its his walk in appointments and long-standing relationships with his patients that scored him so highly.
"I've been here almost 29 years," he said.
"I know my patients well. They are happy and we are happy.
"We have walk in sessions every day in the morning and again in the evening, so if someone needs to see me, they can turn up and know they will be seen.
"I also spend a lot of time speaking to patients over the phone, helping them with any questions or concerns.
"I also have a brilliant team working here with me."
