  1. Review titled Poor Practice

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 06 August 2024

    I was asked to book an appointmet by the Surgery (Clifton Lane West Bromwich)to have blood pressure checked. I called the Surgery waited on hold for 10 minutes only to be cut off. This is very poor practice as it was the Surgery that asked me to book the appointment in the first intance.

  2. Review titled Unhappy

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    I had blood test had text message to make an appointment, was over phone 3 weeks later, had another text message to book an blood pressure check, sent wrong telephone number, then phoned surgery kept on hold for 30 mins to be cut off. You’re lucky if you see Doctor always a locum . Being going downhill since previous GPs retired, people complained about them but you always got to see a GP.

  3. Review titled Shocking service

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    So I’ve tried calling 3 times this afternoon to get through to my surgery, I was first on hold for 6 minutes…cut off. Tried calling back and was on hold for another 17 minutes. The receptionist had picked up the phone and I believe had attempted to cut me off again but failed, leaving the call on and I could hear the two receptionists in the back ground discussing customers appointments and potentially revealing confidential information. I shouted a number of times for someone to hear me, and eventually after 5 mins of me shouting hello, the receptionist had realised I had been on the phone and ended the call, without an apology. This is very serious as I could have been exposed to sensitive information. I’ve had nothing but trouble with this surgery over the last couple of years. I can’t even get through any morning to make an appointment. I can’t believe a practice would treat any of their patients like this, and especially not being careful enough to end the call and me being able to hear conversations in the background.

    by Amanda - Posted on 23 July 2024

    My father in-law has got mixed dementia I had a call for a dementia review for him has I'm his appointee the call dint happen it took 3.5 hors to get through to them to ask why and they told me the patient had cancelled the appointment which I said its impossible because he didn't know about the appointment plus he doesn't have the phone number for the surgery I received 3 text messages saying his consultation was book for 9am on that day I emailed to complain about it I haven't received any reply what so ever I did explain it was impossible for my father in-law to ring them has he hasn't got through number so the cancellation was done by someone at the surgery and didn't bother to contact to let me no its not the first time of having trouble with them when we asked for a doctor to come out to see my father in-law because he had a very bad leg and I said it looked like cellulitis they said we don't do home visits and asked me to send pictures of his leg they still couldn't tell properly from them and then asked if they could do a video call which we had to accept because my father in-law won't leave the house at all and then could only say it could be cellulitis and sent a prescription for antibiotics plus other things that have happened so I wouldn't recommend this surgery at all

  5. Review titled Poor practice

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Momota - Posted on 24 March 2024

    I had abnormal blood results and needed some medication. I called the GP to book an appointment. Receptionists gave appointment after 2 weeks of ringing them every morning. Receptionists keep on giving wrong appointment time to their patients. My treatment has been delayed for nearly 3 weeks. Doctors call me at the time I’m not aware I have an appointment. I have left my name and number with reception for their practice manager to call me. No one has made a phone call to explain why appointments are getting cancelled and changed without informing patients. This GP is unsafe for patients.

  6. Review titled Unprofessional doctors, nurses and receptionists

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    I had booked face to face appointment for my dad on Wednesday 28th February. His vision has completely gone from left eye. My dad went to GP and waited for 30 mins. Receptionists said they have changed his appointment time and without informing him. Receptionists are very rude and shout at patients and relatives. Don’t book appointments correctly. Refuse to give their name or their practice managers email

  9. Review titled Very very disappointing

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    Been waiting for 26 minutes now to speak to someone - obviously the call can’t be important as they keep saying on hold. Can never get an appointment always told to call back at 8am next day - why ?? - when you are very very lucky enough to get on the surgery is always empty !!!
