On arrival you are greeted by the lovely receptionists. I have met Donna and Fiona both of which made me feel at ease straight away and also Monty is adorable! You feel relaxed very quickly. Well... after visiting now for 4 treatment sessions I have a new respect and understanding for my body and how it works. I see Jeremy who is extremely skilled at pinpointing what I would term "pain epicentres" managing to understand my rambled attempts at explaining where I feel the pain is coming from, then he is able through palpation, to find the exact trigger point. After living with knee pain since childhood, to finally understand where the pain is actually coming from ( Jeremy explained a misformation of my hip) this was clarity for the first time in my life regarding this issue, of which doctors had previously misdiagnosed. Tantamount to this I've received treatment by way of deep massage and manipulation for TMJ disorder and ongoing neck pain, as well as, calf and ankle treatment down to my toes! Ask plenty of questions when you visit you get many answers as to how your individual anatomy works and advice on the effects of stress, emotions, sleep patterns and even how the way we breathe effects our daily life! Treatment and instruction on at home daily exercises and breathing techniques has improved my overall health tremendously, I have recommended many friends and family to Solihull Osteopathic Practice of which many have booked appointments for their complaints. Iwould recommend them to anyone. I have literally been fixed head to toe!

It was the first time I can truly say I have had a massage and came out feeling much better. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a proper massage that actually focuses on your problem areas and a therapist who actually listens to what you need! Would 100% recommend to anyone.

I spent several years suffering from back and neck pain and also migraines which were extremely…read moredebilitating. I made many visits to my GP for treatment and tried numerous conventional types of medication, but none were successful. I was then informed that many headaches originate from stiffness and tension in the neck and that osteopathic treatment and acupuncture can often bring relief. On this suggestion I visited the Backcare and Acupuncture Clinic for an initial consultation. This involved taking my history, examining the affected area and delivery of the first treatment. Practice Manager Paul Clusker impressed me a great deal. He was very thorough and listened to what I had to say. After my initial consultation I visited Paul on a fortnightly basis for a couple of months. After this time my back and neck pain reduced considerably and my migraines were far less frequent and much less severe. I now visit Paul every few months to keep on top of my condition as my back pain and migraines have almost disappeared. I only wish I had tried osteopathy and acupuncture sooner! I would highly recommend the Backcare and Acupuncture Clinic to anyone suffering with similar conditions to myself, but also a variety of many other symptoms can be treated.

I CANNOT praise the doctors highly enough - not so certain members of the reception staff! I suffer…read morefrom PTSD, and I can suffer from severe panic attacks. This happened recently, and it caused me to faint. Later I was told that the receptionist said "Oh he's done this before - I'm on ho,d on the phone". NONE of the staff came to see if I was OK, and apparently I was left lying on the reception floor for several minutes UNATTENDED. I'm sorry, but at what point is it a sackable offence to OPENLY show contempt for patients in front of other patients? Eventually when I regained consciousness, I managed to take a seat, and was treated AS USUAL with care consideration and understanding by one of the doctors! Would they have ignored me if a woman had a panic attack? Sorry but in MY view, this is GROSS MISCONDUCT. I've seen some callous medical receptionists before, but this one was OPENLY HOSTILE. Hardly the face of the caring NHS!

I have been going to Bulkington Surgery for years now and I think it is a fantastic doctors. If…read morethey are taking on more NHS patients and you live in the area then I would certainly try to get in. Dr Jennings and Dr Paul are lovely and the receptionists are really rather nice as Doctors receptionists go! Its hard to get an appointment in advance but they save extras each day, so if you call before 9am you can usually get in that day. They also offer telephone consultation which is helpful if you are really ill or cant drive. Its got a decent car park so its easy to access. 10 / 10!

I've been coming to Christine for almost a year now.

Christine helped turn my life back around and get me back on track and I continue to see her for "maintenance" appointments every 2-3 weeks to ensure I keep on top of both the mental and physical side of my health. I wouldn't have got through my loss and got back to where I am now without Christine's help and I can't recommend her highly enough. I was surprised to hear how acupuncture can help with the mental and emotional side of health as well as the physical and am so pleased our paths crossed. Christine is a very understanding lady who holds what you share with her in the highest confidentiality. Her calm and gentle manner make for a while round great treatment experience.

I had been coming to this Doctors surgery for 25 years, and think I took them for granted. To be…read morehonest, they have the longest wait ever and it used to drive me mad. However, a few house moves and different GPs later, I now appreciate them for the brilliant GPs that they are, and they are definitely worth the wait. They take the time to listen to you, take note of what you actually want, and seem to want what is best for you rather than to get you out of the door as fast as possible and get a fat salary. I guess this is why the appointment times over run! The surgery in Arley is a little outdated and could do with a revamp, but who cares when you get the medical help you need. In comparison, the other GP I was with has a nice complaint winging it's way to the nhs complaints team after I was told I was "a bit anal" for asking about nutrition advice, and being told you jump up and down after all the pills I take so he could hear me rattle!! So I've managed to get near enough to my old GPs and this time I really value them. I would strongly recommend them. They also dispense if you live in the village. They have their own free car park too.

I'm in two minds about Spring Hill. The doctors and nurses are great, when you can get in to see…read morethem; Dr Shah has gone out of his way get my concerns addressed each time I've gone to see him. Problem is getting in to see someone. The appointment system is ridiculous, to be honest. I'd registered for the online system when I first attended, then they changed systems and have asked me to go to the GP surgery with ID, which I now can't do due to COVID. You're told to call at 8am for an appointment, can't get through, and when you finally get through at 8:20 they're all gone. The admin team are hit and miss; some of them have really gone out of their way to help, but others have just been outright rude on the phone. If there was a closer surgery I'd go there - a great GP is only great when you can access them.
