I was reffered on to several specialists when needed. A wonderful GP surgery for those in the area, a car park outside and a pharmacy over the road.

It's family and children friendly, providing a petite little children's area in the corner of the waiting room as well as spaces for prams and push-chairs by the entrance which is easily accessible via the ramp into the surgery. The nurses and doctors here provide advice, support and inform patients of any matters caused for concern as well as supplying many means of actions to help their patients. If you're living locally around the area I would suggest registering with this NHS surgery as all nurses, doctors and reception staff are extremely helpful, gentle and informative with any queries you may have with them.

By far the best GPs that I've had in Birmingham. The doctors here - or at least the one that I…read morealways see: Dr. Zoltonos - have a remarkable knack of being extremely efficient without making you feel like they're just trying to rush you out of there. I don't think I've ever spent any longer than about 2 minutes in the surgery at a time, yet I have always felt listened to, taken seriously and medically sorted out - which, to be fair, is exactly what you want in a GP. Particularly the 'taken seriously' bit - I moved here as my previous GP seemed to find all my complaints highly amusing, I have no idea why. I was also able to see a doctor the morning after I registered, which was a bonus, as sometimes moving records across and what have you seems to take forever at some places. Not at River Brook, thank God, where they seem to have got sympathetic efficiency down to a fine art.

The surgery is clean and spacious with a small car park, but side street parking is available. The…read morereception area is usually busy with queues but there is a touch-screen as you enter to register yourself in for your appointment. However, on one occasion when the machine wasn't working, I registered myself directly with reception staff. After waiting an hour, I queried the delay only to find I hadn't been highlighted on the system. This was very frustrating because when I once missed an appointment, I received a terse letter saying I risk losing registration at the surgery if I were to do it again. However, this has only happened once. I'm very happy with the service from my GP who makes a concerted effort to give me bespoke care. Other services such as mental health and midwife clinics are also available. The nurses are very understanding and helpful.

Bellevue Medical Centre is a local medical practise that offers standard NHS as well as other…read moreservices. This was my doctors for some time when I lived close by and I had good experiences here. The first thing you notice about Bellevue is its professionalism. Inside the place looks new, well kept, with a neat, clean feel. When I first arrived the reception staff were friendly and helpful, particularly with getting through the usual soviet-style bureaucracy. I visited the medical centre on a few occasions, seeing two doctors, both of whom offered valuable service. They gave me more time than many doctors do in the city, and they were attentive and helpful. This is actually where my back problems were first taken seriously. My only bad experience here was one time when I waited a long time in the waiting room, and waited, and waited, and eventually said something to the receptionist (about an hour later) who told me that they hadn't put me through the register and had forgotten all about me! But this was really a one off admin problem and don't think it was normal. In general though, expect a wee wait for your appointment as it can get quiet busy. Bellevue also offers services like midwife clinics, mental health clinics, new baby clinics etc. It's also possible for new patients to register through their website to save time and stress. Overall, a highly recommended doctors!
