The days of the NHS are coming to an end some would suggest under current Tory government. Karis…read moremedical centre is a good example of why we should keep this great societal tradition alive. The medical centre is housed in a large building and caters to the Ladywood and City Centre areas. New housing developments in the City Centre have caused a rise in the number of patients in this area and Karis Medical Centre lives up to its heavy demands. As a patient here I was never subjected to long waiting times or bad service. I was usually seen the same week and was always given a choice in what doctor I wanted to see. The medical centre caters for a variety of life's ills and is easily located from the Hagley Road. A children's play area is available for those that have children. A play centre is not really needed as the waiting times are short. If you live in Ladywood or City Centre then I would recommend using Karis Medical Centre for your General Practitioner.

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!

The staff used to be brillant however i dont think that they had the funds to continue such a shame. As mentioned it is no longer here but I think it will be missed as there isn't really any other place like this in burntwood. I never heard a bad thing about this place it was always good.

From the outside it looked so modern but on the inside it looked like everything was a bit dated; magazines I understand but not old fashioned and uncomfortable beds I recently registered at this doctors' and was pleased to know it all happened there and then. There was none of that "send us your sample"/ "You'll be registered in a few days" this was lucky as I needed an appointment the next day. In fact it's pretty quick and easy to get an appointment. I had to see the nurse who didn't appear to care much about my health. I know she probably didn't care but it would've made me feel so much better. She didn't explain things properly either and got a bit patronising when things went wrong so I had to ask her explain again. On the other hand the doctor was better as she was kind and talked me through things but didn't make me feel reassured and the extremely uncomfortable examination didn't help!

ALL staff I spoke to were very very pleasant and helpful. Walking through the corridors I am so impressed with the cleaniness and how diligent the cleaners are. Even the receptionists cleaned their work area. The restaurant was also very clean, and were clearing and cleaning the seating areas regularly. I have unfortunately had regular visits to Heartlands and Solihull and they are filthy dirty and rarely saw a cleaner. Well done to you all. Susan Robinson, Solihull
