The staff are friendly and professional and the prices…read moreare very reasonable, the environment is a little plain once you're in the treatment rooms (strip lighting and plain walls) - also the music that is piped in to the rooms whilst having your treatments is, in my opinion, far from relaxing! - but, all said and done, I came out feeling great. I've yet to find a massage/grooming place that gives you the truly royal experience of being utterly pampered. There's pampering, but there's definitely an artform of performing a facial that is more than just applying products in an order; the whole thing should be a ceremony rather than a service. Maybe I've been to too many health spas and this place is below my usual budget... but they could do more here to make you feel like a king (or queen!). That's not to say you should avoid this place, you should definitely give them a go -- but if it isn't your first time, you will end up comparing it to your previous experiences. This place do a lot of treatments other than massage/facial/etc and do treatments for IBS, migraines, and so on, although they are quick to disclaim medical efficacy on their enrollment forms.

Very friendly staff and a beautiful massage left me feeling relaxed. Will definitely be visiting…read moreagain.

Just off the High St Renassaince is on the corner of Station and Clarence Road…read more Renaissance offers a large range of treatments and therapies. Hypnotherapy Counselling The building is new, fresh and comfortable. When you ring the bell your therapist will come to meet you. As you enter the front door you are faced with a very small waiting area to your right and stairs going straight up infront of you to the counselling rooms. If you are less able bodied this could pose a problem as the stairs are narrow and steep. The counselling room is compact but well decorated as this is a new build. The walls are thin. 30 minutes into my Hypnotherapy session it sounded like a hurd of elephants running up the stairs. It was a busy day, glad to say I didnt have that problem at my 3rd session. If you are using public transport get off on the High St. Car drivers will find a place on the road.

Within 2 hours I had my appointment with Dr Mohammed (as requested) for a day that suited me. My appointment as always was superb, Dr Mohammed always remembers me, gives excellent advice and gives the best (pain free) hydrocortisone injections! I have been with this practice all of my life and seen them grow from Dr Mr and Dr Mrs Mcrann. to the state of the art care they now offer. yes, they get busy, but if needed a doctor will always see you. The reception staff are patient, kind and caring too.

I have been going to Harborne Medical Practice for years. Without wanting to bore you too much with…read moremy medical history (which is rather boring anyway and mainly consists of dodgy throats and the occasional jippy shoulder) I can say that every doctor I've seen here has been absolutely lovely - even when I've got carried away and misdiagnosed myself with something rare and life threatening (the joys of looking up symptoms on Google eh?) and it turns out all I've got is a slight case of tonsillitis. Which kills by the way. It's a big place with regular smoking cessation, diabetes and stress clinics. They have a team of very nice nurses and the reception staff are smiley and kind. They used to play rather annoying muzak but seem to have stopped that in recent years, although the kiddies soft toy play area can sometimes get a bit noisy - not ideal if you are a migraine sufferer. You can always get an appointment - the only downer is the lack of reading material - Golf magazines and leaflets on COPD feature heavily. Hopefully you won't need to use a doctor much, but if you do find yourself looking for one in the Harborne area, then this comes recommended.

This is the main sexual health clinic in Wolverhampton and is always very busy. The staff are…read morereally great, from the receptionists to the nurses themselves. There is a large waiting room where you wait till you get called, and then you go upstairs into a smaller waiting room with magazines and a tv until the nurse calls you in. unfortunately, it is not very accessible for disabled visitors once you are called upstairs, but you can always ask over the phone before visiting, or on the appointment day, to see if it is possible for you to be assessed in the rooms on the ground floor instead. They are always very prompt, but beware that on drop in clinic days it can get ridiculously busy and so you have to take a number card and hope for the best, but be prepared to wait a few hours to be seen.

Based on Harborne Lane just a few minutes from Selly Oak this Complementary Health Clinic offers all sorts of therapies - including a number aimed at pregnant ladies and new Moms - e.g. baby massage and intriguingly toddler yoga. As someone who suffers from a jippy shoulder I tend to use them for massages and particularly love their heated treatment tables. Rooms at the clinic are lovely and there's a generally relaxing and rather peaceful ambiance to the place (I usually fall asleep). The woman who runs the place is absolutely brilliant. Reflexology and Reiki are also offered and come recommended and the notice board is a good place to find out about locally run courses on for example yoga and the Bowen technique - great, smashing super (sorry - bad joke).

As a person who comes from a place that has no local hospitals (the nearest is an hour away, and…read morethat's a country hospital, so it's pretty small), the HUGENESS of the place baffled me at first. The inpatient food isn't bad, especially the puddings, but they only have a two week menu. I'd recommend a jacket potato, and avoid the sandwiches. (sounds silly but when you spend a lot of time In hospital you need to know these things.) Everybody here is supportive and will try their best to keep you in the know about what and why is happening. I have never sat there with an alarm bleeping for more than five mins. This is a fantastic achievement by the busy staff who will do everything to keep you comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone who doesn't like hospitals, this place knows you don't want to be there, and ensures that your visit will be as short as possible without you having to come back too soon.

The first thing to note about this hospital is that it is huge. If you go through the main…read moreentrance, it's like an airport or train station. There's loads of glass and space, it's very bright. There's a Costa Coffee, a WH Smiths and a cafe right by the doors as well as a handy information desk. Outside is also a fruit and veg stall that's great value for money. The hospital is well sign posted, so you can easily find what department you're looking for. Outpatients has colour coded chairs in the waiting areas so you know where to sit. There are also staff that are very friendly and willing to help you if you need it. The hospital is well served by public transport, with buses to Halesowen, Solihull, Birmingham and West Brom as well as being a couple of minutes walk from University station on the cross city line. There is a car park but it's very expensive. There are disabled spaces by the main entrance but there aren't many of them and the road can get very busy with cars and buses. A couple of years ago I broke my ankle (the "most spectacular broken ankle" according to the doctor in A&E) and was taken here. I was seen quickly by the doctors in A&E and x-rays were done fast as was the setting off the bones and the plaster cast. It took about two hours all together (I think, I was still very drunk at the time). I had to spend a week in hospital before surgery. The wards were clean and the nurses were friendly. The surgeon who fixed my ankle explained the procedure and was very helpful. Now there were some issues with my stay. Firstly, the food is awful. I found myself getting my husband to take me down to Costa to buy panini's in the evening. Secondly, I found the doctors who looked at my ankle talked over me. They would come in, have a poke around and then leave without saying a word to me. Thirdly, the date of my surgery kept changing, which is very frustrating when you just want to go home. Fourthly, I was given crutches but not shown how to use them so the first time I tried to take myself to the bathroom I lost my balance and tried to steady myself with my broken ankle. I've been back regularly since being discharged as an outpatient and for physiotherapy. I've been well looked after and received great care from the staff that I've seen.

After I have had great spa experiences back in India, I was recommended Spa Diamond at Birmingham…read more Initial welcome was good with good ambiance, pleasant service and a warm cup of green tea. Thereafter, during the full body scrub and spa treatment, I felt it was a rushed affair with the 60 minute session completed in 50 minutes, towards the end I felt the masseuse was falling short of enough oil to massage and it was almost dry and I had to remind her that she has left out the abdominal area. I also kept requesting for increased pressure during massage but it just wasn't enough! On constant reminder that my package included a bath soak, my masseuse kept refusing and later the receptionist confirmed that she had forgotten to inform the masseuse. I was later compensated by a joint soak with my husband where we were crammed up in a corner bathtub so neither of us enjoyed the soak and eventually were left feeling rather disappointed than rejuvenated. :( I hope the team works more diligently on customer service.
