Called in to be seen very quickly
November 30, 2023
I have been here a couple of times. I am an interpreter. The staff are nice. The parking is good. The waiting times to be called in are very quick.
The doctors aren't good or understanding.
November 30, 2023
I have been using this place for the last 7 years. It has been very difficult to get the appointments here. I prefer online appointments as you have more chances of getting in that way. Last time I waited about half an hour. Normally it's 20 minutes and they call me in. The receptionists are good. The doctors are not good. They are a waste of time. They don't understand my problem. Their diagnosis isn't the best and they rush me. They don't give me solutions.
Good practice when the locums aren't working
November 30, 2023
I've been using this place for more than 9 years. The doctors are really good. If the locum doctors are there they treat you badly. They are always unprepared and don't read patient notes. They don't understand the complications properly and they give different medication. Most of the time the permanent doctors are here but if they aren't and it's the locum doctors we try to avoid them. All the other staff and the practice manager are very good. They listen to our problems attentively.
Always available appointments

I have been with them for the last 10 years. Reception staff, GP and nurses are all very good and helpful. Appointments are always available when needed.
Appointments given on time.

Always given appointments on time. The staff are very friendly.
Long waits for appointments
November 30, 2023
I will give them 3 stars because at times I have to wait for a long time to get an appointment.
New online booking is difficult.
November 30, 2023
The new system of booking an appointment online is very difficult for me. My daughter who lives in Dudley books all online appointments for me.
Wait a few days to see a doctor.
November 30, 2023
Easy to see the nurses but to see a doctor you have to wait for a few days. In an emergency I can see a doctor straight away.
Call at 8:00am and you get appointments

Pretty good. If you call at 8:00 am you will get an appointment. The staff are good and doctors are good too.
Still waiting for a referral after 2 years
November 22, 2023
I can't see any doctors. I waited 2 years for a referral and then you don't hear anything, you go for an appointment and they don't follow up. My son has tonsillitis and every month they give antibiotics and say he will be seen by the Children's hospital. I am still waiting for the referral
