Patient Experience Summary

Feedback on this practice reflects a mixed picture with significant variation in patient experience. Appointment booking emerges as a persistent challenge, with patients reporting difficulties securing consultations, unresponsive callback systems, and unreliable online platforms. Reception experience is similarly polarised, with some patients praising courteous and supportive staff while others describe dismissive, rude, and unprofessional conduct. Communication inconsistencies are frequently cited, including contradictory information between different staff members and poor follow-up on test results and referrals.

Clinical care receives more consistent positive feedback, with many patients appreciating the professional expertise and compassionate approach of doctors and nursing staff. However, concerns about waiting times, long phone hold periods, and the practice's organisational systems persist across multiple reviews. Patients also note variability in service quality depending on which staff member they encounter, suggesting inconsistent standards across the team.

The practice environment is generally described as clean and well-maintained. Overall, while individual clinical professionals are frequently commended for their dedication and care, systemic issues around appointment accessibility, reception courtesy, communication clarity, and operational responsiveness require attention to improve the patient experience.

Amazing support from a caring healthcare professional

Regarding Kauser (apologies if the spelling is incorrect), I must share my experience with this medical practice. Over my three-decade association with the surgery, I've typically been patient with minor frustrations. However, the reception staff's consistently unhelpful attitude finally pushed me to file my first formal complaint. Kauser, in contrast, was incredibly responsive and addressed my concerns effectively without allowing the situation to escalate further. She has been proactively supportive since our initial interaction. When subsequent issues arose with the reception staff, Kauser again stepped in and resolved matters impressively. Her professionalism and commitment to patient care are remarkable, and the surgery would undoubtedly benefit from having more employees with her exceptional approach to customer service.

Unprofessional doctor with terrible bedside manner

I visited the clinic seeking guidance on dental concerns related to my chemotherapy treatment and advice on managing side effects. Dr. Shiraz Butt was extremely unprofessional, immediately dismissing my concerns and stating he was not the appropriate healthcare provider to address my needs. Unexpectedly, he launched into an unsolicited rant about dental expenses, even though I had not broached the topic of payment. Throughout the entire appointment, he was aggressive and hostile, spending most of the time yelling and creating conflict rather than providing any meaningful medical assistance or support.

Exceptional doctor who truly cares about patients

Dr. Anas from Oakwood Surgery is an exceptional general practitioner who exemplifies medical excellence and empathy. He demonstrates remarkable attentiveness during consultations, giving each patient's concerns the full consideration they deserve without ever feeling hurried. His warm and approachable demeanor creates an environment where patients feel comfortable sharing their health issues, and he consistently provides thorough, comprehensible explanations. Finding a medical professional who balances clinical expertise with such sincere compassion is truly remarkable. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have such a dedicated healthcare provider looking after my medical needs.

Worst surgery in birmingham avoid at all costs

I deeply sympathize with anyone considering switching to Oakwood surgery, as it's undoubtedly the most subpar medical practice in Birmingham. Dr Qazi demonstrates an appalling level of unprofessionalism, berating me as an "idiot" when I attempted to follow up on a referral, displaying extreme rudeness and contempt. His understanding of neurodiversity is practically non-existent, and his grasp of female health is equally abysmal - he dismissively attributes everything to PCOS. Even more concerning, he has prescribed antibiotics despite my known allergies. The reception staff are equally terrible - monumentally lazy and discourteous, repeatedly booking me with physician's associates while falsely presenting them as doctors. These PAs deliberately conceal their actual roles, effectively impersonating medical professionals - something I only discovered after independently researching their website. In another infuriating incident, I endured a 45-minute wait while Nurse Kayani was eating in the kitchen, which I witnessed firsthand while reception staff searched for her. Upon filing a complaint, absolutely no action was taken.

Terrible service that fails patients completely

terrible customer support they're completely indifferent their priority seems to be attracting more clients through WhatsApp group advertisements, yet when actual assistance is required, they're perpetually unavailable - so what's the point of expanding their client base?

Compassionate doctor provides exceptional care and support

During our visit to this medical practice today, my husband sought treatment for his back discomfort. Dr. Anas demonstrated exceptional care, immediately scheduling an appointment for me with remarkable thoughtfulness. This level of attentive service was unprecedented in my previous experiences at this general practice, and I am genuinely grateful. I sincerely hope the practice maintains and enhances its quality of care moving forward. My heartfelt thanks go to Dr. Anas for his outstanding support.

Great doctors and staff at oakwood surgery

After switching from Iridium Medical Practice in Stechford to Oakwood Surgery, we couldn't be happier with our decision. The front desk staff greeted us warmly and helpfully guided us through the process, and Dr Anas was exceptional - displaying genuine care, empathy, and expertise. He provided outstanding attention to both myself and my spouse. We are truly delighted that we chose to change practices. Naeem Sarwar

Terrible healthcare experience with unresponsive medical practice

A truly dreadful medical practice that fails on every level. Despite repeated attempts to schedule an appointment, they consistently ignore communication. The physicians appear completely incompetent, routinely redirecting patients to the emergency department instead of providing actual care. What's the purpose of registering with a practice that demonstrates such profound uselessness? The reception staff are equally abysmal, displaying zero compassion and acting with total indifference towards patients' needs. Their lack of responsiveness is so extreme, it's like conversing with an unfeeling object. If possible, I would have awarded zero stars to highlight how utterly terrible this healthcare facility is!

Rude receptionist ruins first healthcare experience

A fresh batch of rapid-fire, hyperactive staff at the front desk does not bode well for the practice. Interpersonal communication skills for client interactions should be honed through training prior to recruitment or onboarding. For a long-standing patient seeking medical attention for a legitimate health concern, Malika at reception absolutely struck the wrong chord this morning. An insufferable personality that would have made for an unbearable phone exchange if prolonged. My inner dialogue compelled me to terminate the telephone conversation abruptly.

Exceptional care from outstanding staff at surgery

The surgical procedure was solid - like any medical service, there are imperfections, but overall they perform quite well. What truly stands out is their exceptional administrative staff, particularly an individual named Kauser, and an equally impressive nurse who shares the same name. 🙂
