Patient Experience Summary

Feedback on this GP practice reflects a mixed experience with significant contrasts in service quality. Many patients report substantial challenges with appointment availability and phone line responsiveness, describing lengthy waits to reach reception and difficulty securing timely slots. Reception experience issues and booking challenges emerge as recurring concerns, with some patients noting unprofessional interactions and lack of courtesy from front desk staff. However, a substantial body of positive feedback highlights compassionate doctors, professional medical staff, and welcoming reception experiences when appointments are secured. Patients consistently praise the care experience once consultations begin, with doctors demonstrating attentiveness and thorough communication.

The practice shows notable inconsistency in service delivery. While some patients report quick access and efficient booking, others describe frustrating phone experiences and unavailable appointments. Communication and responsiveness appear variable, with certain staff members receiving specific praise for their helpfulness and courtesy, suggesting improvements may be underway in some areas. The clean environment and professional medical team are frequently commended, though access difficulties and waiting time experiences remain significant pain points for a portion of the patient population.

Patients who have successfully navigated the booking process and attended appointments generally express satisfaction with the quality of clinical care and the courtesy of medical professionals. The practice appears to perform better once patients reach consultation stage, but the initial access experience represents a critical area requiring attention to improve overall patient satisfaction and confidence in the service.

Better service and caring doctor at new gp

This GP practice is a significant improvement from my previous clinic. At the old location, the reception would leave me hanging on the phone for 40 minutes, barely acknowledging me before abruptly cutting off the call, and this wasn't even during peak hours. Here in the hill, they're much more efficient and responsive, though there can be a slight delay around 8am. I've experienced some difficulty booking appointments, but that's fairly standard. Compared to my former clinic, where securing a slot could take weeks, this is manageable. Dr. Shioab is particularly excellent - a standout healthcare professional. I'm rating them 4 stars primarily because they lack water facilities, which would have made the experience perfect.

Worst customer service ever unprofessional and rude

Their staff seem to be completely incompetent, as I spent almost half an hour trying to reach someone, only to have the receptionist put me on mute and then abruptly hang up, making me suspect they're recruiting employees who are barely out of elementary school.

Fantastic dermatology care for my stubborn eczema

Recently relocated from Oakwood, I had my initial consultation today, and there's a noticeable improvement. While the process can still be somewhat lengthy, the telephone staff are absolutely exceptional. I mentioned my eczema struggles, and the receptionist promptly referred me to Dr. Armstrong, a dermatology specialist. I'm confident they've identified the most suitable cream for eczema sufferers. For patients dealing with this condition, I'd rate the experience as a solid 12/10.

Friendly gp with caring staff and clean facilities

Switched from my previous medical practice in Hall Green to this new one, and I find it's a significant improvement. Getting through on the phone can be a bit of a wait, but once connected, the process is incredibly swift and straightforward. The staff are remarkably efficient and responsive. The doctor I saw was genuinely kind and appeared to truly care about my well-being. I must commend them on maintaining exceptionally clean restroom facilities. My only suggestion would be to consider installing a Lota in the bathroom.

Compassionate care with minor booking system improvement

During my visit to the Hill general practice today, the physician who attended to me was compassionate and considerate. The personnel were also excellent. The sole suggestion I have is for them to adopt the NHS online booking system instead of requiring phone calls in the morning, as many individuals are working and unable to make calls during those hours. Apart from that, it was a thoroughly positive experience.

Zeba's kindness shines through exceptional customer service

I rarely take the time to leave feedback, but I must say, the receptionist Zeba is truly exceptional. Whenever I'm seeking an appointment, she consistently goes above and beyond to help secure timely slots for my mother, who suffers from heart complications, and my father, who is also unwell. Her compassionate communication and genuine care are remarkable. We desperately need more individuals like her in customer service. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for her continuous support and dedication. Wishing her all the best x

Fast care and friendly staff saved the day

Big thanks to Dr. Asim and the efficient front desk staff for their speedy service. I phoned at 8 and was seen within 20 minutes, with the booking process being smooth and hassle-free. Diagnosed with a severe chest infection, I received a prescription for antibiotics and picked them up the following day.
