Compassionate care through a challenging cancer journey
Dealing with cancer brings overwhelming anxiety during the waiting period for test results.

Compassionate care during my challenging cancer journey
During my chemotherapy journey, I've encountered some challenging moments. However, the support I've received from Ridgeway has been absolutely exceptional. Every team member, from the welcoming receptionist to Dr Davies and my dedicated district nurse Margaret, has made me feel genuinely supported and cared for. Their compassion and professionalism have been a true comfort during this difficult time. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to all of them.

Painless blood test from an amazing phlebotomist
I underwent blood work today with Kim, and it was my first time in around three decades due to my intense fear and tendency to pass out. She was incredibly skilled and professional, managing to put me at ease and draw blood so smoothly that I barely noticed. She truly represents the highest standard of care at this medical practice.

Compassionate care that goes above and beyond
An exceptional medical team that truly embodies compassion! Dr Richard Davies stands out as an outstanding physician, demonstrating remarkable empathy and unwavering support for my young daughter during her various health challenges. The Ridgeway Surgery absolutely merits top-tier recognition!

Disappointing decline in once great medical practice
This medical practice has significantly deteriorated, to the point where I, along with other local residents, have transferred to Grey Gables. It's truly disheartening, as the practice was exceptional during Dr Cowburn's tenure. I'm genuinely delighted with my decision to switch surgeries, as I had forgotten what genuine patient care and quality service truly meant until now.

Amazing medical care at local practice
I've found this medical practice to be outstanding among those in Redditch. Whenever I've required medical attention, they've been incredibly supportive and have ensured I receive appropriate additional care when needed. The appointments always feel unhurried, and I genuinely feel listened to. Their system allows me to secure a consultation by calling first thing in the morning, which works perfectly. I haven't encountered any negative interactions with any of the staff, and Dr Meredith was particularly impressive during a recent consultation. Moreover, the reception team consistently demonstrates warmth and professionalism, always ready to assist patients with kindness and efficiency.

Frustrating healthcare system with zero helpful support
Attempting to schedule a medical appointment, and the staff's sole advice is to call back tomorrow morning precisely at 8:20 am - how frustrating!

Awful medical care leaves patient frustrated and suffering
What an utterly frustrating medical experience! After urgent blood tests at the Alex, I arrived in severe pain seeking pain relief medication. When I inquired at 12:59 about getting a prescription, I was dismissively told I must return for an emergency appointment. I requested a doctor's call since I was following doctor's orders to rest, but was met with obstruction. These receptionists are clearly overstepping their bounds, inappropriately determining the severity of medical situations they're not qualified to assess! Petty bureaucrats. Considering relocation to Inkberrow. Absolutely unacceptable.

Terrible healthcare experience with unprofessional medical staff
These medical professionals are absolutely terrible. They've mistreated my mother so poorly that she's now terrified of returning. The front desk personnel desperately need to learn basic customer service and improve their atrocious attitude - they're incredibly discourteous.
