Terrible doctors surgery with zero customer care
I wouldn't recommend this medical practice to anyone. During my time here, I've experienced 3 test results vanishing (all while pregnant with a water infection and in need of antibiotics) - this might not be their fault, but after discussing with other patients, they've reported similar experiences. Recently, I needed a prescription for my son from the hospital - the doctor only needed to add his signature (the hospital provided half the medicine quantity, so I needed the remaining dose from my doctor - prescription was ready, just requiring a signature). I dropped it off during the day and was told it would be completed the next morning. I returned around 11am and it wasn't done (told to come back after 2pm), returned around 3pm and it still wasn't ready, finally returning around 4:15pm and waiting over half an hour in the waiting room until it was signed. Contacting them by phone is bizarre - sometimes I hear a recording about busy lines, other times an engaged tone, occasionally just ringing. When connected, you must endure "if having a stroke, dial 999" and now an additional message from the doctor about reception staff, followed by numerous menu options - ultimately connecting to receptionists who seem clueless about your selection. It feels like a fake professionalism facade. (I find calling incredibly frustrating) - just answer the call. They have one pleasant receptionist (short-haired lady, friendly and helpful), but the others demonstrate poor interpersonal skills. One staff member is particularly abrupt, speaking loudly at the desk, ensuring everyone in the waiting room hears private conversations. She appears as dissatisfied with the practice as I am. My feelings about the doctors are mixed - I appreciate the female doctor (unsure if still practicing) and the children's injection nurse (Tracey), who is warm and friendly. However, Dr. Adams and Dr. Hagawel seem mood-dependent. When my newborn son had a severe eczema flare-up, Dr. Hagawel spoke as if it were my fault - fortunately, having lifelong eczema, I understood flare-ups happen randomly. A new mother unfamiliar with the condition might feel criticized about her parenting. To summarize - I rarely write negative reviews. I hope they'll read this and improve, allowing me to update my review positively next year. For now - 1 star.

Always punctual with their service. However, the booking process is incredibly frustrating, requiring an early morning phone call while trying to manage work commitments.

Outstanding care, just like every other time. When measured against the medical professionals my mother sees in Wednesfield, this general practice truly stands out as superior.
