Appointment Accessibility

Pros:

  • "Surgery is modern and has the facility for online booking etc and it is great that other services i.e. pharmacy and nurses suite is attached."
  • "Yes it hard to get an appointment but I have had consistently good experiences with Drs here in particular with Dr KYPRIANOU who basically changed my life with her migraine care. I highly recommend this practice."
  • "I was then able to make a further appointment online and saw the Doctor the next day."
  • "Appointment made online and I was seen within a few days."
  • "I always booked my appointment online using patient access. I have to keep checking to see if any appointments came available. But that’s better than waiting in a long queue on the phone."
  • "Having called on the dot of 08.00 I was 32 in the queue. However, the wait was only 20 minutes."
  • "Called today at 09:35AM as thought I had a Uni. Got through within 15 minutes and a call back within 2 hours."

Cons:

  • "It is almost impossible to get appointments now."
  • "This is possibly the worst GP surgery for getting appointments in the West Midlands if not UK."
  • "With almost 30,000 patients and only around 20 doctors (some of which may only be part-time) there simply aren’t enough doctors at the practice which would explain why it’s impossible to get an appointment to see one!"
  • "You can never get an appointment told to ring at 8 in the morning when you get through you are told no appointments call back at 12 you call back and at 1202 all appointments are taken total waste of time."
  • "Been calling the surgery every day for weeks and the shortest hold time was over 70 minutes."
  • "I phoned at 8am, as soon as the phone lines opened and I was 66th in the queue."
  • "I’ve just called to extend my sick note while I go through cancer treatment was told I can’t request an extension until it runs out... Receptionist finally agreed to do it for me “this time” like she’s doing me a favour."

Staff and Service Quality

Pros:

  • "A huge credit to the practice."
  • "Thank you so much Dr Radstone!"
  • "The lady on reception was lovely to her and comforted her."
  • "All the doctors I have been seen by at the surgery have been caring, compassionate and extremely helpful. I am never rushed during an appointment and always feel as if they have listened."
  • "Thanks to those at Lion Health who show up and do their job everyday - you all deserve 5 stars."
  • "I can't thank the Lion Centre enough for their great service!"
  • "The location and building are great along with the parking facilities. Check in is very efficient if you use the automated wall terminals. Staff are lovely."

Cons:

  • "Would like to be able to give this dreadful organization a zero rating."
  • "Usually it’s rude people that answer and unhelpful."
  • "phone lines cut you off, reception staff rude and when trying to complain about the continued poor service the response was 'I've only just met you so it's not me!'"
  • "Receptionist are very rude trying to get you off the phone as quick as possible not allowing you to discuss with them."
  • "Spoke to male receptionist very rude unhelpful."
  • "Some of the staff answering the phones are patronising and rude, there is no duty of care."
  • "The reception staff are rude, but I believe this is because they’re stressed and pushed to the limit."

  • "Arriving at the health centre, I only had to wait less than 10 minutes to be seen."

Cons:

  • "I’ve just taken my mom for her appointment here and the lighting is terrible for your eyes."
  • "It's a very large and very very busy practice."
  • "Anyway it’s a nice modern clean environment but besides having the pharmacy and a dentist in situ please have an opticians based here as you need one having to wait in this dimly lit area."
  • "Honestly the place is let down only by the rudeness of the pharmacy staff."
  • "It's terrible can never get a appointment always end up in a&e or calling 111."
  • "Trying to get an appointment or speak to prescriptions is a nightmare."
