Review titled Extraordinary calming care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by J. Johnson - Posted on 18 May 2023
17.5.2023 = We went to Tamworth House Medical Centre GP clinic, so worried with a possibility of a breast cancer scare and my HB pressure + ongoing hernia issues, we were seen by one of the Doctors who was so calming, reassuring, professional, friendly and indeed well knowledgeable. didn't rush us, gave us extra time and we left quite calm and very appreciative. Thank you Tamworth House Medical Centre for your good service and quick assistance. Thanks to the Doctor who seen us , you are just extraordinary and heavenly!!

Review titled Down hill gp
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Kirstie - Posted on 03 May 2023
Took over an hour to get through in the morning to be told there are no appointments available even though I have tonsillitis with a fever, it took for my chemist to email them that I need to be seen to get antibiotics and even then they were reluctant to give me an appointment and was gonna make me call the next morning. They also never have any appointments available online and the receptionist can be quite rude when trying to get an appointment or they use a new protocol to assess your needs when there isn’t any available appointments which just ends up them suggesting you call 999 for an ambulance for non a&e illnesses like sinusitis.

Review titled Dismissive Practice
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 April 2023
I have been a patient at Tamworth House Medical Practice for over 19 years and writing this review is a proper indicator of my dissatisfactory experience at the hands of a gp. She's a one of the long-serving gp [s] and her visible intolerance and impatience was dumbfounding. Bear in mind, I have been unable to get an appointment in real time for weeks. I was finally able to pre-booked one to arrive in a 2 weeks' time slot, at which time while waiting for my appointment, I ended up in a&e. Then a day later, my symptoms returned and I took time off work to attend my booked appointment. During the consultation, this gp interrupted me the whole without listening, she did not examine me and when I tried to update her on how my symptoms had alarmingly changed, since my visit to a&e with pink- urine which was now blood in my stool. She insisted that a&e had nil results. She went ahead to prescribe indigestion medication based on her assumption! Thanks to a very discerning receptionist who saw how upset I was, I was able to see another gp and I am waiting for results. So, I would recommend this Surgery, however, I would warn them not to consult with this particular gp.

The whole team at the practice is really helpful and thorough in caring for patients and in follow-up. The admin staff are welcoming and efficient, and the doctors very attentive. The practice accommodation is well laid out and convenient, with parking and with a chemist next door. Highly recommended.

Review titled Very satisfied patient
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jennifer wrombel - Posted on 20 December 2022
Tamworth House Medical Practise provides a great service and I have no complaints whatsoever. The receptionists have always treated me well. They always answer the phone in a timely manner when the NHS is under extreme pressure. They are polite and respectful and do whatever is possible. I was recently referred to WideWay Hub same day appointment which suited me perfectly and not very far I didn’t have to take time off from work. Perfect. The Doctors are great to. Never had a problem with them. Great listening and communication skills. I really can’t say one bad word about the service
