It was found that i needed glasses for reading etc so of i went to chose what ones i wanted. The staff were really helpful and helped me find ones that suited me and recomended some others for me to try. The price was fine and good for the value of glasses i got. I didn have to wait to long for the glasses to come back in stock ready for me to take home. Over all i thought i received a good service and i would recommened this to any body who was needing there eyes checked.

I have to admit that I only ever rarely shopped at boots until I was able to take advantage of…read moretheir advantage card (no pun was intended there). It is a great store because you can buy pretty much everything you need under one roof which I am definitely a great fan of. I find that I tend to buy most of my holiday items from here such as sun tan lotion, sunglasses and fly sprays and bite creams. You can also get photos developed at many boots stores. They sell baby clothes, beauty products, electricals such as hair dryers ect and fragrance. They also have a pharmacy where you can buy your prescriptions. I think boots is well known for its 3 for 2 products, which make good stocking fillers and save you some cash. The staff are always very helpful and friendly and they have plenty of tills with staff on them all the time, you rarely get an unstaffed till.

Boots is the pharmacy/health and beauty equivalent of a supermarket. It's got a pharmacy section on…read morethe top floor, with pretty much every medicine you could think of and well-trained staff. The ground floor has health and beauty products ranging from sanitary products to bubble bath to make-up. Pretty much all mainstream brands are in here and Boots own-brand products are often exactly the same as more expensive equivalent brands, but half the price. They do a small range of food and drink for snacks and lunchtime, which tries to be healthy, but is just the same as you can get in most high street shops that are trying to diversify into lunches. Keep an eye out for lunch deals where you can get a sandwich, snack and drink combo deal for a good price.

I find this store a good place to shop as not only is everything set out in a way where everything is found easily, but also it is also a lot cheaper than certain other stores. It has every basic cosmetic need and despite it being much cheaper, the quality of the make-up is as good as the more expensive version found in other shops and the store is never over crowded. All the staff in any superdrug that I have been to have always been kind, warm, helpful and friendly towards me.

I've been trying to be very patient with this store over the past year as its the closest pharmacy…read morewith decent hours, but I have to say, it's really quite awful. The people are friendly enough if you ever get to talk to them, but they don't answer the phone. If you can even get through - it gives the engaged signal more often than not! - the pharmacy team doesn't answer the phone for hours and hours. You can call repeatedly and just sit and listen to it ring and nobody answers about 90% of the time. I have a small child in a stroller so I have to use the lift to get to the pharmacy, and about 50% of the time when we go, the lift is broken. Again, the staff are very friendly and try to be helpful when they let us use the freight elevator, but it's dark and screechingly loud, so the baby pretty much screams for a good 15 minutes after that. It's gotten so bad now that if she sees we're going back to that other elevator, she starts having an immediate meltdown. This pharmacy offers "automatic" repeat prescription service, but it is NEVER automatic. You have to call them and badger them to actually get it repeated (and when they don't answer the phone, that's very difficult and can take DAYS OF CALLING). Even once they do get the prescription in order, they don't send the text that it's ready for days and days. Sometimes I've called, confirmed my prescription has been sitting for days, I come and collect it, and then two days later I get the text saying it's ready. I've had them test text me in the store and it works, so it's not my phone. It's something in their system, or else a human is not marking something for a text to go out, or something. Really poor service for those of us who need our regular medications. If they weren't affiliated with my clinic, I'd leave and never return. In fact I'm thinking if I can't get this current phone call through by noon, I'm just going to leave. I've really had it. Not answering the phone is unacceptable.

Now, Birmingham... Let's talk Health. I have reviewed my Dentist and my Doctor, but there are a…read morehost of other places in Birmingham which are striving to keep us fighting fit. For my services which are not teeth related, I use the multiple places in Boots. Boots (as you will already know) is a chain pharmacy and beauty store - available in train stations, city centres and most places where you may need to grab a pack of paracetamol or some plasters. This boots, however, offers a whole host of other services you may need for a range of health needs. Upstairs are your beauty counters, hygiene products and gifts (the discount on gifts after christmas is particularly good - offering 50% - 70% off), but on the lower floor are it's other services. If you pop on the escalators and head downstairs you'll find an optician, an NHS walk-in, a doctors surgery, Birmingham Uni dentists and a sexual health clinic. With the doctors surgery and dentist, you will need an appointment. The optician will see walk-ins (depending on how busy they are) and the sexual health clinic and NHS centre are totally walk-in led. This, obviously, can lead to long waiting times - but if you desperately need a doctor and can't get an appointment at your local clinic, this place is a lifesaver (probably quite literally). As well as the various medical services I have mentioned, Boots offers a "stop smoking" clinic and other health led initiatives. When I first moved into Birmingham City Centre I had no idea where my local health services would be (I was dreading having to catch a bus out of town), so for all of those who work or live in the City - this place is your one stop shop for when you're feeling off or need some supplies.

There's also the more seasonal items. Currently there are sunglasses and lotions located towards the back of the store. It's never been overly busy when i've been there even at 5pm on a weekday which is perfect if you want to spend a bit more time browsing. The meal deal is a good price (£3.49 at last check) and it includes a sandwich/wrap, a drink and a snack (up to the value of £1.25 so go for the larger ones!). The service is always quick as there's never really a queue which is great if you're in a rush.
