Their seating area is very spacious and provides various televisions to watch and wait from many angles of the room. They also display several informative and helpful posters in which you read and keep yourself occupied while waiting. They don't keep you waiting for long though which is a great plus side to any of those in urgent need of seeing a doctor. As I peered around the room it doesn't seem as though they provide anything for children which isn't that good for kids that need to get easily distracted. All in all, I think that Weoley Castle's Millennium Medical Centre has a fast and efficient way of registering as well as being seen by a doctor or nurse. Definitely recommended to those who live locally.

Within 2 hours I had my appointment with Dr Mohammed (as requested) for a day that suited me. My appointment as always was superb, Dr Mohammed always remembers me, gives excellent advice and gives the best (pain free) hydrocortisone injections! I have been with this practice all of my life and seen them grow from Dr Mr and Dr Mrs Mcrann. to the state of the art care they now offer. yes, they get busy, but if needed a doctor will always see you. The reception staff are patient, kind and caring too.

I have been going to Harborne Medical Practice for years. Without wanting to bore you too much with…read moremy medical history (which is rather boring anyway and mainly consists of dodgy throats and the occasional jippy shoulder) I can say that every doctor I've seen here has been absolutely lovely - even when I've got carried away and misdiagnosed myself with something rare and life threatening (the joys of looking up symptoms on Google eh?) and it turns out all I've got is a slight case of tonsillitis. Which kills by the way. It's a big place with regular smoking cessation, diabetes and stress clinics. They have a team of very nice nurses and the reception staff are smiley and kind. They used to play rather annoying muzak but seem to have stopped that in recent years, although the kiddies soft toy play area can sometimes get a bit noisy - not ideal if you are a migraine sufferer. You can always get an appointment - the only downer is the lack of reading material - Golf magazines and leaflets on COPD feature heavily. Hopefully you won't need to use a doctor much, but if you do find yourself looking for one in the Harborne area, then this comes recommended.

The first time I visited Shifa herbs I was going with an open mind, they were both so welcoming,…read moreand Shaf spent such a long time explaining everything to me, he is so passionate about what he does and is so good at it, the warmth and care is there right from the minute you walk in the door! But the results are what have obviously helped me the most, my stiffness in my knees has eased, my guts regular and not painful in any way, my headaches have lessened and the only ones I have had have not been as debilitating as they were, and usually because I have not drunk enough water! I sleep well, have more energy and feel less sluggish during the day, my motivation has improved, thought, clarity and focus seems better at work he is just an amazing healer and so full of passion and information to empower you further to heal yourself, I have made some small life changes which have had massive impacts thanks to you Amazing and wonderful human being who has helped me more than he could ever know.

Salaam My father was diagnosed with colon cancer 2020 we…read morewere told through friends about shifa herbs we went for the consultation and shaf explained the treatment and diet step by step my father was really hopeful and said shaf was a very genuine man and was happy with his advice.my father started chemo also but really was adamant to start shafs herbs also. My father was a very active healthy man however with chemo he lost abit of weight. But after 5 round of chemo We was not sure if we should stop the chemo as it gave my father a blood clot in his leg and also fluid in his lungs shaf did advise not to have chemo and I wish we hadn't done the chemo. But my father did think the treatment might work unfortunately the chemo did not shrink the tumour instead spread the cancer. The herbs helped pain and stop the mucus my father felt so well with the herbs. He had his fluid drained twice but the second time the doctors said they couldn't do anything for him I contacted shaf for advice he gave us a change of herbs to help with the fluid after a week we took my father to a private oncologist he told us their was no fluid just a spread of cancer however the NHS doctors had told my father he had so much fluid that was uncontrollable I do think shafs herbs did work to also control the fluid. He was diagnosed in March 2020 and passed away October 2020 However my father sadly passed away at home after 3 weeks on a beautiful day Friday and was buried on Friday after jumaah prayers he passed away so peacefully. I believe Allah SWT knows best he is the best of planner,his death was written this way sometimes you can have the best treatment or You can have the best doctor but it's whatever Allah SWT wills. Personally I think chemo doesn't give a cure to cancer and if it does after a few years you are dealing with a cancer spread. My father was a great humble man A beautiful caring loving soul may Allah SWT grant my father the highest rank of jannatul firdous and may his grave be full of noor and may we meet again inshallah my father always thought of shaf to be a very genuine trustworthy man he gave us good support and hope however everything was in Allah SWT hands and we accept his plans

It seems a bit odd to review a hospital - particularly if you've ended up in the A&E department -…read moreI'm guessing most people would rather forget their stints there. However, I was pretty impressed with the quality of care that both I and a friend of mine received at the hands of the staff there. First - my friend: he was knocked over by a car in Selly Oak. Despite landing on his head (ouch) he was duly patched up in no time, and, having received immediate care and attention from the staff at Selly Oak, managed to come away with no ongoing injuries other than a slightly broken finger. They were extremely quick to respond, completely sorted him out and were really understanding with both him and us as we all piled down to A & E to see him. I was taken in as I had a bad asthma attack that my inhaler didn't seem to be able to sort out. They immediately shunted me up he queue in terms of seeing a doctor (I think this is policy with asthma) who sorted me out in about 5 mins! He was really attentive and thorough - which can be difficult when you're seeing 10 patients a second in A&E. To compare, I had a similar occurrence in Wolverhampton, and had to wait 3 HOURS before a doctor saw me - and even then he kept drifting in and out. So, well done Selly Oak. It's good to know that the injured of south Birmingham are in safe hands.

Selly Oak Hospital is now exclusively a military hospital and it fills me with a great sense of…read morepride that a Birmingham hospital takes care of the needs of injured servicemen and women. Previously for many years prior to the building of the new super hospital this establishment also took care of civilians. In fact both my mother and grandmother were taken here for different illnesses and I have to say that despite my general aversion to hospitals, Selly Oak always provided wonderful care. A further note, hospital food including that in the canteen is usually notoriously bad. However on more than one occasion I have to admit I actually ENJOYED a canteen meal from this hospital. Hospital's are never are a good place to visit but the people of Birmingham should take pride in the achievements of Selly Oak Hospital as it serves those who make tremendous sacrifices in order to protect our country.
