Report
Nurse Jenifer is the best staff member in this surgery. She is very kind, patient, professional, lovely and friendly. She is always cooperative and helpful. I would give her 10 stars if I can. The reception staff, on the other hand are very rude, aggressive and careless. They are the worst staff I have ever seen. I would give them minus stars if I can.

Report
Appointments are much easier to get at birkby health centre compared to some other neighbouring practices and i learnt that the hard way when registered with my old neighbouring practice where it used to take me literally 5 weeks to get seen by a GP. Appreciate the lady manager at the practice, Visited last week and saw some faces which were very polite and welcoming. Could do with a bigger car park for my wheelchair accessible mini van. Thank you and happy new year

So called assistant manager Zohaib Isa is extremely rude and abusive to everyone over the phone, he has no people or customer service skills! We all need to report this appalling health centre to NHS Greater Huddersfield CCG (totally agree with other reviewers on this) Who will investigate thoroughly and how he was fraudulently employed at this practice by the Singh's.
Using Covid as an excuse for everything and refusing to book appointments for my mum! who was in a lot of pain. also taking over 4 weeks to process repeat prescriptions! apparently he is busier than the ICU wards at the hospital
