Doctors

Same doctor as we had way back to the 1940’s both father and son were great doctors ,thanks for sharing and reminding me
They had there Surgery in a house on the Coleshill Road then moved to present premises over the road from clock garage where the 3 generation grandson is a Doctor, and if i am correct they have a another surgery in Hazelhurst Road off the chester road,
As you used Chitnis did you live close by ¿ i lived in Millinghton Road
 
Dr Sankanraya with that voice, Dr Bamfird with the beard Dr Thomas came later and Dr Shah later still. They were based on Cherrywood Road first up to 1979 then moved to Templefield St Number 10 opposite the Birmingham City Football ground I know as they were my doctors
 
My GP, in Perry Barr from 1984, was Dr. Indu Chakma, who'd come from Bangladesh to the UK back in 1965. What a lovely man he was! Always cheerful, and had time to listen to you. Once, I felt quite ill and asked to see him as a matter of urgency. I staggered into his surgery, he took one look at me, and said "you have a chest infection." This was before I'd even sat down!! He was spot on with his diagnosis, though.
Dr. Chakma died on this day in 2014, and I always spare a thought and a prayer for him, and his family.

Jeannie If i remember old Dr Chitnis as we called him was a small man with Glasses, his son was much taller, this was back in the sixty's, dont think old Chitnis worked much as he must of been retirement age, his son must be if still alive in his late eighty's now

Old Doctor Chitnis was as you describe him, he looked after my mum when my 76 year old sister was born, she’s 4 years older than I am, I still remember Old Doctor Chitnis but saw more of his son at the surgery opposite the church on I think it was Chester road, been left Dear old Brum since 1969 ,the son was still there in 1982 when my late father died so like you say in his 80’ s maybe more

How lovely to have 3 generations as a doctor
 
Our doctor was Dr. Butler and his wife whose practice was in a house on Reservoir Road Erdington. It was a few doors from the shops, Stockland Green end. He and his wife were also surgeons and did small operations in the back room. I had an abcess on my ear and they put me to sleep and lanced it. I wont go into all the gory details of some days later. But before they lanced it I had to have it plastered with the old black jack ointment for a week before hand. It really stunk. But they were wonderful doctors and mom nearly had a heart attack when he told her he was retiring
 
The Villa Doc's

Dr Massey Senior, and his two sons Dr Paul and Dr Michael.

Maybe better known as 'The Villa Doctors'?
Initially practised on the corner of Park Lane Aston......later moving to Church Lane, Handsworth. Pioneering the transition from single handed GP practises to the Family Medical Centres.
Gp's always used to know the 'family members', recognising you by sight and remembering your name........and everything about you!
I remember my family renting a house for a couple of years off Dr. Massey for our holidays down at Looe, Cornwall. It was on the front overlooking the sea.
 
Dr. Montague Rosenfield is my relative. His grandfather was David Tumpowsky of Wolverhampton - great grandfather of actors brothers David and Clive Swift. Does anyone have a photo of Dr Montague? I know he had daughters, one of his daughters is Linda Rosenfield. His sisters were Leah and Ray Rosenfield of Belfast.
 
He was my grandfather. He died in 1997. He was married to Leah and had two daughters Linda and Jacqueline. I will dig out a photo if I can. He always told stories about being a GP in Birmingham and whenever he was in hospital in his later years at the general he would get a heroes welcome!
