About Us
Edgbaston Private Medical Practice was established in 2007 by Dr Sarj Bahia and his wife Mrs Ranjit Bahia.
Dr Bahia was a full time NHS GP at the time and became frustrated with the lack of time he had available to spend with each patient. At the same time his wife, Ranjit, was working as a community pharmacist and she would regularly get requests for a private GP. This gave both of them an opportunity to provide an additional service to what the NHS was able to offer.
The practice started off very part-time , offering evening and weekend appointments only. However, by 2013, Dr Bahia was able to see patients on a daily basis and he decided to leave the NHS to focus on the practice. Since then, and especially over the last 2 years, the demand for the service has grown and with it the number of doctors at the practice.
