“If you are currently looking for a Civil Surgeon for your I-693 immigration medical exam, I highly recommend contacting this office.
I had reached out to several doctor’s offices in the Birmingham area before this, but BHPC was almost the only place that provided a truly sincere and professional response. Most other offices never returned my calls, even after I left messages, and emails often went unanswered. Some places that did answer were quite unfriendly, and I even had experiences where I felt dismissed because of language barriers.
Because of those experiences, I didn’t expect much when I left a voicemail here — but I was honestly surprised to receive a call back in less than a day. The receptionist was very kind, explained everything clearly, and helped me schedule my appointment smoothly. Communication through email and text was also reliable and convenient. (Thanks, Angelo!)
During my visit, Dr. Efe was incredibly kind and created a calm, comfortable environment throughout the exam. I felt much less nervous than I expected. My results and documents were also ready exactly within the timeframe they had explained.
The process was fast and accurate, but what stood out most was that I consistently felt respected throughout the entire experience.
I strongly recommend this office to anyone needing immigration-related medical paperwork. I haven’t received other types of care here yet, but I would absolutely return if needed.”
“The wait time was totally ridiculous!!! I was waiting for 5 hours with no apology or explanation from the staff! We as patients are just as important as the medical team and deserve to be treated better!”
“The check ✔️ in was not in order Three people came in after me got seen by the Doctor before me. I waited for my name to be called. Whatever is needed at ✔️ in should be done after we sign in.
All documents that's need should be made known right then and not three hours later.

“I had been fighting a sinus infection / congestion for several weeks and decided to come in and get some help. Everything from scheduling online to check in and the care I got was a great experience. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Gardendale AFC did an outstanding job!”
“Staff very professional and empathetic (except front desk who was not friendly and acted performatively). Having to sign in via cell phone was a bit off-putting but med staff made up for the paperwork lack of humanity. In and out quickly, prescriptions handled quickly and correctly.”
“Seale Harris Clinic in Birmingham is the kind of medical office that manages to blend professionalism with a bit of Southern warmth. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you like you’re more than just the next appointment on the list. The waiting area is clean and organized—no weird smells, no blaring TV commercials, just a calm space that makes you feel like you’re in good hands.”
“Dr Alford is a great Dr. He takes his time with you and he does not rush through the office visit. He always remembers your name and does not use big words. He explains everything you need to know. My family love going to see home when they leave to seea Dr. If you need a Dr. Give him a try. I think you will like him.”
