Patients consistently report positive experiences across clinical and reception services, with particular praise for attentive listening, clear communication, and compassionate care during consultations. Appointment availability and booking responsiveness are frequently highlighted as strengths, with many patients noting prompt access to same-day or next-day slots and efficient virtual consultation systems. Reception staff are widely commended for their courtesy, professionalism, and willingness to go beyond standard assistance.
However, several service gaps emerge across the feedback. Delayed test result review represents a significant concern, with at least one patient reporting unopened test results remaining unaddressed for nearly two years. Phone access difficulties are mentioned by multiple patients, with some describing consistent redirection to voicemail or digital channels rather than speaking to staff directly. Prescription handling issues are also noted, including instances where pharmacy requests were reportedly ignored, leaving patients without medication. Additionally, one patient reported a marked decline in service quality following pandemic restrictions.
A small number of reviews describe unprofessional reception conduct and inadequate follow-up care, including one account of dismissive behaviour towards a disabled patient. These negative experiences contrast sharply with the predominant pattern of welcoming, efficient, and patient-focused service that characterises most feedback. The practice demonstrates particular strength in comprehensive consultations, prompt communication of test results, and supportive care coordination, though systemic improvements in telephone accessibility and proactive test result management would address identified gaps.

Horrible healthcare with abusive and unprofessional staff
Unacceptable mistreatment from medical personnel without justification on multiple instances. A paramedic called solely to verbally assault and intimidate me before abruptly ending the conversation. (I requested they review the call recording.) Additionally, a nurse discussed me inappropriately with another staff member in an unprofessional manner. I attempted to lodge formal complaints with the practice manager on two separate occasions, but received absolutely no response. These incidents occurred within the past quarter. Consequently, I have transferred to a different medical practice. If the rating system allowed, I would assign zero stars. They emphasize protecting staff from abuse, but what about protecting patients from harmful behavior?

Friendly service at pagham surgery with great doctor
The phone lines at the medical practice have been more responsive recently. Since my matter wasn't pressing, I didn't mind the waiting time, and they were accommodating with my availability. Dr. Glasspool, who was covering that day, was exceptionally friendly, compassionate, and conducted a comprehensive consultation at the Pagham clinic. Additionally, the front desk staff member was delightful and helpful.

Disappointing decline in once exceptional service
Over the years, I've consistently experienced top-tier care from this medical facility. Unfortunately, following the pandemic restrictions, the quality of service has markedly declined.

Quick and compassionate medical care saves the day
After reaching out to the medical office and sharing some images, I received a callback within sixty minutes and was promptly prescribed antibiotics. It would be challenging to find a more rapid or efficient service. My sincere appreciation goes out to the entire team.

Amazing care from a compassionate medical team
I reside in Birmingham, and while I personally don't use this medical facility, my mother does. She's encountered numerous health challenges, but I must highlight Louise, a staff member who is truly exceptional. She's an incredibly compassionate professional who consistently demonstrates remarkable dedication, truly embodying the best qualities of healthcare support. Additionally, Dr. Barton is equally impressive - a physician who genuinely listens to patients and shows genuine care. Overall, this is an outstanding medical practice that provides excellent, patient-centered service.

Quick and caring medical support for my child
I have absolutely no complaints about the medical care, particularly for my child. After completing an online consultation following a hectic bank holiday, I submitted my request at 11am and received a callback within sixty minutes, scheduling a doctor's appointment for my daughter that same afternoon. Whenever I have concerns about my little girl's health, she is consistently seen and examined quickly. The staff always reassure me that if her condition worsens, I should call back immediately and they will see her right away.

Compassionate doctor delivers exceptional patient care
Given the current strain on local medical practices, patients are now advised to explore alternative healthcare options or virtual consultations before seeking direct GP intervention. When a face-to-face appointment becomes available, patients often feel additional stress, worried about potentially squandering the doctor's valuable time. My consultation today at Grove House Surgery with Dr Perkins was truly remarkable. From the initial moment in the consultation room, Dr Perkins demonstrated a professional yet comfortable demeanor, dedicating his complete focus to comprehensively understanding my health concerns. His ultimate assessment was communicated with careful deliberation, and it was abundantly clear that he harbored a sincere commitment to my long-term wellness. While I hope future interactions are minimal, any patient fortunate enough to consult with him can be confident they are receiving top-quality care.
