Patient Experience Summary

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.

Exceptional care for my children at grove house surgery

In recent months, Grove House Surgery has been exceptionally supportive of my young children and myself. Their team consistently ensures prompt appointments, never turning us away and often seeing us immediately. Throughout the winter, they've addressed our health concerns with remarkable understanding and without hesitation. The staff actively encourage seeking second opinions and have even extended their hours to accommodate our needs. I feel incredibly fortunate to have a local medical practice that prioritizes patient safety, dignity, and compassionate care. Their communication channels are always accessible, consultations are comprehensive and efficient, and their approach is genuinely patient-focused. The online system is robust, allowing easy appointment booking and service requests. Without reservation, I would recommend this surgery to my loved ones. Above all, the staff are warm, courteous, and genuinely caring. I cannot identify a single flaw in the service we've received. Heartfelt thanks to every staff member, both medical and administrative, with special appreciation for Dr Bramall, Dr Perkins, Dr Parkinson, Dr Sullivan, and Dr Owen.

Compassionate care made our blood test stress-free

Lauren demonstrated exceptional skill in handling my 7-year-old's anxiety during a blood draw! An additional staff member, whose name escapes me, entered the room and engaged my daughter in conversation, which helped calm both her and myself. Our subsequent consultation with Dr. Perkins was equally positive - he displayed a genuinely compassionate and gentle approach with my child. My sincere appreciation goes out to the entire team.

Exceptional care from grove house medical team

I found myself thoroughly impressed, yet again, by the swift communication from the physician concerning a recent X-ray. Remarkably, within just 60 minutes of my hospital visit, I received a text message detailing the results (which were reassuring). When I reached out to the practice, Shally at the front desk demonstrated exceptional competence and professionalism, promptly scheduling a telephone consultation. Although I'm not typically inclined to write reviews, Grove House has once more provided me with outstanding, top-tier service. My sincere appreciation goes to Shally and her colleagues.

Exceptional care for my lung health and copd

I received an exceptional consultation and the most comprehensive lung assessment ever at this clinic. The staff were incredibly professional, providing clear and understandable explanations throughout the process. During my follow-up visit today for my COPD, I encountered a truly remarkable nurse who stood out from all previous interactions. Unlike past experiences, she genuinely listened to my concerns and demonstrated real expertise. Her recommendation to switch to a new inhaler proved transformative, and over the Christmas period, I experienced significant improvement in my respiratory condition. Her professionalism, deep knowledge, and compassionate approach make her a valuable asset to the medical team.

Great pediatric care for the whole family

I visited twice this week with my young child and adolescent, and both received appointments within a couple of hours. Every staff member we encountered was welcoming, and the nurse practitioner Rachel was particularly gentle and compassionate when interacting with my daughter. We were seen precisely on schedule during both visits. The service was truly outstanding, and I'm very appreciative.
