The staff here are absolutely fantastic, and the service is top-notch. Every single employee I encountered was welcoming and went out of their way to assist me. I couldn't find a single thing to criticize about my experience.

Terrible service doctors rely on patients to diagnose

It's nothing like it used to be. Booking appointments is impossible, and now you're expected to self-diagnose. When I inquired with the staff about seeing the doctor after a call, I was told no. I'm unclear on the point of this medical practice. Since symptoms can overlap across conditions, how can they determine proper treatment without examining the issue? Seems like they're pushing most of their diagnostic work onto me. I've been forced to use my routine check-up just to get any attention. I previously recommended this GP to others - a decision I now deeply regret. I've been informed they won't prescribe anything during a general consultation. They're completely ineffective and I wouldn't suggest them to anyone. I didn't even want to give a single star, but I had no alternative. They deserve a zero rating.

Surprisingly great medical centre with friendly staff

During my initial appointment at this healthcare facility today, I found myself pleasantly surprised, contrary to the low-rated review I had previously seen. The front desk staff demonstrated exceptional friendliness, and the physician was equally welcoming and professional.

Terrible medical centre with negligent and unhelpful staff

I want to start by acknowledging that some of the younger medical staff at Grove Medical Centre are truly exceptional and supportive. However, it seems they don't remain long-term. Having been registered here for 8 years, I've found the past 4 years to be worryingly substandard. Securing an in-person GP appointment is virtually impossible. Recently, a psychologist sent a letter recommending an urgent health check, yet the GP scheduled a phone consultation. Despite my attempts to arrange an in-person visit and referencing the professional's concerns, I was repeatedly redirected. When I followed their instruction to call at 8am, I was inexplicably transferred to an external out-of-hours service, which again offered only a phone appointment. The bureaucratic obstacles to receiving face-to-face medical care are completely bewildering. During my pulsatile tinnitus episode, I never received an in-person examination. Multiple phone consultations resulted in three antibiotic prescriptions without any physical inspection. They even suggested I visit Scrivens for an ear check. The professional there was astounded that I'd been prescribed antibiotics repeatedly without a proper examination, confirming I never had an ear infection. Eventually, I secured an in-person appointment and ENT referral, but this process consumed six months - potentially risking my health through unnecessary medication. I have numerous similar experiences with this practice. Their management is fundamentally flawed. My strong recommendation is to seek alternative healthcare providers if possible. In my experience, they seem primarily responsive only to potential cancer-related concerns.

Terrible customer service at this establishment

The front desk staff demonstrate an appalling lack of customer service, consistently displaying an unwelcoming and obstructive attitude towards guests.

Dangerous software that risks personal information

Steer clear of signing up anyone in your household, including yourself.

Terrible medical practice with dangerous referral errors

It's truly disappointing that a zero-star option doesn't exist. The staff, including both administrative personnel and medical professionals, display a complete lack of empathy. For the second time this year, my family has been subjected to an incorrect referral. When we contacted them to highlight that an urgent referral was erroneously categorized as routine, their response was that all general practitioners had departed for the day - and this was before 1 PM. We're not naive enough to accept such a transparent excuse. Their behavior is utterly disgraceful. My recommendation is clear: seek medical care elsewhere and avoid this incompetent practice!

Unacceptable medical care from an unprofessional doctor

Completely unacceptable conduct demonstrated by Dr Pushparajah.

Terrible medical experience with uncaring doctor

Communicating with staff is a futile endeavor. There's a complete absence of compassion or patient consideration. Specifically, Dr. Pushparajah demonstrates an appalling lack of professionalism, displaying an extremely dismissive and harsh demeanor.

Compassionate care with helpful medical professionals

Received exceptional care from the front desk staff and physicians, who consistently demonstrate a commitment to patient support. Mental health support specialist on-site. If you're seeking mental health guidance, I recommend exploring additional resources or consulting the NHS 111 service. Overall, an impressive 9/10 experience.

Terrible service and disrespectful staff beware

The service was absolutely terrible, and the staff were incredibly disrespectful. They showed complete disregard for customer well-being and seemed to have no concern for people's health.

Terrible healthcare experience with uncaring medical staff

Absolutely terrible customer service where even the medical professionals seem indifferent to patient concerns and input.

Terrible service and incompetent medical staff nightmare

This medical facility is absolutely the most disappointing I've encountered. Their front desk staff are entirely incompetent and can't even handle basic telephone communication. Whenever I'm required to interact with them, they prove to be completely ineffective and unhelpful.

Awful surgery with terrible service and rude doctor

This medical practice is absolutely the most terrible in the entire Waltham Forest area, and I strongly advise finding an alternative healthcare provider. Their phone lines are perpetually unattended, and Dr. Pushparajah is hands-down the most discourteous physician I've ever encountered, displaying a complete absence of interpersonal communication abilities. It's genuinely astonishing that this clinic continues to operate!!!

Compassionate care through decades of medical challenges

Throughout my 23-year journey with Grove Medical Centre, I've consistently experienced exceptional care and support from every member of their team, including physicians, reception personnel, and physiotherapists. They have been instrumental in helping me navigate through several challenging medical conditions, most notably my battle with Colitis, which was quickly followed by the necessity of critical heart surgery. The compassionate and professional approach of this medical practice has been nothing short of remarkable, and I am deeply appreciative of the comprehensive healthcare I have received during my time as their patient.

Discriminatory doctor with deeply troubling behavior

Dr. Pushparaja demonstrates a clear bias against Muslims. Throughout my two decades with this medical practice, she has repeatedly made disparaging remarks about hijabs and Muslim women. The remaining physicians are elderly and ill-tempered.
