Patient feedback reveals a mixed experience across appointment access, booking processes, and reception interactions. While many patients praise the welcoming environment, professional medical staff, and efficient service delivery, significant concerns emerge around appointment availability and booking challenges. Several patients report difficulties securing in-person consultations, with some experiencing frustration when attempting to book appointments or reach the practice by phone. Reception experience shows notable inconsistency, with some patients describing courteous and helpful staff, whilst others report dismissive or unhelpful interactions during booking attempts.
The practice demonstrates particular strength in clinical care delivery, with patients consistently commending the courtesy, competence, and reassurance provided by medical professionals during consultations and procedures. Communication through digital platforms such as e-consult receives positive feedback for responsiveness and efficiency. However, responsiveness issues persist in other areas, particularly regarding phone accessibility and message relay. Patients also highlight accessibility and cleanliness as positive features, including convenient parking, well-maintained facilities, and clear organisation of spaces.
Key areas requiring attention include streamlining appointment booking processes, improving phone system accessibility during peak hours, and ensuring consistency in reception experience across all staff interactions. The practice environment and care quality are generally well-regarded, but service reliability across all access points would benefit from further development.

Missed Appointments and Terrible Staff Support
The medical center has been a complete disaster from start to finish. Their referral process is non-existent, with lost specimens and missed appointments being the norm. Sophie from the mental health team consistently failed to show up, and the staff's communication is patronizing and dismissive. Practice manager Aimee Wiseman demonstrates zero accountability for the systematic failures that have severely impacted patient care. When I attempted to discuss the poor service at Aimee's own suggestion, she refused to meet, despite my clear need for reasonable adjustments - which strongly appears to constitute disability discrimination. My recommendation is to bypass their internal complaint process entirely and seek legal representation immediately. I've been systematically failed, disregarded, and humiliated by the Grove Medical Centre's staff repeatedly. The only reason I haven't transferred elsewhere sooner is due to previous advice about pending treatments and diagnoses - many of which were unnecessarily prolonged because of the staff's persistent incompetence.

Worried Mom Waiting on Urine Test
I sought medical assistance for my 8-year-old, who had been running a fever for a week and hadn't responded to prescribed antibiotics. A phone consultation with a physician followed, but the process of even reaching them was frustratingly time-consuming. To make matters worse, I'm still waiting on a urine test that was supposedly urgent three months ago. The test was meant to be done immediately, yet here we are, months later. It feels like my child's health is being treated as an afterthought. Don't the well-being of children matter anymore? 🤦🏻

Rude Receptionist Upset My Grandad
My grandfather is a patient at this medical practice and has consistently praised their team, but a recent interaction with a receptionist deeply distressed him. According to his account, the staff member was incredibly discourteous, dismissive, lacking compassion, and consistently interrupted him while he was speaking. Moreover, she interrogated him about his physical capabilities in a condescending way, questioning whether he was confined to his home. I am thoroughly disappointed by how my senior grandfather was treated during this telephone conversation. The front desk personnel absolutely must improve their approach to customer service.

Quick and Caring Endoscopy Visit
Underwent an endoscopic procedure. Ample parking options, with extra spaces just a short walk away if the main lot is occupied. The appointment proceeded seamlessly and punctually, with staff members who were exceptionally welcoming, compassionate, helpful, and well-informed. Facilities include dedicated parking for individuals with disabilities, accessible entry points, and restroom accommodations. Additionally, a pharmacy is conveniently located adjacent to the facility. Overall, a highly satisfactory and reassuring experience.

Foot Pain Turned Serious at Last Minute
DISMISSED!! Spouse experiencing foot issues, so called and consulted with Nurse practitioner, who recommended seeing physio (who provided incorrect assessment). No progress, so made second call. Again spoke to nurse practitioner who suggested contacting Riverside Clinic. That seemed more promising! Third call and FINALLY met with doctor. Instantly referred to HOSPITAL with a completely different and accurate diagnosis!! Now undergoing surgical procedure!!
