Patient feedback reveals a starkly divided experience at this practice. Many patients praise the medical professionals for compassionate care, effective treatment, and a welcoming environment, with particular recognition for clinical expertise and attentiveness during consultations. However, significant operational challenges dominate the feedback, with widespread complaints about appointment access, phone system failures, and long waiting times. Patients consistently report difficulty reaching the practice by phone, with calls frequently disconnected or left unanswered, and describe same-day booking systems that fill within minutes of opening. Reception experience varies considerably, with some patients noting courteous and supportive staff while others report discourteous behaviour and poor responsiveness to patient concerns. The practice environment itself receives positive mentions regarding cleanliness and welcoming premises. A recurring theme involves extended waiting periods both for appointments and in-person visits, alongside concerns about disorganisation and lack of communication regarding wait times or appointment status.
While clinical care quality appears generally valued, the booking experience and communication failures create significant frustration. Patients express particular concern about the gap between the quality of medical care and the administrative barriers preventing access to it. Some long-term patients acknowledge systemic NHS pressures may contribute to scheduling difficulties, yet the combination of phone system problems, limited appointment availability, and inconsistent reception courtesy remains a substantial barrier to patient satisfaction. The practice would benefit from addressing these operational and communication challenges to better support patients seeking medical attention.

Caring staff make grove surgery exceptional
Grove surgery offers a warm and inviting healthcare environment. The reception team, including Parveen and Clare, consistently demonstrate exceptional kindness and support, particularly when assisting my aging and unwell parents. I wholeheartedly endorse this medical practice to anyone seeking compassionate care. My sincere appreciation goes to their wonderful staff.

Elderly patient struggles with online medical system
Grove medical surgery has undergone recent modifications. Previously, the reception team was incredibly supportive, helping me obtain medications by assisting me when I explained my needs. Considering my restricted internet connectivity and limited technological proficiency, I was surprised when they recently instructed me to place my medication order ONLINE. Being 80 years old, I am still unfamiliar with many internet-related tasks. I strongly appeal to Dr. Mughal and the management to enable reception staff to continue supporting elderly patients like myself who lack computer expertise.

Exceptional care from compassionate medical professionals
I couldn't ask for a better general practitioner. The entire team is incredibly courteous and efficient, and they accurately identified my health issue and quickly prescribed the right medication. Huge thanks to Dr. Mogul - I'm truly grateful for their exceptional care.

Terrible experience at overcrowded medical clinic
Completely pointless experience, squandered an entire day waiting around. Medical staff were consistently behind schedule and disorganized.

Terrible healthcare service that left me stranded
I was abruptly removed from their patient system without any explanation or prior notification, which I only realized when I urgently needed medical attention. When I contacted the office, the receptionist coldly instructed me to re-register, then wait two weeks before being able to schedule an appointment, and summarily dismissed my concerns. The potential health risks during this two-week waiting period are deeply troubling and could lead to serious consequences.

Terrible service for urgent medical care needed
Every morning, I struggle to schedule an appointment. My wife recently gave birth, and our newborn is experiencing breathing difficulties, urgently requiring medical attention. The clinic's phone system is frustratingly unreliable - calls are frequently answered only to be abruptly disconnected. After enduring lengthy waiting periods, I'm repeatedly told "no appointments available". All slots seem to vanish by 8:15 AM, with call booking starting precisely at 8:00 AM. For three weeks now, I've been attempting to secure a medical consultation, and I'm completely bewildered about the purpose of having a general practitioner. The reception staff and management are exceptionally unhelpful and display an unacceptably rude attitude. This entire system desperately needs comprehensive reform!

Terrible service from rude and unhelpful receptionist claire
From the start, Claire, a receptionist with a typical attitude of thinking she's on par with the doctor, was incredibly unhelpful. She maintained a consistently sarcastic demeanor while I attempted to inquire about the status of my referral, which has been pending for over two months. It's truly frustrating and disappointing that excellent staff members must endure the consequences of unprofessional individuals like Claire.

Worst healthcare experience ever terrible service
The front desk staff are incredibly discourteous! Scheduling an appointment is an absolute nightmare. I've been attempting to book for three consecutive days, waiting on hold since early morning, only to be informed they're completely booked. They've eliminated in-person consultations entirely, forcing everything through phone calls. Despite scheduling a two-hour slot, the actual doctor's interaction lasts a mere 5-10 minutes. This is precisely why healthcare facilities are overwhelmed and inefficient!

Caring doctors despite some surgical challenges
This medical procedure hasn't been without its challenges. However, whenever a problem has arisen, they've consistently addressed it effectively. Recently, I've found it convenient to secure timely appointments for my family and obtain prescriptions with minimal advance notice. It would be a welcome improvement if they could implement an online booking system.

Unprofessional staff waste my precious time
The staff is unprofessional, sluggish, and consistently behind schedule, routinely delaying patients by 20 to 30 minutes. The employees appear completely unproductive, spending their time in the office engaging in idle chatter and consuming coffee. It's absurd that they receive compensation for essentially doing nothing.

Worst healthcare experience ever terrible service
If you become a patient at this medical practice, you can expect to be completely ignored by the physicians, with phone calls consistently going unanswered and prescription refills being practically impossible to obtain through any channel.

Terrible service at worst medical practice ever
The service at this medical practice is utterly appalling. The staff have been completely negligent in updating my prescription for an extended period, and it remains unresolved. Attempting to get assistance from the personnel is futile. They carelessly misplaced the physical copy of my new prescription and show absolutely no interest in resolving the issue. This is undoubtedly one of the most incompetent general practitioners I have ever encountered.

Compassionate and caring doctors at grove surgery
I have been a patient at Grove surgery for over 15 years, and Dr Moghal has consistently demonstrated exceptional compassion, care, and attentiveness during my consultations. Never have I felt hurried or pressured during any appointment. The reception manager, Parveen, is an absolute gem - always greeting patients with a warm, calm, and courteous approach. Recently, the addition of Lady Dr Moghal to the practice has been incredibly beneficial to my healthcare journey. When the hospital struggled to provide a clear diagnosis during my two-week inpatient stay and subsequently discharged me, Lady Dr Moghal quickly identified the issue and was instrumental in guiding me back to the hospital for proper treatment. The practice's commitment to patient care is remarkable, and such dedication is increasingly rare in today's healthcare landscape. The only minor drawback is the occasional difficulty in securing an appointment, but considering the immense pressure currently facing the NHS, this is hardly surprising. Nevertheless, the outstanding care and professionalism at Grove surgery far outweigh any scheduling challenges.

Challenging appointments but wonderful healthcare team
Securing a consultation at this medical practice is extremely challenging. Despite this, the personnel and physicians are absolutely wonderful, exceptionally supportive, and genuinely compassionate. I'm confident the difficulties with scheduling are more attributable to systemic problems within the National Health Service rather than any shortcomings of the staff.

Terrible service and impossible to book appointments
I constantly encounter busy phone lines and find it impossible to schedule an appointment, forcing me to rely on Queens Hospital for medical care. The GP service is absolutely terrible.
