Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reveals a markedly divided experience at this practice. Many patients commend the appointment availability and digital booking system, particularly the Ask My GP communication platform, which enables efficient same-day consultations and rapid responses. The medical care itself receives consistent praise, with patients highlighting professional physicians and responsive clinical staff who provide reassurance and continuity of care.

However, significant concerns emerge around reception experience and staff attitude. Multiple patients report difficulties accessing appointments due to restrictive booking windows and describe reception staff as unhelpful, dismissive, and discourteous. Communication barriers and access obstacles feature prominently, with some patients experiencing long waits for responses and facing resistance when attempting to escalate concerns. Respect and courtesy gaps are noted across several reviews, alongside broader organisation challenges affecting prescription ordering and administrative processes.

The practice environment also receives criticism, with cleanliness concerns raised. This mixed feedback suggests that whilst clinical care standards remain strong, reception and administrative functions require substantial improvement to enhance overall patient experience and accessibility.

Excellent practice faultless

The practice deserves recognition. I’ve seen three doctors - all listened - knowledgeable - wanted to solve the issue. It’s a very personal service. You come out of there everytime feeling somebody is taking responsibility for making you feel better. They build trust. Receptionists are brilliant - attitude throughout is brilliant. Booking appointments easy. They work as a committed team. I moved here from another awful practice, I’m so glad I did.

Terrible customer service ruined my entire experience

The receptionist's conduct was utterly appalling from the moment our conversation began. When I phoned regarding my young child, her demeanor was completely unacceptable - she came across as dismissive, obstructive, discourteous, and thoroughly disrespectful. As a concerned parent, I was deeply distressed, and it was abundantly clear that the staff showed zero empathy or concern for my situation.

No request is too challenging for this team, who consistently demonstrate professionalism, kindness, and genuine concern. A truly outstanding healthcare facility.

Terrible medical care that dismissed my serious health

Steer clear of this medical practice at all costs. They will only disregard you, invalidate your experiences, and jeopardize your well-being. For instance, I requested a gynecological referral last year based on my symptoms. They refused. I sought private care. Subsequently discovered stage three endometriosis with organs adhered together by adhesions, requiring surgical separation. Multiple references in my medical records detailing endometriosis symptoms were completely overlooked. Met with another physician last week, who dismissed my back pain and when I became visibly distressed, callously remarked he had patients "worse off with cancer" - implying my limited mobility and emotional suffering are insignificant?! I've consistently felt marginalized and ignored by this practice. It's absolutely ridiculous! Despite friends and family urging me to retry the doctors, witnessing my struggles firsthand, I maintain it's futile as they demonstrably do not care. The doctor seemingly presumed I was seeking benefits, referencing "DWP". My professional profile clearly shows a successful business and lifelong work ethic. I'm not pursuing handouts - I desperately need genuine help! He told my companion he wanted to "make me better" - yet I've been seeking resolution for debilitating back pain since 2017 and made zero progress. Being instructed to simply try harder - that exercise and work are "therapeutic" while experiencing such intense pain - is profoundly condescending, especially considering my relentless daily struggles. I've perpetually been treated as though I'm fabricating my conditions. Being systematically gaslighted and dismissed has practically driven me to desperation, to the point where I dread medical consultations so intensely that I'll require accompaniment for future appointments. These physicians seem consumed by an unwarranted superiority complex. I'm forced to independently investigate my blood work and symptoms. I'm compelled to abandon my business due to reduced mobility, and my sole remaining asset is my work motivation - making this situation utterly devastating. "Don't mistake your brief university lecture about my condition for my lifetime of experiencing it".

Betrayed after 25 years of loyal patient service

After dedicating a quarter-century to this medical practice, they abruptly deregistered me without any prior notice or justification. I am currently pursuing an appeal and am prepared to escalate this matter to legal proceedings if necessary. I submitted a formal letter to the practice manager seeking clarification over two months ago, and they have not shown the basic courtesy of responding. I'll leave it at that. Despite my inability to recommend the grove, I must acknowledge that during my time there, I believed I maintained a positive relationship with the physicians and staff. For 25 years, I was an exemplary patient who never caused any issues, making their current actions all the more shocking. The receptionists exhibit a distinctly pompous attitude, reminiscent of the self-important demeanor typically associated with traffic wardens...

Terrible service at medical centre avoid completely

Terrible healthcare facility - AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Constant problems with my parents' medication orders. Prescription items go missing, deliveries are late, documents aren't sent to the pharmacy, and prescriptions frequently lack proper signatures, forcing repeated visits to get them completed. These ongoing issues have been incredibly frustrating, ultimately leading me to transfer my parents' medical care to a different practice.

Horrible medical care traumatized my helpless baby

An absolute nightmare of medical care. The nursing staff displayed shocking levels of impatience and hostility towards my infant daughter. If I could, I would assign zero stars to this repulsive and appalling facility.

Askmygp saves time and reduces healthcare hassle

The Askmygp application is truly exceptional, significantly more efficient than enduring lengthy phone wait times with a receptionist. As long as you manage to access the system before the morning cutoff, you'll receive prompt assistance.

Convenient healthcare at your fingertips with myGp

The feature of describing your medical concern via myGp and uploading images for the physician's review is absolutely fantastic. The doctor subsequently contacts you to delve into more specific aspects, which significantly reduces time, travel, and overall hassle. They consistently provide rapid responses, and their staff is remarkably professional and friendly. I cannot recommend this service highly enough.
