Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Medical professionals are frequently praised for their professional competence, attentive listening, and compassionate approach to care. However, reception experience emerges as a significant concern, with multiple patients reporting discourteous behaviour, lack of responsiveness, and unprofessional conduct at the front desk. This inconsistency is particularly notable given that clinical care quality is consistently rated highly.

Appointment availability and booking efficiency present ongoing challenges. Patients report difficulties securing timely appointments, with some experiencing waits of a week or longer for urgent needs. The booking system has been criticised for inefficiency, and communication about appointment status and waiting times appears inconsistent. Long waiting times during appointments are also mentioned, though some patients report improved access to same-day appointments in recent visits.

Care coordination and responsiveness to patient concerns show variable performance. While some patients describe supportive and engaged consultations, others report feeling dismissed or unheard, with concerns about inadequate investigation of symptoms and limited follow-up. The practice appears to benefit from recent staffing changes that have improved some service aspects, though reception staff training and consistency remain areas requiring attention.

Frustrating medical journey with unanswered health concerns

I've encountered challenges with this medical situation, where one physician apparently filed a report against me, nearly leading to serious consequences. Now, no healthcare professional seems willing to investigate my condition. I've been struggling with persistent issues, including chronic burping, hip pain, and a jaw that continuously clicks—which I suspect stems from a hip misalignment. Over the past year, I've received no comprehensive diagnostic tests, no oncological screenings, and no x-rays. Currently, my jaw's clicking is so severe that speaking and even breathing feel difficult. As a result, I've been effectively excluded from further medical care. Needless to say, this experience has been far from satisfactory.

Ineffective treatment leaves patient frustrated and unheard

For the past couple of years, I've been consulting this general practitioner about persistent allergic symptoms like nasal congestion, eye irritation, excessive mucus, and frequent sneezing. Despite my repeated visits, they consistently recommend the identical nasal spray and oral medication, which have shown absolutely no effectiveness. On occasions when I've experienced significant respiratory distress, the doctor simply renewed the same prescription and scheduled a follow-up appointment for the subsequent week. I'm deeply frustrated, feeling that my medical concerns are being dismissed and that I'm not receiving adequate or attentive healthcare.

Terrible healthcare service destroying patient trust

The most dreadful medical clinic, my spouse suffers from a long-term health issue diagnosed at the hospital, and the practice absurdly claimed they had no medical documentation! We endured weeks of intense psychological distress as the hospital suggested potential secondary complications, while the practice repeatedly recommended applying ibuprofen gel!!!!!!!. He arrived punctually for a scheduled fasting blood test, properly registered on their supposed check-in system, only to be informed he had somehow missed his appointment!!!!!!!!! Given his ongoing chemotherapy treatment and requirement for consistent blood monitoring, these surgery receptionists desperately need comprehensive customer service training!!!! The patient treatment is absolutely unacceptable!!!!!!

Unprofessional doctor who googled my medical condition

Unbelievable that the physician couldn't even correctly identify my medical condition. Right in front of me, she resorted to searching on Google. Seriously? I definitely don't consider this general practitioner competent at all. After being their patient for some time, I'm now switching to a healthcare provider with better recommendations. Their entire approach seems limited to prescribing painkillers and nothing more. What an incredibly disappointing medical experience.

Terrible healthcare experience with neglectful general practice

The most terrible general practitioner I've encountered. I've struggled with issues for over 4 years, and they continuously prescribed pain medication and similar drugs. They completely disregarded my symptoms and experiences. Now the situation has deteriorated even further because the GP has taken no action for the past 4 years, and I've been hospitalized. The medical staff are completely indifferent and uncaring. 😡😡

Exceptional care and support from friendly staff

On 02/07/2025, I had a conversation with my local medical practice and was thoroughly delighted by their exceptional customer care. The front desk staff member was remarkably courteous, warm, and accommodating. She attentively heard my concerns, offered precise guidance, and transformed what could have been a complicated interaction into a seamless, relaxed experience. It's truly refreshing to encounter healthcare professionals who demonstrate such genuine commitment to patient well-being — their compassionate approach really elevates the entire interaction. My sincere appreciation for the outstanding service!

Compassionate nurse lucy made my blood test awesome

I visited the clinic today, January 7th, 2025, for a blood draw and encountered an exceptional nurse named Lucy! She was incredibly warm and competent. Her compassionate approach made the entire experience comfortable and reassuring. Lucy truly stands out as a healthcare professional! I want to express my gratitude to her specifically. Moreover, the entire medical staff at this practice demonstrates a commendable level of professionalism and patient-centered care!

Exceptional care from a welcoming medical team

Every interaction with the reception staff has been consistently warm, welcoming, and supportive. As a recent addition to their patient roster, I've already experienced one of their physicians, and the entire encounter was remarkably positive and comforting. When feeling unwell, this kind of compassionate and reassuring approach is exactly what one hopes to find.

Horrible healthcare experience for a disabled patient

I'm experiencing excruciating discomfort And they've scheduled me for an appointment in almost a week As someone with a disability, this treatment is unacceptable Previously, I endured an 8-hour wait in the emergency room, only to be told I'm too complex for their care The front desk personnel have displayed an attitude of arrogance and detachment I was so distressed that I broke down in tears (and I'm a 23-year-old male)

Terrible healthcare service leaves sick child waiting

I'm incredibly frustrated with this medical service. My 8-year-old daughter is seriously ill, and I've been attempting to schedule an appointment, but they have no available slots - not even a phone consultation - until next week. This is completely unacceptable. What type of healthcare provider offers such inadequate support during a time of urgent medical need? Their lack of responsiveness is absolutely maddening.

Exceptional medical care with compassionate staff

I'm thoroughly satisfied with the Grove Medical Surgery in Northolt. Dr. Rabie is exceptional, attentively listening to my health concerns and demonstrating remarkable patience. The reception staff are delightful, and I'm even more pleased now that they've added Mihaela, a Romanian receptionist who provides invaluable assistance to Romanian patients like myself.

Lifelong care at grove medical practice rocks

I've been a patient at this practice since childhood and have visited numerous times, consistently receiving top-notch care for various medical concerns. Compared to other GP surgeries I've encountered since, the Grove stands out as significantly more efficient and patient-friendly, and my appreciation for them has only grown over time. My elderly mother is also registered here and continues to have positive experiences, always being seen quickly and providing glowing feedback about her interactions. Given the unwarranted negative reviews I've seen, I felt compelled to share my own genuine and overwhelmingly positive experience.
