About us
Welcome to the Melbourne Grove Medical Practice
We hope you find the care we provide to be helpful and convenient. Our doctors and nurses are committed to providing a service that is for everybody. We provide clinical care from 8.00am to 8.00pm, Monday to Friday, and alternate Saturday’s 9.00am until 12.00 noon. We are very keen to work with you - our patients - to develop the doctor’s surgery in a way that suits you most. We have established a regular Patient Participation Group for registered patients to hear your views. Together, we want to address needs within the community to make the service as flexible as possible for everyone.
We look forward to providing you with the health care you deserve.
