Dr. Michele Sak Grove, MD

Referred for fibroid removal. Office focus is on child birth. Waiting times for scheduled appointments unacceptable (over 30 minutes). Dr was very brusque. Offered to biopsy on day of initial consult (with no pain refief) although symptoms of broken glass feeling in uterus, daily spotting, etc, clearly indicated removal and subsequent biopsy was more appropriate. Procedure went OK. Polyp found and removed in addition to fibroid. Sent home post surgery without pain meds. Had to take an uber to office next day to pick up. Had to badger office for biopsy results. When procedure did not help leg pain, dr had zero idea on what type of dr handled pelvic congestion nor was she capable of googling. (Answer: interventional radiologist). For these reasons and more, I would never recommend her and feel 80% of doctors, on their worst days, could do better.

For a FTM, she was very clinical in her presentation of things. Terrible bedside manner, especially when harping on weight gain (I have a history of obsessive compulsion about weight and eating disorders). I just found her to be overwhelming and insensitive.

Love her she’s great

Iâ??ve been seeing her for a number of years now and I think that Iâ??m done with her. I had an emergency a couple of years ago and, after sitting in an empty waiting room for almost 30 minutes, was told that no one could help me. Just like that. I left and went next door to the e.r. and was treated there. A nurse called me with an attitude as I was walking into the e.r. and I gave it right back to her. She treated the whole situation as a joke. When I saw Dr. Grove for my regular check-up, she said that she knew nothing about my emergency. Dr. Grove has been physically rough during my exams, makes sweeping generalizations and pushes for unnecessary procedures. She doesnâ??t listen to my concerns and asks the same inane questions. Also, one of her nurses has the lovely idea that medical problems are caused by â??getting olderâ??. Very unprofessional.

I have had just three appointments with Dr. Grove and am trying to keep an open mind about her. I don't question her knowledge or ability to treat conditions. I am less than impressed with her level of caring about her patients' emotional needs at a time when they need to be supported and listened to. I got the very clear impression that she didn't want to hear about my experience and just wanted to tell me generalities that frankly did not apply to me at all.

Terrible about making or returning phone calls.

Dr. Grove consistently does not return phone calls - even when my mammogram results required immediate attention last year. The other phone calls were with regard to medication questions, cycle irregularity while on the meds. The later phone call remains unreturned now longer than 3 weeks - even after 3 messages were left. The staff is always professional, and clearly uncomfortable making apologies for Dr. Grove's lack of response. The office wait time can also be a problem with Dr. Grove. This week I will begin my ob/gyn care with another practice that came with wonderful references from colleagues.

Have been seeing Dr, Grove for 10 years. She IS caring and down to earth. She is knowledgeable and approachable.

I was referred to Dr. Michele Grove by Hunterdon Hospital. I had to get in asap, for it was an emergency situation and could not waste a lot of time. Dr. Grove could care less and finally acquiesced to see me the next day (I had called at 8:00am on a Monday) at 1:00p. They said she was too busy to see me. I asked if they told her how urgent the appt. was, and the girl just said, "It doesn't matter, that's the only opening she has."
