Jay R Grove Md's Online Review Report Card

This guy is the worst. I came to him postpartum with prolapsed hemorrhoids and he made a show out of my procedure. He crammed me into a tiny room and had me lay on this awkward bed/chair that he raised about 5feet into the air and preformed a rubberband procedure for like 5 students. The room was packed and I was so uncomfortable. I have a history of sexual trauma and I requested some sort of sedation and he told me no and that sexual trauma doesn’t matter in this procedure. I had pain after the procedure and he labeled me as medication seeking. I was so embarrassed and never wanted to advocate for myself again. I ended up with an infection due to untreated pelvic organ prolapse and just had emergency surgery on Monday with UCSD.

Doctor Grove expertly repaired my inguinal hernia using a robotic, laparoscopic surgical technique. I had essentially no pain or discomfort from the surgery and healed rapidly with no complications. Doctor Grove's expertise and extensive experience was particularly important to me because of my age (82) and other issues that I'm dealing with (and which Doctor Grove very effectively addressed). He is an expert in his field and I feel blessed to have had him as my surgeon. THANK YOU, DOCTOR GROVE!!!

Dr. Grove is an exception to the rule when it comes to the finest. He too saved my life. His bedside manner is second to none. He is caring not only about your surgery but, about you personally. I will have additional surgery in July and know that in Dr Gove's hand I have nothing to worry about. What a great surgeon and man. Kudo's to his nurse Melanie!

Very short with me, below average bed side manner. Far from warm and fuzzy, even “friendly” may be a stretch. Wish I would’ve chosen a different doctor. Not sure why there’s good reviews. Office doesn’t return phone calls. Doctor doesn’t follow up as promised.

After living for almost a year with an undiagnosed condition, Dr. Grove pinpointed the problem (gall bladder), and within a week he had removed it robotically. No more pain! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and experienced as a surgeon, he is also a kind and caring person who I felt I could trust completely.. HE'S MY HERO!

Dr. Grove successfully removed a 12 section of my bowel. In addition to being an excellent surgeon is a fine human being. I saw him right after my surgery and he visited me 2 times a day during my short hospital stay. I recommend him highly and without reservation.

He is an excellent surgeon and fine human being.

Dr. Grove's expertise allowed me at age 66 to walk into the hospital, have him guide a robot to move a third of my stomach from above my diaphragm to his rightful location, to walk out the hospital the next day with no bandages or dressings--just 5 abdominal slits super-glued back together, and no need for prescription pain meds. This surgery was nothing short of miraculous! I thought I would need to go to LA to have such a state-of-the art experience; but was able to do it at Palomar Hospital

Should I ever need more surgery--ROBOTICS with Dr. Grove will be my first choice.

Dr. Grove recently removed my gallbladder Robotically, and it was an incredibly easy recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Grove! He is knowledgeable, professional, kind, compasssionate and very skilled in his practice. The office staff are very helpful and attentative also.
