I am so grateful to Dr Grimston for her expertise, reassurance and kindness today. It is so difficult to see a GP in person at the moment and it made a huge difference to meet face to face when discussing tricky health issues. She was very respectful and knowledgable when examining me. I came away having dealt with several issues, including paperwork and feeling much more supported.
Doctor Alison Grimston took exceptional care of me at the surgery appointment and identified an immediate life threatening illness. She arranged an ambulance to take me to hospital and as a result of her quick action A and E were able to save me. The hospital doctors said her quick action was professional and admirable.
I recently had two telephone consultations with Dr Grimston; during the calls she listened carefully allowing me time to explain my symptoms. She set out the steps that were needed to treat my condition in a clear and concise way whilst coming across as genuinely interested, caring and empathetic. Dr Grimston also went out of her way to be supportive by sending me a text message so I could let her know if my prescription was at the pharmacy. I’m very grateful for such a high level of care.
I have been highly fortunate to have been treated by Dr Grimston. The help, advice and support given has been outstanding and exactly what was needed. The level of empathy from Dr Grimston was amazing, I am very grateful for Dr Grimston’s listening, diagnosis and advice, it has literally transformed my health.
I have recently moved surgeries and Dr Alison Grimstone is the epitome of a fantastic doctor and I am so glad I moved to the Meads. She listened to me and I felt really heard. Dr Grimstone acknowledged my concerns and worries and shared her insight carefully and thoughtfully. I have found, sadly, that many doctors dismiss nutrition, hormonal and adrenal issues as entirely related to stress and anxiety. Dr Grimstone took the time to explain how she understands this and suggested some great ways I can go forward with helping myself. Thank you for your time and your expertise and for just being genuinely interested in what I had to say and for being so kind and helpful with your advice. I am very grateful!

Profile
With 20 years' experience of general practice and a lifelong interest in women's health, endocrinology and complementary therapies, I focus on inspiring and empowering patients to take back control of their health and make informed decisions, using lifestyle and mindset to tranform their health experience and minimise the use of prescribed medications.
In my private practice and professional speaking I am particularly focused on helping individuals and organisations to deal with stress and hormone imbalances in a more pro-active way.
