What our patients say
Had an appointment one day and booked in for treatment four days later brilliant
I can't say enough good things about this medical practice and additional clinics (Muscular Skeleton, Mental health, Skin and Varicose Veins, Minor Surgery etc) available on site... Professor Kumar is truly exceptional... It's rare to find a practice that combines such a high level of medical expertise with such genuine empathy. I always leave feeling confident that I've received the best possible care.
Booked my appointment for the same day. Reception staff very helpful and welcoming on my arrival. GP I saw was very welcoming and made me feel valued, he listened and took note and I felt he was very responsive to my concerns. Overall really impressed. Well done to all staff who supported me with my visit.
Frequently asked questions
Can I register as a patient if I live out of area?
