General Surgeries

All our doctor's surgeries are non-appointment. If you arrive during surgery hours you will be seen by the doctor. Whilst this may seem to go against the modern trend, all three doctors believe it is the better system.
Firstly, if you are ill, you will see the doctor the same day, with no questions asked; no 'grilling' on the phone or at the reception desk; no being squeezed in the end; no seeing the nurse first and maybe having to come back and see the doctor later; no being offered an appointment in two weeks time! Secondly, whilst there may occasionally be a wait, we find that: a) our patients do stagger their arrival at the surgery. b) even surgeries with appointments systems find that overrunning, hence waiting, is the norm. Lastly, the doctors feel it makes for a more relaxed consultation, often being able to give the patient the time and attention their condition demands, without one eye on the clock. Please note that we also offer specialist clinics, some of which do require appointment. Please visit Special Clinics for further information. For the times of surgeries/clinics please visit Surgery Hours.
