How do I book an appointment?

You can call me on 01392 424276 between 8.00am and 6.00pm Mondays to Fridays. You won’t have to speak to a receptionist – you’ll speak to me, so if there’s anything medical you would like to ask at this stage, you are welcome to do so.

I always encourage patients to tell their GP, and GPs in turn are usually keen to hear of other treatments which their patients have found helpful.
