Our dedicated team of receptionists handle the efficient everyday running and administration of the practice, the receptionist performs a very busy and sometimes difficult job to ensure the smooth running of the practice. They're sometimes faced with situations out of their control, such as, surgeries running late or the doctors being called out on an emergency. If a situation does arise they will keep the patients informed but please remember it is not the fault of the Receptionist.
Your consideration & patience is much appreciated
