Saltmead Medical Centre

I haven’t had much experience o other doctors surgeries! I am a rare visitor who does not want be there. Every occasion I have had cause to visit I have always been pleasantly impressed with how friendly the staff are, receptionists, nurse and doctors (Dr Short is fantastically personable). Service is king even in this environment.
Can always get an appointment and rarely have to wait long once there. The waiting room is clean and pleasant in any event.
