After a long and illustrious career Dr Bolel is retiring at the end of this month. We will all be very sad to see Dr Bolel go and we know that you will be too.

Dr Bolel has this message for our patients.

I wish to inform my patients at Second Street that I will be retiring from 31st August. It’s been a privilege and a pleasure to be your doctor for the past eleven years and I wish you all the best.

We all wish Dr Bolel a restful and happy retirement. 🌺 😊

Have you ever wondered why it can be difficult to get a GP appointment these days? Look at the facts below. We don’t want this and neither do you.

We have all seen the poor state of NHS dentistry now due to years of similar underfunding. It is a postcode lottery as to whether you can be seen and those that can’t afford private care often go without.

We need to act now! 🚨🚨🚨 please share this post to raise awareness 🙏
