Being a family-led practice is a very important part of our legacy and a reason we think our practice is so very special.

Over 25 years of growing up together, means it is inevitable that we would welcome babies to the family (as well as other wonderful GPs who become like family).

Here's Tim with baby Sophie (now Dr. Sophie!) and here is Tim and Jill's son Jamie with baby Chloe, who was born on October 1st 2024.

Jamie is currently training to be a GP at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and will be joining the Practice when he finishes his training -keeping our family heritage and a 'Commitment to Care' at the heart of all we do.

Our GP lineage continues! We are here to support you day and night and continue to put your needs first.

When we launched our Private Medical Practice - over 25 years ago, we started with the belief in 'A commitment to care'

Recently, when we have been thinking about how to share our message on Social Media, as well as having lots of conversations about how best to tell our story, we also - reflected upon our continued commitment.

And what a commitment it is!

We are very proud to be still, to this day - independent and family run.

We are proud that we have grown older (and dare we say, wiser) with so many of our patients and we are proud of everyone who makes up a part of this very special team who we will be celebrating and sharing.

Our commitment to your care remains steadfast and the cornerstone of all that we do - and will do.

We look forward to sharing more with you.
