“I’ve practiced here for 11 years after many years of running my own practice elsewhere. I have really enjoyed being able to concentrate on medicine and leave administrative tasks to the very competent team. It is so reassuring to know that there are other doctors in the practice able to take over the care of my patients when I am away.”
