The Best Free health consultations in Orpington

“First time I've needed to use this new centre. I was 'mega' impressed! I did have a long wait for an appointment in Derma, but I was pretty sure it was not an urgent condition so didn't worry. But the new building is smart and clean and obviously modern. Facilities were not crowded or cramped. Reception staff were young but (quite unusual for the young!) helpful. Dr Malone the consultant was excellent, and has been before. Her 'couch-side' manner impeccable. Friendly but a most professional examination and study of my notes too. A thorough examination, a relief that the problem solely requires a cream which was promptly prescribed, and as I suspected the problem had been caught at an early stage and was not dangerous. Some skin cancers can be deadly, and for Dermatology to now have such a centre of excellence and permanent facilities locally reflects it's importance as a health service sector, and it's increasing relevance within the field of skin cancers with climate changes affecting us all. A Dr Parson I understand was highly influential in the development of this centre, and he happens to be my GP of long standing also, and I would like to congratulate him for the success of this new building, a worthy addition to our NHS and badly needed. Our health system will never be perfect for all, our expectations in modern times are higher, and our nation through successive Govt failures is no longer as wealthy. But the staff in our NHS continue to amaze me for their resilience. They should be proud. But, the continued under-funding of resources and restriction of salaries under a certain parties control (which shall remain nameless) will (and has) destroy morale and lead to a brain drain of our badly needed professionals, to places prepared to offer better conditions of work-and there are many. It's high time we recognised the importance of the nations health in productivity, and invested properly in healthcare. Orpington reflects 'one small step for man', but one giant leap for mankind is still desperately needed.”

“Jo, Charmaine and now Sonia - just astonishingly great physios!!! They have helped me, with physio and acupuncture,, through a terrible tennis hamstring injury and pretty bad tennis elbow. Everyone at the local tennis club knows Jo--she's totally professional and incredibly gifted (and the acupuncture really shortens recovery time). PS Update: They are all incredibly gifted. PS Had to see someone on the day - and they managed that too!!! - guy called Russell, v. sympathetic and acupuncture worked. So grateful to JK physio.”

“Stacey on the Estee lauder counter couldn't have been more helpful today, she went above and beyond to help me with my purchase. She was polite, friendly and smiley. I only went in to smell perfumes and came out with one of the face cream sets. I would recommend going into the boots in nugent centre.”
