Twenty minutes is our standard appointment, and thirty if you tell reception you have several things to raise. It is a slower model than most, and it means we sometimes run behind — usually by eight or nine minutes. The screen in the waiting room shows the current delay, so you can decide whether to nip out for coffee.

Clinics & services

  • Routine appointments — Twenty minutes with a doctor, bookable four weeks ahead or on the day from 7:45. Tell reception roughly what it concerns — not out of nosiness, but so we allocate a slot of the right length.
  • Same-day urgent slots — A duty doctor holds appointments back every afternoon for problems that will not keep until next week. Ring before 11:00 if you can. You may not get your usual doctor; the notes are shared either way.
  • Nurse clinics — Dressings, vaccinations, blood pressure checks and blood tests, Monday to Saturday. Most run 15 minutes. Blood tests are best booked before 10:30, so the samples make the same-day collection.
  • Long-term condition reviews — An annual 40-minute review: bloods first, conversation second, so that we are looking at the numbers together on a screen rather than reading them out to you a fortnight later.

We try to keep you with the same doctor, and about 60% of appointments are with the doctor the patient asked for by name. Continuity is not sentimental — it is the reason nobody has to re-explain a two-year history from the beginning. If yours is away and the matter can wait a week, reception will say so.

Hero lines

  • Same doctor, next time as well
  • Twenty minutes, not seven
  • Family medicine, unhurried

Standard appointments here are 20 minutes, because ten was never enough for two problems and a question about a rash.

One practice, four doctors, and a booking system that works hard to keep you with the same one.

Open 7:45–19:00 on weekdays, with a nurse-led clinic on Saturday mornings and a duty doctor every afternoon.

Team bios

Dr Halina Brzoska — General practitioner, partner

Halina has worked in family medicine for twenty-two years and in this practice for eleven of them. She has a particular interest in older patients living alone, and she is the reason the home visit list is as long as it is. She grows tomatoes, and will tell you about them.

Dr Samir Oyelaran — General practitioner

Samir joined in 2020 from hospital paediatrics and still takes the majority of the children's appointments. He is unhurried with parents who arrive apologising for wasting his time, which he says he has genuinely never once thought about anybody.

Beata Kalnins — Practice nurse

Beata runs the nurse clinic and the vaccination programme, and she takes blood from the people other clinics have given up on. Thirty years of practice and a still-steady hand. She will also, gently, ask you about the cigarettes.

Quotes

“Twenty minutes meant I actually reached the thing I came in about, which was third on my list and the one I had been embarrassed to say out loud for about a year.”

Nikolai Aaltonen, Registered since 2019

“My mother is 86 and sees the same doctor every single time. She has told that poor woman the same story about her father for years, and gets asked about it as though it were new.”

Constance Iwu, Family carer

“The message came through at 18:40 on the Friday: “bloods normal, nothing to do, have a good weekend”. I would have spent two days worrying otherwise. Small thing, enormous difference!”

Yusuf Demirbas, Patient

FAQ answers

How do I register with the practice?

Bring proof of address and a list of your current medication, or fill in the form online. Registration takes about ten minutes and includes a short appointment with a nurse — 20 minutes, blood pressure, a few questions about your history — usually within the fortnight.

What should I bring to a first appointment?

Your medication in its packaging, any letters or discharge summaries from a hospital, and a written list if you have more than two things to raise. The list genuinely helps. Twenty minutes disappears quickly when we are both trying to remember what came first.

Can I ask to see a female or male doctor?

Yes — say so when you book and reception will arrange it without asking why. The wait may be a few days longer depending on who is on that week. For anything urgent we will tell you plainly what the trade-off looks like.

What does an appointment cost?

Consultations are €45, or €30 for the nurse clinic, and most are covered by the usual health insurance plans — bring your card and we will bill directly. Vaccinations, dressings and certificates are priced separately on the list at reception.

Closing lines

If something has been quietly bothering you since the spring, book the 20 minutes. It is rarely the thing people fear, and finding that out costs one appointment and an afternoon away from your desk.

Reception opens at 7:45 and the phones get quieter after 10:00. Online booking runs overnight, and the duty doctor picks up urgent calls until 19:00 — you do not have to decide which category you are in before you ring.
