Covid-19
During this outbreak of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) the safety and health of our patients is our top priority. Many of our patients, whether in self-isolation or preferring not to travel into Central London, are not able to make it into the clinic during this difficult time.
Although our clinics are currently running as normal, if you are now working from home or following social distance advice, we are offering telephone and video consultations.
