WELCOME TO THE PRACTICE

This website has been designed to tell you about the practice and the services that we offer. Please read it carefully. We trust that you will find it helpful and informative.

We are a three-doctor practice conveniently situated on Ashby Road (with a branch surgery held in the Ironstone Centre on West Street). Drs Dwyer, Tandon and Gandhi practise in partnership. All surgeries are by appointment only and patients are free to attend at either location.

We are also a Training Practice, which means we are responsible for the training of qualified doctors who wish to become general practitioners.

Over the last few years the building has seen several changes to accommodate our growing list size and provides comfortable and pleasant surroundings. There are ample car parking facilities at the rear of the building and easy access for the disabled.
