One of the best surgery in Leicester. Those who complain and post negative comments pls register somewhere else will know the difference. I have been with the surgery for 18yrs no complaints at all. As far as reception staff honestly u need to look into from the other side. They are only doing their duty. Grass looks greener on the other side.
