Reviews
Very efficient and professional in all aspects
I am very fortunate in being looked after by Dr Thornton Smith. I get to see him promptly when I need to; he listens to me; he puts up with my enthusiasm for alternative treatments; he gets me prompt treatment elsewhere when needed; I always leave the surgery feeling better than when I went in.
Alex has always had time for me and my family and we have become quite close over the years, through the aftermath of my first wife's death from esophageal cancer 12 years ago, my own prostate cancer in 2016 and psychotic episode in 2019, and my present wife's melanoma (2012-date). Throughout, Alex has been available, interested, wise, thoroughly professional and, really, everything that a patient could expect from an overworked doctor operating in a cash starved service, imposed by central government.
I’ve only just moved to this area and I have seen this doctor twice. Great advice with my shoulder and arm and very good advice on my arthritis in my ankles. I felt that he listened to me and advised me and assisted me in making quick decisions to help with me to be able to carry on With my new job and , my new life .
Alex has been my doctor for many years. He is a great doctor - personable, knowledgeable and kind. He is responsive and proactive, even in the context of such high demands on GPs at present.
