Four Acre Surgery is a long-standing family practice of more than 70 years, which is a rarity in healthcare these days and no longer the norm. We are proud to say we have been serving generations of the same families for decades and by knowing them as well as we do, has proved invaluable to their healthcare, both from doctors, nurses and patients perspective; offering the personal touch which only family doctors can truly provide. Improving access and services for patients is always a top priority for us and does not come without its challenges, which unfortunately is seen throughout the NHS as thankfully, people are living longer and the ability to successfully treat more diseases. Since October 2012 we became a four full-time doctor practice and also have a Nurse Clinician and Practice Nurse, both are prescribers and trained to Masters Level.

Dr Tchikhiaeva our newest partner, is a GPwSI in Dermatology (doctor with specialist interest in skin problems) and is also an accredited GP trainer and as such, helped the practice become a GP training practice. This means we have two extra doctors at any one time, adding to our compliment of clinical staff.

In addition to having interests in teaching and skin conditions Dr Tchikhiaeva offers female patients a full range of Family Planning services including; IUCD (insertion, removal and monitoring of inter-uterine devices) as well as the insertion and removal of contraceptive implants. Our highly skilled team offer patients many additional services, mostly in-house for their convenience such as, regular Diabetic, Asthma and COPD Clinics, ECGs, INR (Warfarin) Clinics, Counselling, Minor Surgery, Wound Treatment Clinics, District Nurses, Health Visitors, Lifestyle Team, Baby Clinics, Chiropody Services, including recent new clinics for Acupuncture and Hypnosis run by Dr Junaid.

The surgery building is of a single floor design allowing wheelchair access throughout with entrance and exit ramps, as well as a lower reception counter and disabled toilet.

A confidential area is available in reception which allows patients to discuss their healthcare in private if they choose.
