CHANGES TO THE APPOINTMENT SYSTEM

The Gables Surgery is continually looking at ways to improve the appointment system.

From 1st May 2009

Telephone the surgery from 10.00 am   to book an appointment.

Same day appointments will be for Urgent  requests only and will be triaged by the nurse.

We will have more appointments available to book in advance.

You can book an appointment up to 7 days in advance (subject to availability).

If you encounter any problems booking an appointment please pass your concerns/comments to Miss Joanne Robinson, Practice Manager   

 

Dr Darigalas Retirement

Dr Darigala has now retired from the Practice on the grounds of ill health.  Dr Darigala was a great asset to the Practice not only was he a fantastic docotor but also a good friend not only to staff but to his patients.  I am sure your thoughts are with Dr Darigala and we will miss him dearly.  Please feel free to add any messages you may have for Dr Darigala via email.

Here are some of our patients comments

Just a note to thank you for all the care you've given us over the years and to wish you all the best in your retirement.  Can we also say that we always enjoyed looking at all the colourful ties you used to wear.  Mr & Mrs Pogson

Dr Darigala - Kind, considerate and always willing to listen. Wendy Walton

So long Dr Darigala - We are going to miss you.  You have been kind and gentle to Wesley and me, a good listener, and you never made us feel stupid no matter how trivial the things we came to you with.  It was good when Wesley had his stroke that you were able to put me at ease when you realised how frightened we both were.  Please try and "enjoy" for loss of a better word you "enforced retirement" knowing that you will always be missed and loved.  Take care as best you can.  Connie & Wesley
