About
As men, we understand that we have our own unique health concerns. Originally founded in 1996, we have years of experience with male specific issues like sexual health, erectile dysfunction (ED) and vasectomy (aka ‘the snip’). Consultations are by appointment only, with plenty of time allowed for thorough examination and discussion. We are a normal GP practice that sees patients for everyday issues as well, including ear cleaning services with a Registered Nurse.
No matter what your health need is, we invite you to come in for a consultation. Our friendly and highly experienced male medical staff will ensure you feel at ease during your visit.
