Any Other Comments ….I am very happy with the service the practice delivers. Since living in the area the care my husband and I and my two sons have received has been excellent. Many thanks to all the staff ….It would be useful if you had a disabled bay at your surgery or could one nearby on the road. ….Is it necessary to have the radio on in the waiting room at the Fairfield practice? I find this isn't at all relaxing and would prefer silence. …Just Thank You for helping me ….Well done. Please keep up the good / excellent work. I wish you good health, long happy lives; may the good lord bless you. ….Thank you Dr Van Mellearts
