Been going to this practice for over 60 year's. OK, all my life, just different doctor's as times goes by. Dr. Charlton, Dr. Lightfoot, Dr. North and Dr. Keyworth, until his current retirement. Thank you. So who will be my next Dr? No need to change practice, even if I now travel over 150km to the practice these day's compared to 5 minutes away for the first 50 year's. So that should tell you what I think on this practice.Posted on Google David Martin Excellent doctor. It's a shame (for his patients, but great for him) that Andrew Keyworth is retiring.
