About Dr Melsom → Our Team
The people behind the practice
Good surgical care depends on far more than the time you spend in the consulting room. Our reception and administrative team look after your appointments, your hospital booking and your correspondence — and they are the people you are most likely to speak with.
Reception
Our reception team manages appointments, theatre bookings, hospital admissions and accounts. If you have a question about your appointment, your surgery date, or your paperwork, they are the right people to ask.
