“Helping you to Better Health”
There has been a medical practice in this area of Monkseaton since before the advent of the NHS in 1948.
Dr Frazer lived in ‘the white house’ on Dale Road and practiced from there. There patients who could remember taking sixpence (2.5p) a month to the house to remain registered with the doctor.
Later Dr Frazer bought 104 Cauldwell Lane and we worked from there.
The back room was a consulting room, the kitchen the downstairs waiting room. The front room was the office. Upstairs was another waiting room (if you could get to it) and the back bedroom was a further consulting room. The District Nurse operated from a box room and there was a board over the bath which had the typewriter on.
In 1986 we moved the 100m or so to ‘Monkseaton Medical Centre’ our first purpose built premises. Initially we rattled around in it, there was so much room. Gradually, though, General Practice changed and space became increasingly tight; hence the move to our brand new building, only 50m further down the road.
We now have in the region of 9050 patients with a team that now comprises 3 partners, 7 permanent doctors, registrars and F2 doctors and 4 health care assistants, we can offer our patients a wide choice of skills, knowledge and experience.
