Preventative health services in Upminster

“I had a trapped nerve in the neck which affected the whole of my right side. The pain was 8 out of 10. At one point 111 thought I was having a heart attack and sent me straight to a&e - fortunately enough the heart is in a good condition. But due to the junior docs strike I was just palmed off with a pulled muscle. I couldn’t even get an appt with my GP or out of hours service. So tried a chiropractor, who took X-rays and gave me the feed back that I needed a 12 week program to get the nerve treated. I took one treatment to start with and they left me in more pain than ever before. I ended up having to take 17 pain killers a day just to get thru the day until someone recommended Andrew. I was with Andrew for 1 hour, in that one hour he managed to straighten me up, I trapped the nerve, advised me on exercises that I could do whilst working that wouldn’t look out of place. Advised that the one treatment he done should be enough but if ‘I wanted’ to then I could book a second one. Andrew listened to my needs, dealt with the problem, gave fantastic advice and most of all - he was honest! His practice was warm, clean and inviting and he’s so friendly. I now see why Upminster First Rugby team use him - he has magic in his hands n. Thank you Andrew for fixing me too!”

“Really great service at this running shop! The two guys working there helped me out with a gait analysis and measured my feet to figure out the best shoes for my overpronation. They were super helpful and explained everything clearly. I ended up getting a pair of Saucony running shoes, and I’m loving them so far-they feel really comfortable and supportive. Definitely planning to shop here again next time I need new trainers!”

“I have just changed my dog’s vets to ivy lodge. Amazing staff. My dog is extremely nervous and often fear aggressive. They took time in getting to know her and made her so comfortable to the point she was even wagging her tail. We have had numerous issues with her and her first visit feels like we got further than any other place we have been too! Couldn’t find a fault at all”

“Lost a filling but Viraj and Takreem took good care of me during the replacement. The whole practice is friendly and efficient.”

“I have the worst phobia of dentists, have done since I was young, to the point where I would have panic attacks. But since discovering sunny smiles my phobia is no more. I used to get terribly anxiety before an appointment but not anymore doesn’t phase me what so ever, and this is due to Anita. Who is easily one of the best in her field. Non judgmental, kind, compassionate caring, as are all the nurses too. Really can’t rate this place high enough.”

“Very good dentist fitted me in to remove a very painful tooth as we were going away. Saw the new hygienist Tom today. He's very thorough and explained everything fully and gave good advice. Impressed.”
