Telehealth Consultations Available with Dr Chris Leat
This will (hopefully) NOT be another boring Corona Virus Post. I’m sure that you, like myself, do not need to be told about the actions Envisage clinic is taking to reduce the risk of infection to our staff and patients, or how we are working from home and reducing face to face contact. We are closed for normal business and
