About us
Theale Medical Centre prides itself on its pleasant and relaxed atmosphere where the doctors, nurses, reception and administration staff work as a team and try to make a visit to the surgery as comfortable as possible for patients. We try to do our best for each and every patient providing good clinical practice and up to date treatment.
There has been a doctors surgery in Theale for over 75 years. In this time it has grown from a single doctor practice to its present size of around 11,000 patients, looked after by a team of dedicated and friendly staff.
As the practice has grown it has had to move premises to accommodate the higher numbers and the expanding range of services. The last move in February 1993, was into our purpose-built medical centre in Englefield Road.
