"Stop Smoking Guru"

About: Colindale Medical Centre Lp

I have been registered at Colindale Medical Centre for as long as I can remember and have always found every aspect of the practice to be of the highest quality.

Last November, I started to see the member of staff who runs the Smoking Cessation Clinic. I managed to quit smoking within 7 days and was happily smoke free for a period of around 6 months. Sadly, a stag party in Las Vegas put an end to that run. When I was back, I contacted the staff to book an appointment to see him and explain what had happened and ask if I could start the therapy again from square 1. What impressed me most was the lack of judgement and also the understanding he had. I have found the staff to be extremely easy to talk to and always very professional. His care has also extended beyond just smoking, with his interest in helping me improve my health in general through weight loss, with the aim of reducing my medication for high blood pressure. I have nothing but nice things to say- if you are a smoke and would like to quit and live in the Colindale are, go and see Mitesh Shah at Colindale Medical Centre now!!!

Dear Shamir Patel,

Thank you for your kind words and positive feedback. I'm so happy that we have been able to help you in the way you described. It is always nice to hear about positive experiences at the practice, and with particular members of staff. Promoting healthy lifestyles is an important area of focus for us at the surgery, and I am glad you have been able to benefit from this.

Best wishes,

Dr Amrit Lamba
