Surgery News

Dear Patients,

We would like to inform you that after 12 and a half years at Mersea Surgery, Dr Patel has made the decision to step away from GP Partnership, and that she will be leaving the practice on Tuesday 31st March 2026.

Dr Patel has been a valued member of our team and we are incredibly grateful for the care, commitment and relationships Dr Patel has provided to our patients and the wider practice community during her time here.

We wish Dr Patel every success for the future.

We have taken steps to ensure your care continues smoothly as Dr Heng Fah Lee, who currently works on a Friday, will take over Dr Patels patients.

Patients will continue to be able to access any surgery clinician depending on availability on the day.

We appreciate your trust and understanding during this transition.
