Services we offer
Medication review
Most patients require appointments with the nurse prescriber or doctor to discuss your regular medications, assess how effective they are and make any appropriate changes. Generally, this appointment requires a physical check up to ensure there are no unwanted side effects.
We will arrange any necessary blood tests to make sure the medication is not causing any problems for you. You can book with the nurse prescriber or your GP for a medication review.
Women’s Health
Dr Sarah Wong and Dr Maria Giouzeli have experience in general health for women and an interest in sexual health. Our nurses are cervical smear takers.
Maternity care
Our doctors do not act as Lead Maternity Carers (LMC’s) but do provide antenatal care in the first trimester and liaise with local midwives and obstetricians over ongoing care in pregnancy, labour and the post-natal period.

Acute injuries / ACC
If you have had an injury or accident and need to see a doctor or nurse urgently, phone the surgery and we will do our best to make sure you are seen promptly. We should be the first port of call for all acute injuries and aim to provide attention with minimal waiting times if you are injured. All our doctors and nurses are ACC registered and experienced at treating injuries.
If you have been seen elsewhere for an ACC injury and is coming in to see someone about this injury for the first time it is very helpful to bring in any paperwork you have especially the ACC45 number. If you cannot find the relevant paperwork please arrive 10-15 minutes earlier and ask the reception to search the system for you to minimise any delays to your appointment.
Our nurses are happy to change dressings and remove stitches as needed.
Skin checks
Our aim is to provide affordable quality skin care to our registered patients. All Harley Street GP’s (except Maria Giouzeli) offer skin checks and can perform minor surgeries as required.
Dr Yen Chen runs a private skin clinic (Skin at Harley) from Harley Street Medical every Wednesday. He accepts referrals and casual patients. *Please note that fees may be higher in this clinic as Dr Chen is Southern Cross Accredited.
