Customer Reviews

“Such a great service. I get this perk through my employers .My daughter needed to see a GP and getting an appointment is so hard. We called Health hero's at 17.30 last night, had an appointment at 19.00 and received an antibiotic prescription by email, enabling her to start treatment straight away.”
