Welcome to The Lindley Village Surgery

The Lindley Village Surgery is a modern, purpose built and well-equipped surgery, which provides easy access for the disabled, located at the centre of the village of Lindley.

The doctors and staff at the Lindley Village Surgery are proud to offer the highest standard of patient-centred healthcare. We run many clinics for the management of chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes and offer a wide variety of other medical services including antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.  We can also now offer a coil and contraception implant service.
