We Say
Dr Manpreet Heer or ‘Doctor Manny’ as he’s known, is loved by everyone – especially children. He has a huge, infectious smile, and is seemingly always cheerful. While his main interests relate to children, he is up to date with all areas of general practice. We have to warn you, that because he is very kind, and a good listener, he often runs a little bit late, so he may not be for the time-poor among you.
