Portlethen Surgery is open for you when you need us. We are here to help but because of the need to minimise the amount of face to face contact to keep you and the health care team safe most appointments in the first instance are carried out over the telephone or via video. Our practice aims to improve the health of those living in the Portlethen area, working closely with many local community services to achieve this.
