Mission Statement

 “To provide the best possible healthcare, to enable our patients to live well”

Serving You

Our dedicated team are here to treat those minor ailments that occur as well as providing specialist management of long-term conditions and clinics covering a wide range of healthcare issues. The technology also means you can now do a lot of things from the comfort of your home such as order a repeat prescription or cancel an appointment.

A Brief History

The Practice was established by Dr Gordon Montgomery before the Great War (1914 -1918). After serving in the war Dr Montgomery established his Practice in Pevensey House, Sheep Street. He was joined by Dr Arthur House in 1937 and these two founding fathers worked together until Dr Montgomery retired in 1954; after 40 years service to the town. “Montgomery-House Surgery” has therefore been named in recognition of our Practice origins.

The Practice moved to Bell Lane, moving again in 1975 to the Health Centre, then across the road to our current Surgery in Piggy Lane in 1998.

Our Partners

Our current Partners are:  Dr Will O’Gorman, Dr Kate Frankland and Dr Joshua Scales.

Our Patients

We have around 16,000 patients.

Whilst all patients have a named doctor, you are able to see any doctor in the practice you choose; although for continuity of care, especially if you have an ongoing conditions, we would highly recommend that you see the same doctor.

Where appropriate, you are also also encouraged to book appointments with the Practice Nurses or Health Care Assistants directly for specialist nursing services e.g. travel immunisations, NHS Health Checks, Blood tests etc.

Patients that do not live near to a community pharmacy can be dispensed to directly from our dispensary.
