Optometrist / Owner - Sally Nethercott MSc. FCOptom. Dip Tp(IP).
I set up the Practice in 1985, shortly after moving to Tadworth. As many of my long standing patients will remember, I started the Practice in our house so that I could also look after my young children. In 1997, we moved into premises recently vacated by the NatWest Bank, and have not looked back since!
My philosophy is to provide the highest standards of clinical care, whilst allowing plenty of time for individual attention. I have invested in some of the best available optical technology, and have also kept my own knowledge and skills up to date through continuing professional education. In 2005 I was awarded an MSc in Clinical Optometry. In 2012 I was awarded a Diploma in Therapeutics so I can now prescribe drugs for eyes within guidelines set by the College of Optometry.
