Introduction and History

ESS Primary Care Solutions Ltd was established in 2008 by Sue Crabbe, Dr Shereen Rahman and Dr Evan James as a provider of community specialist clinics within the NHS. ESS specialise in Dermatology in the London Borough of Waltham Forest.

In 2010, we opened a brand new health centre in George Lane, South Woodford. The centre continues to provide a high-class Dermatology specialist service.

ESS continues to be managed by its founders and is supported by a capable clinical and administration team, dedicated to providing outstanding patient care.
