Meet Our Doctors

Dr Madhu Valluri
GP Partner

Since I qualified from medical school in 1999, I completed a variety of hospital posts before training in General practice in Stockport in 2006. Along side General practice my areas of special interests include Diabetes & Minor Surgery. I also supervise Medical Students and Junior Doctors training to be GPs.  Outside of work I enjoy playing cricket and spending time with family.

Dr Howard Sunderland
GP Partner

I graduated in 2001 from Manchester Medical School I trained in the North West initially as a hospital doctor within cardiology and general medicine. I chose to move into general practice to start my training in 2007 and have been at the practice since 2011, shortly after completion. I enjoy a variety of outdoor pursuits and spending time with my family.

I am in the process of developing a specialist interest in Women’s Health: I have trained in fitting contraceptive coils and have a diploma from the Royal College of the Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. I am also doing a diploma in Dermatology from Queen Mary University of London, which I am hoping to finish in May 2025. Outside of work, I enjoy baking and spending time with my family.
