Dr Nicole Soffe has a small medical practice in a beautiful setting just outside Chudleigh, about 20 minutes' drive from the centre of Exeter. ·

A positive perspective on health

She started the practice after 12 years full time in the NHS, because she wanted to provide a different kind of service, one that was not feasible within the NHS. A practice which could allow much more time and space for patients; one which could really focus on people's well-being; a practice which could bring people the full benefits of homoeopathy together with expertise in conventional, "allopathic" medicine. ·

Time for effective treatment Patients enjoy the relaxed environment. Appointments are unhurried. Schedules are designed to meet your specific needs, not put under pressure by a long patient list or sudden emergency calls. ·

A personal perspective on well-being

Dr Soffe is married, with four children, so combines the perspectives of an experienced GP and homoeopath with that of any parent concerned about specific and unspecified childhood ailments. She loves the opportunities which homoeopathy presents in dealing especially with those problems where allopathic medicine tends to be less successful. Female patients particularly appreciate her understanding, and her open approach to a wider range of treatments, including lifestyle discussions, advice about HRT, breast checks and contraception.

Knowledge, understanding and caring for your health

An expert medical perspective

Dr Soffe has a rare combination of qualifications and experience both in "complementary" homoeopathic medicine and "conventional" allopathic medicine.

Her formal qualifications include: Licentiate of the Faculty of Homoeopathy (LF Hom); Bachelor of Medicine (MB); Bachelor of Surgery (ChB); Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians (LRCP); Member of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS); Diploma of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (DCOG).

A positive stimulus for your healing

Homoepathic medicines stimulate the body's defence and healing mechanisms. Most patients feel positive and well after taking treatment.

Unpleasant side effects are very rare in homoeopathy. Occasionally symptoms may become stronger for a little while; this is not a bad sign as it may show that the remedy is taking effect, and soon you will feel that you are recovering. ·

Fees

Dr Soffe will discuss with you the cost of consultations and treatment. She treats children and people over 65 at a reduced rate. Some health savings schemes (such as the HSA) and insurance schemes may cover the cost of your treatment.
