300+ allergens tested from a single blood draw. Clinician-interpreted results. No GP referral needed. Serving Epsom (KT17/KT18) residents at our Surbiton clinic — approximately 20 minutes via the A240.
Lambert Medical Practice is located at 380 Ewell Road, Tolworth, Surbiton KT6 7BE — approximately 7 miles and a 20-minute drive from Epsom town centre.
From Epsom, take the A240 Reigate Road/Kingston Road north towards Tolworth. The clinic is on the right as you enter the Tolworth area on Ewell Road. Journey time is typically 20 minutes outside peak hours.
From Epsom station, take a train to Surbiton (changing at Worcester Park or direct services on some routes). From Surbiton station, the clinic is a short taxi ride or walk along Ewell Road.
Around 20 minutes by car via the A240. This is a straight, easy route with no major traffic pinch points outside of peak times.
Free parking is available on adjacent side streets near the clinic. There is no parking charge at or near the clinic.
Epsom and the surrounding Surrey countryside are beautiful — but they also come with significant pollen exposure. The North Downs, Epsom Common, and the racecourse grounds mean Epsom residents are often exposed to substantial grass and tree pollen loads throughout spring and summer. If you suffer from hayfever, skin reactions, food allergies, or unexplained symptoms, you may have been living with undiagnosed triggers for years.
Many patients arrive at Lambert Medical having tried antihistamines and nasal sprays for years without ever knowing which specific allergens are responsible. The ALEX3 molecular allergy test changes that — 300 allergens tested in a single blood draw, with clinician-interpreted results that identify your specific triggers at the molecular level.
Common symptoms in Epsom residents that prompt allergy testing include:
ALEX3 — Allergy Explorer 3 — is a molecular component-resolved allergy test that represents a major advance over traditional allergy diagnostics. While a standard skin prick test might identify that you react to "grass pollen" or "peanut," ALEX3 goes further and identifies exactly which molecular proteins within those allergens are responsible for your immune response.
This level of detail matters enormously in clinical practice. Take peanut allergy as an example: if your ALEX3 test shows sensitisation to Ara h 2 (a storage protein), this is associated with a higher risk of severe systemic reactions. If you are sensitised only to Ara h 8 (a PR-10 protein), this is typically a cross-reactive response linked to birch pollen and is usually associated with milder oral symptoms — often tolerated when peanuts are roasted or processed. This distinction has real implications for how your allergy is managed.
ALEX3 screens 300 allergens including 218 individual molecular components in a single blood draw, covering:
Unlike skin prick tests, ALEX3 requires no antihistamine withdrawal and no fasting. The analysis is performed at a certified laboratory, and results are available in 7–10 working days as a detailed report interpreted by one of our GMC-registered doctors.
ALEX3 is used by NHS specialist allergy centres for complex cases, and Lambert Medical brings this technology to Epsom residents without the need for a referral or waiting list.
Grass pollens (Timothy, Rye, Bermuda), tree pollens (birch, oak, alder, hazel, olive), weed pollens (mugwort, ragweed, plantain). Particularly relevant in rural Surrey where pollen counts are high.
D. pteronyssinus, D. farinae, and storage mites — a leading trigger for perennial allergic rhinitis and eczema in UK homes.
Cat, dog, horse (highly relevant for Epsom residents given the town's equestrian heritage), guinea pig, hamster, rabbit. Molecular testing confirms whether reactions are truly animal-driven.
All 14 major food allergens and many more — with specific molecular components for risk stratification. Nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, shellfish, fish, soy, sesame, fruits, vegetables.
Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium — common triggers in damp environments and during autumn months.
Honeybee, common wasp, paper wasp, hornet — with specific molecular components for anaphylaxis risk assessment. Plus natural rubber latex.
