Appointments
The easiest way for you to see your doctor is to make an appointment. Doctors make every effort to see appointments as close to time as possible, unavoidable delays can occur when our doctors must attend to a patient with complex or serious medical conditions.
If you are unable to attend your appointment please notify our reception staff at least 3 hours before your appointment time.
Some consultations may require a longer appointment for things such as insurance/pre-employment medicals or you may have problems that need more time to discuss. Please inform the receptionist when booking if you may require an extended appointment.
We encourage you to see the doctor of your choice to ensure continuity of care and the establishment of a professional relationship.
