Services

Our standard consultation appointment with a doctor is based on fifteen minutes.

We ask patients to consider asking for extra time if they believe their problem may be difficult or is of a complex manner.

With the increasing complexity and choices in managing medical problems we ask that you have one problem per appointment. You may be required to return or make a telephone consultation for follow-up and discussion about your results and investigations.

We ask for your help and understanding in this matter so as we are able to see you at your arranged time.

There may be times when a remote consultation is appropriate. This may be by telephone,video or email/text. This type of consultation would only be initiated with your consent and understanding. You may wish to phone and ask to speak to a nurse or a doctor. It may more convenient for you to have followup of tests and/or investigations by phone. This can be discussed with your doctor or nurse at the time of your face to face consultation.

Home visits are provided to those who are in need of this service. Unless these are urgent they will be placed at the end of the morning or afternoon sessions.
