Appointments
All consultations are by appointment. Every effort will be made to accommodate your preferred time and doctor.
​
If you have a number of things, or a complex matter to discuss, please ask for a long appointment.
​
A separate appointment is required for each person that requires a consultation with the Doctor (even if you are seeing the same doctor).
​
If you require forms to be completed by your Doctor, please make an appointment.
​
if you require a referral or a script, please book a consultation or request through HotDocs. Requests for this to be completed outside of a consultation will not be completed without a consult.
Urgent Appointments
We make every effort to facilitate appointments for urgent care. Our team will ask you about your need and assist to identify a suitable appointment.
​
Walk in Appointments
All consultations are by appointment. We do not accept walk-in appointments. We advise you to call the clinic before attending in person.
