We offer appointments in order to reduce the waiting times for patients. Every effort will be made to accommodate your preferred time and doctor; however this may not always be possible. A normal appointment length is fifteen minutes. Please inform our receptionist if you require extra time or if more than one person will be seeing the doctor.

Patients can also be seen without an appointment as a walk-in; however, priority will be given to those patients with appointments. All patients with potentially life-threatening symptoms are also given priority.

Please call to cancel any appointments you cannot attend!

Running Late!
Our doctors may be running late if they are delayed with urgent or complicated cases, or if earlier patients have themselves arrived late. We thank you for waiting and apologise in advance.
