The doctors make every effort to run on time but sometimes an urgent problem may require extra time. You are welcome to call prior to your appointment to see if your doctor is running on time.

Upon your arrival, please present to reception.

Receptionist will ask you for your medical card and Personal Identification ID, correct patient identification is vital for patient safety and the maintenance of confidentiality.

                                     

Getting the results of any test

If your doctor has asked you to have some tests done, it is important that you make an appointment to review the test results. Privacy Policy prevents staff from discussing results over the phone. Giving results in person is the safest medical practice. Reception will contact patients that require review as a recall. All contact relating to recall patients is documented in the patient’s records. If the review is urgent the doctor will contact the patient.
