Consultations with our doctors are tailored around your individual needs and can be either in person or virtual.

If you are a new patient, you will be asked to complete a registration form and provide us with your medical history. It is important that you complete your medical history as accurately as possible as this will allow the doctor to focus on your health concern safely.

Here is an overview of our consultation options and what they are most suited to. If you are in any doubt about which type of appointment is most appropriate for your needs, we are more than happy to provide guidance.

We aim to action any follow up immediately, so do schedule enough time for our clinicians to initiate appropriate actions as part of each consultation.
