Contact us on (03) 94671444 for an appointment
The clinic runs an appointment system. Presently appointments are made by telephone or in person, however we look forward to soon be offering a user-friendly online booking system.
A standard appointment usually deals with 1 – 2 issues and for this we allow up to 15 minutes. Should you feel you have more concerns you would like discussed then we encourage you to make a longer appointment. Please inform our friendly reception staff if you are wanting to book for specific care plans or procedures as these often involve longer appointments and may also involve time being allocated with our nursing staff as well as the doctor. While we endeavor to run on time, the nature of health care is that delays sometimes happen and we thank you for your patience if this occurs. As can be expected, emergency cases are given priority and we trust that you will understand if an emergency is seen before you.
HOME VISITS
Some of our doctors will offer home visits for patients who are unable to be seen at the clinic. We ask that you discuss this with your doctor directly or our reception team to arrange.
Many of our doctors care for residents of surrounding Aged Care Facilities and we see this as a very important part of our role in the community. Please contact or reception staff to discuss this further.
