Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer telephone consultations?

Yes, we do. In light of the current COVID-19 situation, we are now offering telephone consultations. Please call us on 02 4476 5588 to book your telephone appointment. Alternatively, you can book an appointment online in which instance, we will get in touch with you to confirm your appointment.

Do I need to make an appointment or do you accept walk-ins?

We suggest making an appointment as we cannot guaranty that you’ll be able to see the doctor without one. This is because we prioritise those with appointments over walk-ins. So, for you to not waste your time and plan your day better, booking an appointment is the best course of action.

How do I get a medical certificate?

Medical certificates can be provided by a doctor, following a consultation. Please note that medical certificates cannot be backdated. So, please make sure you consult early in your illness if you need a medical certificate.

How do I transfer my medical records from my previous doctor to your practice?

You will need a referral from a GP to see a specialist. So, please make an appointment with a GP to get a referral first and your GP will assist you.
