Results will not be given out over the phone – Why?

For purposes of privacy, accuracy and confidentiality as well as medico-legal reasons, pathology and imaging results will NOT be given over the phone nor be given to any third party unless prior arrangements have been made between you and your doctor.

Please book to see your doctor or the next available doctor to discuss them.

We generally do not do home visits, however this can be discussed and booked if appropriate at a cost of $250 per home visit.

We will organise home visits on a case by case basis in special circumstances. We encourage patients to attend the clinic where we can access our full range of equipment so we can provide the best medical care and advice.

Due to confidentiality reasons – Phone calls from patients are generally not taken by the doctors during a consult due to confidentiality reasons.

Where appropriate you may leave a phone message for your doctor and they will make every effort to return your call within 24 hours.

If the matter is urgent, the doctor will take the call. In an emergency call “000”.
