Why is my doctor running late?
Our doctors and receptionists are not always able to preempt how long an appointment will take. Seemingly simple problems may need further exploration and discussion.

Occasionally an unforeseen emergency patient may require medical attention and need to be fitted in. We ask for your understanding in these incidences.
