Why do I need to see the nurse?
The nurse assists the doctor to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
The nurse may assist in procedures and take some observations before your consult so the doctor has a more complete picture of your health.
Why is my doctor running late?
Our doctors and receptionists are not able to preempt how long an appointment will take.
Seemingly simple problems may need further exploration and discussion.
Our doctors are thorough and will not ask a patient to leave until they are confident the highest standard of care has been given.
This may cause a delay.
Occasionally an unforeseen emergency patient may require medical attention and need to be fitted in.
We ask for your understanding in these incidences.
Can I get my medical certificate/referral changed or backdated?
If you would like your medical certificate extended, you will need to return to your GP for an appointment so they can evaluate your condition.
