Every effort will be made to accommodate your preferred time. Emergencies will always be given priority and our reception staff will attempt to contact you if there are any changes.
Longer consultation times are available, so please advise our receptionist if you require extra time. Please advise the receptionist if the appointment is for more than one person.
Please let us know if you change your address or phone number.
