BOOKING

We appreciate a phone call if you are going to be late or need to change the time. If appointments are not kept without letting us know in reasonable time to re-book them, a fee may be charged.
It is very helpful if you can say whether your appointment is a particular need such as ACC, driver’s medical, cervical smear, new baby 6wk check, etc. so you can be fitted in appropriately. If you think you may need more time please ask for a longer appointment.
