Medical Concerns:

We understand that your time is important and that you may wish to discuss multiple issues during one appointment. We would be grateful if you let us know about all of your concerns in advance so that we can set aside an appropriate amount of time for you.

For non-urgent appointments for chronic issues please expect to wait around 2-3 weeks to see a doctor. We triage on a case-by-case basis, and try to keep a few same day/ urgent appointments available for issues that require immediate assessment.
