Blood Pressure Checks

We now have an automated blood pressure machine. If you have high blood pressure and need a blood pressure check- please come in 15 minutes before your appointment to allow time for blood pressure readings.

Urgent Appointments-Expanded Hours

Urgent appointments will be available from 10:30- 11:45 am Monday to Friday and afternoons (except Thursday) from 3:30- 4:30 pm. They are suitable for problems that have come up since the office last closed or quick visits such as medication refills or blood pressure checks etc. They are available on a first come first served basis- please call if possible so we know who will be coming in. For other routine and follow-up visits please phone to make a regular appointment.

On-line Appointments

These are now available to all registered patients- you no longer need us to assign you a password to use this feature. For more details check here.

Prevention

Are you a male aged between 40 and 49 or female between 50 and 59? The medical service plan now covers screening for heart disease risk factors such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. There is now no charge for a cholesterol check and subsequent office visit to determine your risk of heart disease. Please call the office for more details or an appointment.
