Doctors

You are free to see any of the doctors as we all share in the care of every patient in the practice. You can ask to see a particular doctor for routine appointments and this may aid continuity of care. However, there may be times when a particular doctor is not available. In that case it may be best to see whichever doctor is available. You cannot request a specific doctor to see you if your condition requires urgent or emergency care, since we can only respond to your request in these situations with whichever doctor is readily available. When booking routine appointments please indicate in which location you wish to be seen.
