Patient Information

Appointments
We are an appointment based practice. Appointment booking is available online, via telephone & on-site. Walk-ins are welcome too but priority will be given to patients who have booked in.

A standard consultation is between 10 to 15 minutes. If you require pap smears, have more than one issue to discuss or a complex problem, such as insurance medical, minor surgeries, immunisation or pregnancy/antenatal check-ups, please kindly advise our reception staff that you require a long consultation or arrange a long appointment online.

We are happy to receive an appointment with more than one family member, but please make sure you have made an appointment for each member prior to attending. Patients without appointments attending the consultation might incur extra cost and cause unnecessary delays.

Please notify our reception staff upon your arrival. If you have been sitting at the waiting area for more than 20 minutes, please ask our reception staff to check that your arrival has been entered onto the computer.

Languages
Our team members are able to speak English and Cantonese, Mandarin or Vietnamese.
