Arrival & consultation times

Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment so reception can complete your registration. A first consultation usually takes 30 to 45 minutes; special investigations may take longer.

What to bring

Your ID document, medical aid card, referral letter (if you have one), your current medication in the packaging or your latest script, and any previous ECGs, scans or reports from other practitioners. Please fill in and sign the patient agreement form beforehand and bring it to your visit.
