Home Visits

Our doctors are available for house calls. This service is reserved for urgent issues when the patient cannot attend the clinic, and for frail or elderly patients. Routine consultations are always better carried out in the clinic.

If you anticipate needing a home visit, please call the receptionist before 12 noon to arrange it. Please note: we are only able to visit patients within a certain geographical area surrounding the clinic. Our receptionist can inform you of the details when you call.

Our doctors also regularly attend all nursing homes and assisted care facilities in the area.
