Other Useful Info
HOME VISITS – If patients are too sick to come to the surgery, we do visit patients on an urgent basis in the northern beaches area. It is important to remember that house calls are time consuming and often you may be calling the Doctors away from a busy surgery full of sick patients to attend to you at home. The Doctors also visit private patients in hospital and nursing homes.
RECALL SYSTEM – Our practice is committed to preventive care. We may issue you with a reminder notice or phone call from time to time, to remind you of follow up appointments and preventive health services appropriate to your care.
PRACTICE ETHICAL CODE – This practice is committed to providing comprehensive General Practice care to all individuals and families in this community. All patient consultations and medical records are kept strictly confidential.
All equipment used for surgery is ultrasonically cleaned and autoclaved.
