DEAR PATIENTS, PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BELOW- THERE IS A CHANGE TO LAB ACCESS DETAILED BELOW ALSO.
PHONES: We have 2 new phone numbers , please use the one appropriate for you ( SEE ABOVE). The phones will be manned by an MOA, 8.30 to 5pm Mon-Fri ( closed 12.30-1.30pm for lunch)
We are making telephone appointments with your doctor initially. If needed, we can also schedule video appointments. Increasingly we are able to see you in person, in our office, but rest assured we have agreed strict policies regarding this to minimize risk of cross infection. Please read this letter about our gradual reopening.
IF YOU NEED PRESCRIPTIONS OR TO SPEAK TO A DOCTOR, PLEASE PHONE OUR OFFICE AND TALK TO AN MOA.
PRIVATE NUMBERS FOR PHONE CALLS:
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PHONES WILL ACCEPT CALLS FROM PRIVATE NUMBERS, WE WILL BE MAINLY CALLING FROM HOME TO MINIMIZE CONTACT AND WILL BE USING OUR OWN PHONES WITH THE NUMBER BLOCKED FOR OBVIOUS REASONS!
