Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare for my consultation to make the most of the time?
To maximize your appointment, prepare a brief list of your main symptoms (when they started, how often they occur), your current medications (including supplements), and any relevant medical history or questions you have. The more organized you are, the more time the doctor can spend on diagnosis and planning.
What is the difference between a general consultation and seeing a specialist?
A general consultation with a GP focuses on overall health, managing acute common illnesses, preventative advice, and determining if a referral is needed. A specialist consultation is focused solely on a specific area (like cardiology or dermatology) to diagnose and manage complex or chronic issues within that field.
Will the doctor provide a treatment plan in the first consultation?
Often, yes. The doctor will usually discuss immediate options, which may include prescribing medication, recommending lifestyle changes, or suggesting further diagnostic steps like blood tests or scans. If a diagnosis is complex, the first visit may focus on initial testing to inform the treatment plan.
What information should I expect to receive after the consultation?
You should expect to receive a clear summary of the diagnosis (or working diagnosis), detailed information on any prescribed medication (including dosage and side effects), and a plan for follow-up care or testing. Don't hesitate to ask for a printout or digital summary of the key points.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
We require you to notify the clinic as soon as possible, typically at least 24 hours in advance. This allows us to offer the slot to another patient who needs care. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee, as detailed in our clinic policy.
