21.01.2022 To All Our Valued Patients - Be Prepared and Not Scared! We understand that COVID-19 is causing a lot of uncertainty at present and things are changing daily.

With this, it brings changes to how we conduct our everyday practices. When making appointments you will be asked what your ...travel status has been and if you have any current respiratory symptoms.This will determine on how best to help you.
