Results

When your doctor sends you for any investigations, it is essential that you return to see your doctor to discuss the results.

It is the policy of this practice that NO results will be given over the phone. It is important for you to know and understand the results of your investigations and what further follow-up may or may not be required.

All patients must make a follow-up appointment to see the doctor to discuss the results.
Patients who have URGENT abnormal results will be contacted by one of our nurses requesting you to make an appointment with the doctor as soon as possible.

Patients with non-urgent results will either be contacted by phone, SMS, or mail.
