FEE STRUCTURE
Our fees are structured based on how much time you spend with the doctor for the consult as well as any procedures involved (e.g. suturing of wounds). General practices do not receive funding from the government to provide health services. These fees help us cover the costs of operating the practice so that we can continue to provide you our services in a sustainable manner without compromising quality.
