To maintain the level of care we expect for our existing patients, our current capacity is focused on returning patients and those with specific concerns.

 

We will continue to see:

  • returning patients, and

  • patients with up to three lesions needing review or treatment.

If this applies to you, please contact us and we’ll arrange the next suitable appointment.
