Same Day Urgent and Duty Appointments

Exciting news! Our clinic is here to help with daily same-day urgent appointments available for booking on the very day you need them! These are perfect for addressing immediate and singular issues, like feeling under the weather or dealing with injuries. Just a quick reminder—these slots are dedicated to urgent issues, and not routine follow-ups.

However, if you are unable to get an appointment with your family doctor, we do offer duty clinic appointments Monday - Thursday in the afternoon and evenings by appointment only.
