Surgery Appointments.

For routine appointments please telephone 0131-663-1051. The receptionist will give you the first available appointment with the doctor of your choice. Whilst you are free to consult any doctor, it is often best to follow an illness through with the same doctor if possible.

We also offer telephone consultations, for patients who feel that their condition can be dealt with on the telephone with the doctor. These appointments are pre-bookable, and the doctor will telephone you at the appointed time. Please ask the receptionist for information.

If you cannot keep an appointment, either face to face or telephone please let us know as soon as possible so that this appointment can be offered to someone else. Please note that we try to keep to time during appointment surgeries, but problems vary enormously and we cannot guarantee never to run late.

Urgent and Emergency Consultations.

If you feel that you cannot wait until the first available appointment, the receptionist will arrange for a doctor to triage you on the telephone to assess your clinical need. The doctor will ‘phone you back as soon as possible.

House Calls

The doctors will visit patients who cannot manage to attend the Medical Centre. For routine house calls, please telephone 0131-663-1051 (preferably before 10.00 am) and leave your information with the receptionist.

A doctor will visit you some time during the morning. For more urgent and emergency house call requests the receptionist will put you through to a doctor who will take the appropriate action.
