After Hours Medical Services
For after hour’s medical attention you may contact our Locum Service - Doctor Doctor on 13 26 60.
Or alternatively you may attend the Emergency Department of Dandenong Hospital, Casey Hospital or Frankston Hospital.
Home Visits
It is always desirable for patients to be seen at the Centre as your Doctor can examine and treat you more efficiently where all our facilities are available. If, however, the patient is too ill to attend the Centre then a house call can be arranged where such visits are deemed safe and reasonable, provided that the patient meets the criteria for home visits.
Please ring as early as possible in the day for arrangements to be made.
