No. The only clinic is in Point Cook. The suburb pages exist to show how far it is and what to expect.
How do I choose which doctor to see?
Read the profiles on Our Team, which list each doctor’s interests and, for some, the languages they speak. Then ask for that doctor when you book.
Can I have phone appointments if I live further away?
Yes, for problems that do not need an examination. To keep using phone consultations, you must have been seen in person at least once in the past year.
Is there a home-visit service for these suburbs?
