Your First Appointment

Thank you for choosing us as your care provider.

On the day of your appointment, please arrive 10-minutes early to ensure we have enough time to prepare any outstanding paperwork.

We are mindful that your time is valuable and would like to avoid keeping you waiting. However, occasionally a patient may present that requires a little extra time spent on them, which may cause unforeseeable scheduling delays beyond our control. Where possible, we will advise you if we are running late. We apologise in advance if you are kept waiting.

During your first appointment, a thorough medical and diagnostic work-up may be required. If you have completed any tests (blood test results, MRI within 6-months, X-Ray, CT scan, etc), please email these to our administration team prior to your appointment date so that Dr Hargreaves can thoroughly review them during your appointment.
