Phoning Your Doctor
Most problems are best dealt with in a consultation, so the appropriate attention can be devoted to resolving your questions. However, a doctor will always be available during normal surgery hours for emergency advice.
Obtaining Test Results
Laboratory tests will take on average 5 days to be processed. Please make an appointment with your doctor so that adequate time can be devoted to a detailed explanation of your results. The policy at Life Medical Bexley is that results in general won’t be given over the phone, emailed, nor posted to patients.
