We require payment on the day of your consultation.
Osteopathic Consultation Times
Initial Consultation: 60 minutes
Subsequent Consultation: 30 minutes
First-time visitors to the clinic, we allocate 60 Minutes for your Initial Consultation. This allows us to get to know you and your condition. It also allows us to provide you with the highest possible care, ensuring your health and safety.

We value both your time and ours. As a courtesy to others who may be in pain and in need of help. Please provide at least 24 hours notice if you are unable to attend your consultation. This allows us to help others a little sooner.
