AFTER-HOURS CARE · PORT ALFRED
After-hours information
Your health doesn't follow a schedule and emergencies don't keep office hours.
We offer an after-hours service for urgent healthcare needs when the practice is closed. Please read the following important points before calling.
Please note these important points about after-hours care
- We offer this service primarily to our own patients, but also to anyone else in urgent need. We are not able to offer routine appointments after hours.
- We are not waiting at the rooms; our after-hours services are on a call-out basis.
- We do charge an after-hours rate, which may vary depending on your medical aid or whether you pay cash.
