What To Expect at Your Chelmer Emergency Visit
Your comfort comes first. We start by easing the pain, then take a proper look at what has caused the problem, using an x-ray where it helps. We will explain what we have found in plain language, lay out the choices, and make sure you understand the cost before we begin. Wherever possible we treat you on the spot so you are not left waiting for relief.
Fees, health funds & payment options
Ours is a private billing practice, which means we discuss the fees with you openly before anything happens. We would rather you feel informed and comfortable than surprised by a bill.

Any diagnostic tests required (e.g. X-rays)
Whether treatment can be completed at the same appointment
For patients with private cover, we provide the item numbers you need to make a claim, and we are open to discussing payment options so care stays within reach. Ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
