Frequently Asked Questions
What are your surgery hours?
Our surgery is open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. All appointments can be made on 02 7252 2842.
Can I book an open access endoscopy or colonoscopy?
If you need a gastroscopy or colonoscopy and you are in a health fund or a self-funded private patient, you may be suitable to have this booked as an open access procedure. This means your colonoscopy with Dr MacDermid can be arranged and booked over the telephone with our practice nurse, without having to wait for an appointment with Dr MacDermid beforehand.
Call our office to find out more.
