For your best management, we encourage you to make an appointment to discuss results. However you can contact the clinic to obtain results from our receptionists. They can only inform you if results are normal, or if a further appointment is recommended. To maintain confidentiality results will only be given to the patient unless prior arrangements have been made with the doctor. You can request a copy of the results for your own personal records.
