Appointments
Rotem Medical Family Practice is an appointment-based practice to ensure every patient receives the time and attention they need.
- Online bookings: Appointment can be made at anytime through our secure AutoMed booking system, accessible via our website or mobile app.
- Phone bookings: If you prefer, our reception team can assist you with bookings during business hours.
- Walk-ins: We encourage patients to book ahead, as we do not routinely accept walk-in consultations. Urgent cases will be triaged and accommodated where possible.
- Appointment length: Standard appointments are usually 15 minutes. If you require a longer consultation (e.g. multiple issues, care plans, procedures, or medicals), please let us know at the time of booking or select long appointment.
Please arrive a few minutes early for your appointment, especially if you are a new patient or need to update your details.
Results, Reminder, and Recall System
- For most results, we ask that you book a follow-up appointment with your doctor.
- If results are urgent or require immediate attention, we will contact you directly.
- Test results are not given over the telephone by our Reception for privacy reasons and will be directed to make an appointment with a doctor.
Our practice utilises an automated, electronic reminder and recall system. All patients are encouraged to opt into electronic communications for the practice to send these reminders and recalls to you. Electronic communication also allows you to receive e-prescriptions, emailed referrals, appointment reminders, etc.
Recalls are requests for you to return to see your doctor regarding clinically significant results, such as abnormal pathology/radiology findings, or to discuss a recent specialist visit, etc. It is important that you attend this to ensure you are kept informed of your healthcare needs.
