We are a very busy practice; however, our books remain open. Appointment allocations vary based on a rigorous triaging process that prioritises referrals based on the degree of urgency. When a cancellation appointment becomes available, it is first offered to patients who have an urgent need. We work hard to limit wait times, although due to the significant demand for specialist care, NEW appointment availability can extend up to 18 months.
We have extensive wait lists for all specialists at Frontier Dermatology. Patients must have an existing appointment to join a wait list. Being on the wait list does not guarantee that you will be offered an earlier appointment. We do our best to bring forward appointments as often as possible.
