Emergencies include a high fever, coughing, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, rash, acute pain, or a general unwell child. We open at 8am and it is recommended that you phone us as early as possible to secure an appointment slot.
If all the emergency slots are already filled for the day, please do not hesitate to call another health care provider for an appointment, or present to your nearest emergency medical facility.
For any afterhours emergencies that cannot wait until the next day, please proceed to your nearest medical centre’s emergency unit. If your child is admitted to hospital or if the emergency doctor on duty needs a second opinion, they will contact the paediatrician on call.
Note: Dr Nadia is unable to see any trauma emergencies, or cases that require surgical procedures at her practice. Please proceed to you nearest hospital’s emergency room in the event of the above.
