At Ashby Medical Centre we provide an unmatched quality service to each patient who attends the practice. With high levels of professional experience and the specialised training to match, you can feel comfortable in the care of the friendly staff on duty.
Please call the practice on 9579 6777 during surgery hours to make an appointment with the doctor of your choice.
Please note that appointment times are only approximate, as delays may occur when emergencies arise or practitioners need to give extra time to very sick patients. At the time of making an appointment, please let the Receptionist know if you need a longer appointment. This helps reduce waiting time for others. If you wish to speak to the doctor by phone please let the receptionist know if your call is urgent. If not your doctor may choose to call you back at a later time.
Our email is not to be used for booking or cancelling appointments. If you need to book or cancel an appointment please call the practice.
Emergencies will be seen at any time without an appointment. It would be helpful if you could phone our medical centre in Penshurst before you arrive to let us know you are coming.
