OUR DOCTORS
Once the consulation is over, our doctors send you a report by e-mail, with all the details and information you discussed with them.
Our standard GP appointment are 20 minutes. From our experience is usually long enough to help you with most health problems. In this time together we listen, examine and work with you to find the best answer possible to your concerns.
Every imaginable health need can be explored - from coughs to contraception, anxiety to asthma, cystitis to second opinions, insomnia to insurance, diabetes to driving medicals.
At the first meeting your counsellor may explain factors like the length of the session (50 minutes), the reasons for the need to commit to weekly sessions (it provides you and the therapist with a contained space in which to work consistently) and the cancellation policy. It's important to be on time for your counselling sessions, because they will stay till the end at the agreed on time even if you are late.
Our pediatrician is here to help you for everything regarding your children. We know that it can be difficult for new parents to know exactly what to do and that the slightest problem with their newborn can be very worrying. Our pediatrician is pleased to answer all your questions and concerns regarding your newborn and children. She is also available for consultations at home.
Dermatologists have extensive training including microbiology, pathology, biochemistry, physics, physiology, and endocrinology. They also must be knowledgeable of other medical specialties because of their diagnostic work and because skin diseases are frequently associated with other areas of the body.

During a session you are likely to be encouraged to explore the problems you are facing and express your resulting emotions and thoughts. It is not like idle small talk, nor is it like being interviewed with questions. Your counsellor places his or her full attention on you, asks relevant things about what you share, makes sure that they have understood what you said, and allows silences for you to reflect.
There is no 'typical' therapy session, or standard way of working. Some therapists (particularly CBT counsellors) set an agenda for each session and will review progress with you at regular intervals, so that you can identify and acknowledge your progress. They may also give you homework to do or things to think about outside of therapy, so that your progress continues between sessions.
Counselling is a very personal process and it is important to acknowledge that there will be times during your therapy where it is necessary to talk about uncomfortable and painful things. Whatever you say in the counselling session is, however, confidential (subject to legal and ethical exceptions, and the fact that a therapist will have a supervisor monitoring them) and your psychologist will offer guidance and support to help you through this process.
You may be offered counselling as a single session or as a short-term course of sessions over a period of weeks or months.
For example a female with hirsutism may visit a dermatologist to treat their excessive hair growth. This patient may then need to be referred to a gynecologist and an endocrinologist should the hirsutism be an effect of polycystic ovarian disease. These consultants will liaise with each other forwarding patient results and treatment care plans, resulting in an extremely thorough and patient-centered care regime.
Dermatologists diagnose and treat more than 3,000 different diseases. These diseases include skin cancer, eczema, acne, psoriasis, nail infections, warts, fungal and yeast infections and dermatitis. Dermatologists also improve the appearance of their patients' skin, hair, and nails. For example, a dermatologist can help patients reduce fine lines and wrinkles, laxity and age spots and also improve the appearance of scar tissue.
