FAQ Page
HOW DO I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?
Main Street Cosmetic & Skin runs an appointment system for your convenience, but we do keep times aside to fit in problems requiring urgent attention. You can make an appointment by telephoning reception on 03 9739 3830. Please inform our receptionists of any unusual time constraints or if you require a longer appointment.
We try to minimise waiting times, but delays are sometimes unavoidable – this is because some consultations take longer than expected and emergencies do arise. If you wish you can phone the clinic prior to your consultation to check on waiting times.
HOW CAN I CONTACT MY DOCTOR?
Your doctor will take phone calls relating to your healthcare in a timely manner. However, remember that these calls will often occur when your doctor is in a consultation with another patient. Please phone us if your matter is urgent and understand that these calls may only be brief at times. If the doctor is unable to take the call, be assured they will call you back as soon as possible.
SELF CHECK IN KIOSK
When you arrive at Main Street Cosmetic & Skin, you can now check-in using our iPad kiosk. If you need any assistance – please head to reception.
WHAT IF I NEED A PRESCRIPTION?
Prescriptions for regular medications MAY be obtained without consultation if your doctor deems it appropriate. However, for antibiotics, contraceptives, sedatives and painkillers a consultation is required. Please do not take offence if a prescription is refused without an appointment, it is Main Street Cosmetic & Skin policy that limited medications be provided without a thorough medical check.
