Covid 19
If you are unwell please phone or email us to reschedule your appointment
We ask patients to come to their appointment no more than 5 minutes prior to their appointment, to come with minimal number of people with you and if preferred after checking in you may wait in your car- you will be called when the doctor is ready.
New Patients by referral only
Due to an increasing number of new patients and a growing wait time for appointments we are unable to register any new patients except by referral from your General Practitioner. We are currently only seeing urgent new patients. If you wish to be seen and are not currently registered with Wellington Dermatology, please see your GP in the first instance. This is a temporary measure to ensure we are available to our existing patients and are prioritising more urgent cases. Existing patients of Wellington Dermatology will be seen as normal. Existing patients of Dr Jennifer Pilgrim can be seen but there is a 6-12 month wait time. If there is anything of immediate concern, please see your G.P for a referral.
