New Patients by referral only
We are currently only seeing urgent new patients referred by their General Practitioner. This is due to a shortage of dermatologists in Wellington, a growing wait time for appointments and the need to prioritise urgent cases. If you have a skin concern and are not currently registered with Wellington Dermatology, please see your GP in the first instance. This also applies to patients of Dr Jennifer Pilgrim. Existing patients of Wellington Dermatology will be seen as usual.
Christmas Closure
We are closed from 23rd December 2022 to 17th January 2023. Emails and phone messages will be responded to on our return to work in 2023. If you have anything urgent during this time please see your GP.
