New Patients

Unfortunately, due to an unsustainably high demand in our services, Wellington Dermatology is temporarily unable to receive new referrals for any of our dermatologists, this includes GP referrals.

We are sorry to have to take this step and hope to be able to receive referrals again in the new year.  In the meantime we recommend you contact your G.P. or another dermatology practice.

Will you be able to see me as a new patient in the future?

Yes we will open up our books for new patients as soon as we are able to do so.

You will need a GP referral to see us and we will open up for urgent referrals in the first instance.

Please check our website for updates.
