Consultations & Emergencies
About this service
An extended consultation in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic gives you a longer appointment with your doctor when you have complex or multiple health concerns that need more time than a standard visit allows. Some issues cannot be properly discussed in a short slot, especially when several symptoms are involved, a chronic condition needs a thorough review, or you simply have a number of questions to work through.
Booking an extended consultation in our rooms means your doctor can take a fuller history, examine you properly, and explain findings without feeling rushed. If you feel a standard appointment will not be enough, ask to book extended time when you call.
What to expect

- Your doctor takes a detailed history of your concerns

Frequently asked questions
When should I book an extended consultation rather than a standard one?
Book extended time when you have several problems to raise, a chronic condition due for a full review, or a new diagnosis you want explained properly. Ask for it when you book so the diary can be set up accordingly.
What happens during an extended doctor consultation?
Your doctor works through each concern in turn, takes a fuller history and examines you thoroughly, then explains the findings and options without the clock pressing. You leave with a clear plan for any tests, medication changes or referrals.
Is an extended consultation billed differently?
Yes, it is billed as a longer consultation because more of the doctor's time is set aside. Medical aid plans and private rates treat this differently, so contact the clinic before booking if you would like to know what applies.
