Consultations & Emergencies
About this service
A general consultation, or first visit, in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic is your initial appointment with one of our doctors to discuss a new health concern and plan the care that follows. Whether you are new to the practice or bringing up an issue for the first time, this visit gives your doctor the chance to take a full history, examine you, and understand your overall health picture. From there, your doctor can recommend tests, treatment, or a referral if needed.
It is also a good opportunity to establish an ongoing relationship with a doctor who knows your background. Book your first consultation with Eastgate Clinic to get started.

Frequently asked questions
What happens at my first visit to a new GP?
Your doctor takes a full history covering past illnesses, operations, allergies, family history and current medication, then examines you and discusses the concern that brought you in. It sets the baseline for all your future care with us.
How do I register as a new patient at Eastgate Clinic?
Book online or phone us, then arrive a few minutes early with your ID and medical aid card so reception can open your file. If you have records from a previous practice, bring them along.
Should I bring my old medical records to a first consultation?
Yes, if you have them. Old results, specialist letters and a list of your medicines save time and help your doctor avoid repeating tests you have already had.
