Consultations & Emergencies
About this service
A general consultation is your visit to see the doctor for any new or ongoing health concern, and it is one of the most common reasons patients come to Eastgate Clinic in Windhoek. During the appointment your doctor will listen to your symptoms, examine you, and work out what is going on before recommending tests or treatment. Consultations happen in our rooms at the practice.
Whether it is a cold that will not clear, ongoing pain, or a concern you just want checked, this is the appointment to book. Medical aid and private patients are both welcome, and you can book your visit online in a few minutes.

Frequently asked questions
What can I see the GP about at a general consultation?
Anything new or ongoing: a cough that will not clear, pain, a rash, or a worry you simply want checked. Your doctor listens, examines you and works out the next step, whether that is treatment, a test or a follow-up.
Do I need to book before seeing the doctor at Eastgate Clinic?
Booking online ahead of time gives you a set slot and shortens your wait. We also try to fit in walk-in patients on the day when the diary allows.
Can I get a sick note at a general consultation?
Yes. If your doctor examines you and finds you unfit for work or school, a medical certificate can be issued during the same visit.
