Wirral Complementary Health Clinic

Most osteopaths are very busy and one shouldn't expect to be seen on the day of calling, especially if you are new to the practice or osteopath in question. This is not necessarily a bad thing! Often it is better for things to settle a little over a few days, but try to keep moving as best you can. However if you phone early there may be a free or cancelled afternoon appointment.

One should allow 1 hr for initial consultations & 1/2 hr for follow-ups. The fee is for the consultation/treatment & not for a set time slot. Time is needed for paper work & admin.

Appointments cancelled or simply not attended, without 24 hrs notice are charged for. Someone else, that may be suffering, could have been seen in this time & one day that may be you!

On occasions we may run late, we are sorry, if this is the case. Some cases are more complex than others & safety should not be compromised by rushing. Please, also understand we are unable to run late if you are late. You may be offered a short treatment or re-booking, depending on the situation.

Foot Note: Initial Consultation comprises of a:- full medical history, examination, tests etc., & usually includes treatment. On occasions we may need to refer you to your GP or elsewhere for further tests. This is for your safety & best care!
