When making an appointment to see one of our Doctors, please ensure that you let the reception team know, if you have recently returned from China or have been in recent contact with someone who has recently returned from China. This allows us to isolate you from the waiting room and provide appropriate care for all our patients.

The Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) may cause supply interruptions of some medications. Doctors on Darling recommend that you ensure that you have current prescriptions for all regular medications. It is suggested that you have at least 1-3 months supply on hand.
