Going to seek help for STD’s and have tests can be a worrying experience.
Many people are embarrassed and dread the thought of long queues at their local sexual health clinic. They may worry about what to expect, or that they might meet someone they know etc. Many men and women feel embarrassed to be asked questions about their sex life. At our clinic we understand this and try to make the experience of STI /STD testing as hassle and worry free as possible.
We try and schedule appointments to suit our patients timetables.
Our clinic is small and led by an experienced doctor. Only one patient is seen at a time, so there are no waiting lines or cramped waiting rooms full of people.
Everything is confidential and notes and test results are kept anonymous.
The doctor will talk to you about your health and any symptoms that you may be experiencing, or whether you want to get checked for your piece of mind. Sometimes, the doctor may then need to perform an examination if they think it is necessary.
You will be told about all of the tests we have on offer. Our tests are the most sophisticated that are available and performed in excellent laboratories with highly qualified staff.
Some require a urine sample, others may require a swab to be taken, or perhaps a blood test, if you want one. Test results take between 2 and 5 working days to return, to give you reassurance as quickly as possible.
If the doctor thinks you need treatment then you will be given that in clinic. When test results return, you will be contacted by the doctor over the telephone/or by your choice of communication. Utmost care is taken to maintain your privacy and confidentiality. You will be given an opportunity to discuss results. Together with our doctor you will be able to make decisions about the treatment you require.
Most patients are relieved that they came to our clinic and recommend us for the high level of service we provide. Maybe we can help you one day.
