Fee Schedule

Vitality Healthcare Medical Centre is a mixed billing general practice. We are committed to provide our patients with the highest quality medical care and service in a professional and caring environment. The fees charged reflect the time you spend with the doctors, the complexity of your issues, and any procedures performed during your consultation.

• • Kids under 16 year-old
