Hi everyone
We currently have a blackout so are without our services/computers etc.
If you have an appointment we can still attempt to help you however if it is non urgent and/or requires us to access your notes/results etc it may be best to call us later and reschedule.
We apologise for any inconvenience and will post on here when we can resume full services.

Robyn gets her car serviced every year, so she thought she should do the same for her herself. Doctors found a hole in her heart.

*****Online bookings*****
Online booking can be made through the healthengine website https://healthengine.com.au/medical-centre/sa/salisbury-heights/salisbury-heights-surgery/s17490
or App https://healthengine.com.au/app-download

Previously you would be able to book appointments though our 'book now' button on this page. However some time ago this was updated to Facebook's own system and appointments were offered to patients with no integration with our own booking software! 🙄 Obviously this caused great confusion at times and we apologise if this has happened to you.
The 'book now' button has now been replaced with a 'contact us' button which links to healthengine to make an online booking.

Hopefully this clears up some of the confusion as we feel online bookings are important especially for those times we are closed and not available by phone.

Note: Healthengine bookings appear on our system as 'in-person' appointments. Should you wish to change this to a telehealth appointment please call us and request the change.

Find and book health appointments online, 24/7. View all available appointments in your local area and choose a time and place that suits you.
