What to Expect
During your consultation, our pharmacist will ask about your symptoms and examine your ear using specialist equipment. If treatment is appropriate, it can usually be provided during the same appointment. If your symptoms require further investigation, we'll explain the next steps and, if necessary, refer you to another healthcare professional.
