Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

Do you have female doctors available for women’s health consultations at Westside Medical Centre?

Yes. All GPs at Westside Medical Centre can provide women’s health care, and if you prefer to see a female doctor, we have more than 10 female GPs available for women’s health consultations.

Cervical screening tests have replaced traditional Pap smears for most patients. For routine screening, low-risk patients can choose between a self-collected swab or a clinician-collected swab.

All of our GPs can insert and remove Implanon implants. Some GPs are also trained to insert IUDs, and your GP can arrange referral to another doctor for IUD insertion if needed.
