Patients from Umhlanga can consult Dr Timmal at Isipingo Hospital or St Augustine’s Hospital in Durban. The practice does not currently have consulting rooms in Umhlanga. Please confirm the hospital on your booking before making travel arrangements.
Choose the appropriate appointment
A gynaecology consultation may concern periods, contraception, menopause, pelvic symptoms or other reproductive-health questions. Pregnancy care is also available through the practice. Explain the reason for your visit when booking so reception can advise about the appointment and any records to bring.
Our services page describes the main areas of care. An initial assessment determines which investigations or treatment options are appropriate; not every consultation includes the same tests.
Prepare before travelling
Bring previous results if available, your medicine list and a short set of questions. If you are returning after treatment elsewhere, bring the relevant discharge or procedure information. Ask reception whether you need a referral and check any medical-aid requirements directly with your scheme.
Confirm the current consultation fee and whether scans, laboratory work or procedures could be billed separately. Ask about arrival arrangements and what to do if you need to change the appointment.
Current consulting rooms
- Isipingo Hospital, 162 Phila Ndwandwe Road, Suite 11.
- St Augustine’s Hospital, Chelmsford Medical Centre, Suite 1.
Call 060 971 1251 for bookings and calls, or use the contact page for current details and directions. These are the two active consulting locations; references to other suburbs describe where patients may travel from, not additional branches.
When to seek urgent help
Do not wait for a routine booking or a website response if you have severe pain, heavy bleeding, fainting or feel seriously unwell. Seek immediate medical assessment. For non-urgent concerns, prepare your questions and discuss them in the consultation so that the next step is clear.
