You may not be able see a female doctor
We know that many women may wish to see a female doctor during pregnancy. However, this is not always possible.
Armadale Health Service (AHS) has a highly trained and skilled team who will provide you with respectful care and understanding regardless of their gender.
Our doctors are also required to keep your personal information confidential.
When you arrive the doctor you initially see may not be your ongoing doctor. You will be assigned to a doctor based on current resourcing. We are unable to accept any requests for a specific doctor.
