Question 1

What should I bring to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive 10 minutes early if it’s your first visit so we can assist with any paperwork.
 Bring the following:
Proof of Medical Aid
Identification (ID or driver’s licence)
Referral letters or previous medical records, if applicable

Question 2

I'm feeling nervous. It's my first check-up. What can I expect?

Accepted Answer

Feeling a little anxious before your first appointment is completely normal, especially when it comes to intimate healthcare. Dr Rockson is known for her warm, approachable and reassuring manner, and she creates a safe, judgment-free space where you're treated with kindness and respect.

She’ll guide you through every step of the consultation, explain procedures clearly, and answer any questions you may have. You’re welcome to bring a support person if it helps you feel more comfortable. You’re in caring, capable hands and your comfort and confidence are always a priority.

Question 3

Should I cancel my appointment if I'm on my period?

Accepted Answer

There’s no need to cancel your appointment if you’re on your period. You're welcome to visit at any stage of your cycle. Dr Rockson understands that timing isn’t always predictable and it won’t interfere with most consultations or assessments.

Our practice is fully equipped with sanitary products, wipes, and other essentials to ensure your comfort throughout your visit. Your health comes first, and there’s no need to feel embarrassed or delay care.

Question 4

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be easily removed if needed. If you're having a non-vaginal ultrasound, there’s no need to undress fully.

Consultations usually last 20 to 40 minutes, and may include:
A urine analysis

Any other relevant assessments

Can my partner attend?
