Overview
What you should know
Assessment of acute respiratory symptoms, with a test where it helps.
With acute respiratory symptoms the more important question is not which pathogen is behind it, but how you are and whether there are warning signs. A test can add to the assessment. Which tests are available at your location, you will learn when booking or on arrival.
One address for your concern
Book an appointment or come by during opening hours. And if you are unsure whether we are the right address: come anyway; we will work it out with you.

What happens
What happens at aprioris
Our aim: to resolve your concern directly on site. Assessment, treatment and, where needed, a prescription or certificate. If specialist care is needed, we refer you on.
We listen to your concern, examine you carefully and put the findings in context. Then we discuss what happens next with you. Where a test improves the assessment, we discuss it with you. We explain what the result means, and what it does not mean.
Every case is reviewed and signed off by a physician, either during your visit or shortly after. Anything that needs specialist care, we refer on, prioritised by urgency and with a written report. aprioris does not dispense medication itself.
