Choosing the Right Consultation
Home Visits
At Courtyard Health Clinic, we understand that attending appointments in person is not always possible. To support our patients in these situations, we provide a home visit service that covers most of East Lothian and extends into Edinburgh.
Home visits are typically available within roughly a one-hour travel radius from our base at Eskmills in Musselburgh. This allows us to deliver the highest standard of care while ensuring timely and practical access.
The fee for a home visit varies depending on travel time and individual needs; this amount may be adjusted. All costs will be clearly communicated before you confirm your booking.
