ABOUT US

 


GrimstadGynekologen is a gynecological practice based in the premises of Odden Helse on the 3rd floor of Oddensenteret in Grimstad. Odden Helse is a new, modern health center that offer a wide range of health services.


You DO NOT NEED A REFERRAL to make an appointment with the gynecologist. We operate without reimbursement from the government, which means that the individual pays for the full consultation. The advantage is that you don't have to first wait for an appointment with a GP to get a referral and then be on a waiting list for weeks with a gynecologist who has a support agreement from the government. Grimstad has no gynecologists with such support.

You can easily book an appointment using the "Book Appointment" button below. This will take you to Helseblikk's bookingsystem (Norwegian language). If you prefer to do the booking in English, please contact us through the "Contact Form" and we will reply within 1-2 days.



We strive to have available consultations within a few days and we offer some consultations in the afternoon/evening for those who find such option easier. An extra afternoon fee of 300 NOK per 30 minutes apply for consultations after 3 PM. We also offer appointments in weekends. An extra fee of 300-500 NOK will apply for weekend consultations.


The health center is easily accessible. There is a bus stop (named "Odden") and car park with free parking (2 hours) is right outside Oddensenteret. There are available elevators to the 3rd floor
