INITIAL CONSULTATION APPOINTMENT
On the day of your first consultation please bring the following with you:
REFERRAL
Medicare regulations require that patients have a valid referral from a primary medical practitioner (GP)
It is also highly desirable to have a local medical practitioner involved with your care.
NEW PATIENT FORM
Once your appointment is confirmed, our clinic will send you a copy of the New Patient Form via mail or email.
ALL RELEVANT IMAGING & INVESTIGATIONS
Medical Imaging: e.g. X-rays, CT Scans, MRI, Bone Scans reports and films or discs.
If you have received a radiology request please have it performed PRIOR to your appointment.
PAYMENT on the day of consultation is required, we accept cash, cheque or visa/mastercard
Please note it is not our practice to bulk bill.
PATIENT CARE
Our Clinic’s philosophy is to strive for optimal patient care by providing a warm, friendly and informative environment in our rooms and follow this with a team based approach in the operating theatre, as well as ensuring we communicate clearly with referring doctors and physical therapists that are also involved in the patient’s care.
As many patients present with multiple joint arthritis or dual pathologies, often resulting in a combination of problem areas such as hip, knee and shoulder pain, our understanding and expertise across multiple surgery areas assists us to assess and treat our patients holistically.
