The surgeons generally run on time so
please arrive 5-10 minutes early for your appointment to fill in a
health questionnaire and supply your personal details. If you are late
it may not be possible for you to be seen that day in order to avoid
inconveniencing other patients.
When you come for your appointment Remember to
get the following:
Medicare or the veteran affairs card.
Referral letter from your GP, family physician or other doctor.
Have your insurance information.
Copies of operation records, medical records, x-rays, MRIs, CT scans
and so on from prior doctor visits.
If you have seen a physiotherapist, please bring a progress letter
from the therapist.
If you have had surgery elsewhere, please bring a copy of your
operation report.
You may also arrange to
have the records sent to us prior to your appointment.
Very often during the
course of your evaluation or treatment for an orthopaedic condition
your doctor will require x-rays to determine the cause of a problem or
to evaluate your progress. If not all the relevant information is
available at the time of your appointment this may cause a delay in
your treatment. In addition it may be necessary to repeat a study to
complete your evaluation.
Please dress so that the
body part you are having trouble with can be easily examined and/or
X-rayed. For example, please wear shorts if you are attending for a
knee problem or wear a singlet if you are having shoulder problems.
To cancel an appointment:
Telephone the office during business hours. Please
cancel at least 1 day ahead so that your appointment time can be
allocated to another patient who is seeking treatment.
Your time is valuable and we make every
effort to run on time. As you can imagine, emergencies occur that
cause scheduling delays beyond our control. We apologize in advance if
we keep you waiting.
