Consultations and Fees 

Consultation fees are in line with AMA recommendations and you will be advised of these prior to your appointment. Payment for consultation fees may be made by debit or credit card via EFTPOS.

All patients require a referral from their GP or specialist.

Please ensure that you bring copies of all your recent scans. Bringing correspondence from other specialists in relation to your condition and a list of medications will also aid your consultation.

If your condition requires an operation, the options available to you will be discussed at the time of the consultation. These include having the operation performed at either John Hunter Hospital, Newcastle Private Hospital or Lingard Hospital. If you have private health insurance, your policy may cover your operation being performed at a private hospital. This often depends on your level of coverage and you will need to check with your health fund if the quoted procedure is covered. We will provide you with the proposed item numbers to assist with this process.
