We are open Monday to Friday (except Holidays) between 0900 to 1700 Hours. As a specialist clinic, patients need referral from their General Practitioner, family physician or other doctor to be eligible for a rebate from Medicare.

Please arrive 5-10 minutes early for your appointment to fill in a health questionnaire and supply your personal details.

When you come for your appointment please remember to obtain and bring the following:

• Medicare 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 had surgery elsewhere, please bring a copy of your operation report

Very often during the course of your evaluation or treatment for an orthopaedic condition Prof Patel 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.

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.

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 apologise in advance if we keep you waiting.
