Appointments with OSV surgeons are sought after. We will endeavour to provide a suitable appointment as soon as possible. Cancellation lists are also available for patients seeking an earlier appointment than is available at the time you ring.
Urgent appointments are usually available for injuries requiring immediate medical attention. They are generally requested by your referring doctor and prioritized.
When booking for surgery there are a number of factors to be considered, including urgency, surgical list availability, and patient availability. We will endeavour to provide you with a suitable surgery time.
Your surgeon will advise you before your surgery is booked of your recovery time and post-surgery requirements. You may need to consider and prepare for variables such as time required off work and aftercare, which may include help from a friend or family member.
Patients requiring urgent surgery are prioritized, usually at the request of your referring doctor.
A referral letter is required to see an OSV surgeon to ensure that you receive your Medicare rebate entitlement, as well as Medicare and private health insurance rebates if you require surgery. Your General Practitioner (GP) or another medical specialist is able to provide you with such a referral. GP referrals are usually valid for 12 months from the date of attendance and specialist referrals are valid for 3 months.
