Frequently asked questions

What do I bring to my first appointment?

For your first appointment, please bring along the following:

  • A medical referral so you can claim Medicare fees due to you.
  • Your Medicare card so we can bill Medicare directly.
  • Any medical history and scans or x-rays so we can make the most of your time with A/Professor Danta.

If you would like to discuss this beforehand, or would like any further details, please contact us

 

Do I need a referral from my GP before making an appointment?

A referral is essential to be able to claim the Medicare rebate for your consultation. It also improves the communication with your primary doctor.

When are the consultations?

Consultations are usually on Wednesdays, although there is occasional flexibility. Please contact our Practice Manager for current details.

What is the best way to get to your rooms?

How does Fibroscan work?

Fibroscan uses an ultrasound wave to determine how much liver scarring or fibrosis without the need for a biopsy. It can also measure the fat content of the liver. The procedure takes 10 minutes and gives an immediate result. This can be performed at the time of the consultation.

What if I have an urgent medical problem?

For urgent medical advice, you should contact your GP or the local Emergency Department.
