General Information

Appointments

All patients that attend our practice will require a consultation with a doctor prior to any treatment being scheduled. All consultations related to oral and maxillofacial surgery will require a referral and any relevant x-rays. Consultations of cosmetic nature do not necessarily require a referral, however, should you want to claim Medicare benefits from the appointment, you will need a referral.
When booking your appointment, it is essential our staff understand the nature of your appointment as times are allocated according to your specific treatment, you will be asked a variety of questions to verify this. 

Please notify us if you are unable to attend an appointment.

When booking your appointment please notify the staff as to the nature of your appointment as times are allocated according to your specific problem.

The doctors consulting endeavour to devote sufficient time to each patient but some patients may take longer than the allotted time, therefore causing others to wait. For as long as each patient is treated on an individual basis this will occur. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
