When you come for your appointment Remember to get the following:

  • Medicare card.
  • Referral letter from your GP, family physician or other doctor.
  • 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
Dr. 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.
