Consultations and Diagnostic tests
Consultations with our senior Cardiologists occur during business hours Monday to Friday. We also offer a Saturday morning service for new clients confirming our commitment to providing prompt and accessible cardiac care.
Please contact us for actual session times, as doctors’ hours vary from day to day.
All consultations are by appointment only.
Appointments
Patients are usually seen in order of appointment time except where an urgent medical opinion is required (very sick or clinically unstable patient).
Some of our cardiologists are proceduralists and may be involved in life saving interventions. Our staff will endeavour to inform you of any potential delays to your appointment. Please ensure we have your latest contact details for efficient communication.
Fees
A consultation with our senior Cardiologists will have a gap payment (out of pocket expense) and this will be fully disclosed prior to your appointment. Payments are made on the day of service so we can organise your immediate Medicare claim.
Health Insurance
If you do have private insurance you may want to check if you are specifically covered for cardiac procedures.
What to bring to your appointment
Please ensure you have the following for all appointments at the Cardiologists:
Medicare card
Private Insurance card (if you have insurance) – this will enable us to facilitate your procedures in the private system
Valid referral letter from your Doctor (For our usual patients, our staff will inform you if you need a new referral prior to your appointment)
Current medications or a medication list with dosages
Any information you feel is relevant such as recent hospital discharge papers
