FAQs
Who qualifies as a gastroenterologist and what do they treat?
Gastroenterologists are medical professionals specialised in the digestive system. After earning their membership in the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, they undergo specialised training in gastrointestinal endoscopy. They treat a range of conditions including Hepatitis, Liver disease, and symptoms like Chronic Diarrhoea and Constipation.
What do I need to take to my scheduled endoscopy visit?
When attending your scheduled endoscopy visit, don’t forget to carry a referral from your doctor, insurance information, any important medical reports such as x-rays and tests, a list of your current medications, and a record of any drug allergies with the associated symptoms.
Can I be assured that my medical records are private and secure?
Absolutely, we handle your medical records with utmost care to protect your privacy. Our team is legally bound by severe confidentiality rules that prevent the disclosure of your medical information without your consent.
Do I need a referral to make an appointment?
Most medical specialists will accept only referred patients. This is partly to try to ensure that the specialist you are seeing is appropriate for you and your condition, and also because Medicare pays rebates for specialist services only if you have been referred.
Please follow this procedure:
Step 1. Call us on 9781 5959 to make an appointment
Step 2. Print Referral Form & take it to your Doctor
Step 3. Read the Appointments Page
Direct Endoscopy encourages General Practitioners to keep a copy of this form for patient referral purposes. Members of the public are also welcome to keep and print this form for your convenience if seeking a qualified doctor’s referral to our specialist gastroenterologists.
Can my family doctor help me get specialist care?
Yes, your family doctor is crucial in guiding you to specialist medical care. They discuss your health condition with you and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist. They also provide the specialist with important health information, which helps in delivering effective treatment.
Is there a Cancellation Fee?
We require two full business days notice to be eligible for a refund of your procedure. There will be a cancellation fee for appointments cancelled or not attended with less than two full business days notice.
