FAQs 

What is a Gastroenterologist?

Gastroenterologists are experts in digestive health, certified through extensive training and membership in the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. They conduct endoscopies and provide detailed consultations for digestive conditions such as Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux, Pancreatic Diseases, and Coeliac Disease.

What items are necessary for a scheduled endoscopy appointment?

For your endoscopy appointment, please ensure to bring these essentials: 

• A referral from your general practitioner
• Your insurance details
• Any relevant x-ray reports or test results
• A list of medications you’re currently on
• Details of any drug allergies you have along with the reactions they cause

Is the information in my medical records kept confidential?

Yes, your medical file is managed with strict confidentiality. All our staff members are committed to upholding privacy standards as part of their employment terms, and we do not release any information from your records without your approval.

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.

How does my general practitioner assist in referring me to a specialist?

Discussing your health concerns with your general practitioner is the first step toward receiving specialist care. They can assess whether a specialist’s care is necessary and help select the appropriate specialist for your condition. Furthermore, by sharing relevant health details with the specialist, your general practitioner ensures comprehensive care continuity before, during, and after specialist treatment.

What is the cancellation policy for appointments?

Our cancellation policy requires you to provide at least two full business days’ notice to qualify for a refund. There is a fee for cancellations or no-shows with less than the required notice.
