FAQs
What is the role of a gastroenterologist?
The role of a gastroenterologist centres around the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. These specialists are required to be members of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and are trained in both performing endoscopies and managing diseases such as Liver disease and Hepatitis, among others.
What should I bring to my appointment at the endoscopy clinic?
For your appointment at the endoscopy clinic, bring a referral from your GP, your insurance details, all pertinent x-ray reports and test results, a complete list of medications, and an account of your drug allergies and the symptoms they trigger.
Will my medical information remain confidential at your facility?
At our facility, the confidentiality of your medical information is a primary concern. Our employees are required to follow stringent confidentiality policies, ensuring that your medical records are kept private unless you provide consent to share them.
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 can my family doctor help me to obtain specialist medical care?
Before seeing any medical specialist, it is always preferable to talk to your own family doctor, who can discuss your condition with you and advise on whether any specialist care is appropriate. If it is, he or she can help you to choose the specialist best suited to your needs. Your family doctor can help the specialist to care for you better by providing relevant information about your health. Communicating with the specialist will also enable your family doctor to care for you better during and after your specialist treatment.
How much notice is required to avoid a cancellation fee?
To avoid a cancellation fee, you need to cancel your appointment at least two full business days before the scheduled time. Cancellations made with less notice will result in a fee.
