FAQs 

What do gastroenterologists specialise in?

Gastroenterologists are highly trained specialists who manage diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver. They are recognized by the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and are skilled in endoscopy. Conditions managed by these specialists include Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux, and Liver diseases, along with therapy for Hepatitis.

What are the required items for a scheduled appointment at the endoscopy office?

Make sure to bring these items to your scheduled endoscopy office appointment: 

• A doctor’s referral
• Insurance information
• Relevant x-ray reports or other test results
• A list of all your medications
• Information about any drug allergies you have including the symptoms experienced

Are my medical records kept private and confidential?

Your medical file is handled with the utmost respect for your privacy. Our staff are bound by strict confidentiality requirements as a condition of employment regarding your medical records.

Ordinarily we will not release the contents of your medical file 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.

How important is my family doctor in the process of obtaining specialist care?

Your family doctor plays a pivotal role in your journey toward specialised medical care. They assess your health needs, decide if specialist intervention is required, and help choose the most appropriate specialist for you. They facilitate better care by communicating vital health information to the specialist and coordinate your overall treatment.

What happens if I cancel my appointment on short notice?

If you cancel your appointment without giving two full business days’ notice, you will be charged a cancellation fee. This policy ensures that we can manage our schedule effectively and offer slots to other patients.
