Appointments
For all appointments and enquiries, call
02 9650 4983.
We are open Monday to Friday (except Holidays) between 0900
to 1700 Hours.
As a Specialist clinic, patients need referral from their
General Practitioner, family physician or other doctor to be
eligible for a rebate from Medicare.
Dr. Solomon generally runs on time so please arrive 5-10
minutes early for your appointment
to fill in a health
questionnaire and supply your personal details. If you are
late it may not be possible for you to be seen that day in
order to avoid inconveniencing other patients.
When you come for your appointment
Remember to get the following:
Medicare or the veteran affairs card.
Referral letter from your GP, family physician or other
doctor.
Have your insurance information.
Copies of operation records, medical records, x-rays, MRIs, CT
scans and so on from prior
doctor visits.
If you have seen a physiotherapist, please bring a progress
letter from the therapist.
If you have had surgery elsewhere, please bring a copy of your
operation report.
You may also arrange to have the records sent to us prior
to your appointment.
Very often during the course of your evaluation or
treatment for an orthopaedic condition your doctor will
require x-rays to determine the cause of a problem or to
evaluate your progress.
If not all the relevant information is
available at the time of your appointment this may cause a
delay in your treatment. In addition it may be necessary to
repeat a study to complete your evaluation.
Please dress so that the body part you are having trouble
with can be easily examined and/or
X-rayed. For example,
please wear shorts if you are attending for a knee problem.
To cancel an appointment:
Telephone the office during business hours. Please cancel
at least 1 day ahead so that your appointment time can be
allocated to another patient who is seeking treatment.
Your time is valuable and we make every effort to run on
time. As you can imagine, emergencies occur that cause
scheduling delays beyond our control. We apologise in advance
if we keep
you waiting.
