Before Your Appointment
Referrals from your GP or specialist are recommended so that care can be safe, informed, and clinically appropriate.
Please bring prior test results if available, your medications list, discharge letters if you were recently admitted to hospital, any Medicare or concession cards.
Clinical guidance or treatment decisions are not provided by email or phone. Medical questions are best addressed in consultation.
Appointments are structured to support clarity and shared decision-making.
You can expect:
Clinical history and examination
Review of relevant investigations
Discussion of diagnostic impressions
Guidance on whether further testing or treatment is appropriate
Not all symptoms or findings require intervention. Recommendations are made with consideration of your goals, the medical evidence, and the expected benefit.
You will receive a clear explanation of next steps.
A letter summarising the appointment and recommendations will be sent to your GP or referring doctor.
Follow-up is arranged based on clinical need rather than routine scheduling. Patient preferences will be taken into account.
Coronary angiography or stent placement is recommended when it is expected to meaningfully improve symptoms or outcomes.
Not every coronary narrowing requires a stent; decisions are made case by case with discussion of alternatives.
