Initial consultation

An initial consultation allows us to undertake an in-depth medical assessment. Your condition will be fully reviewed, a diagnosis will be made and all treatment options will be explained. Adequate time is allowed for you to ask as many questions as you need.

If surgery is required we will outline the procedure and recovery timelines and provide a written estimate of costs including surgical fees, hospital booking fees (if required) and anaesthetists fees. 

No referral is required to book an initial consultation but if you have one you should bring it with you to the appointment together with any X-rays or other medical imaging related to your condition.

Duration: 45 minutes     Cost: $195.00

Ingrown toenail surgery and wart curettage surgery

These minor procedures can be carried out in the rooms on the day of the initial consultation under local anaesthetic. If this is what you have been referred for, or you would like this done, you can book directly using the online booking form, however we do recommend that you also phone or email the practice so we can explain what will happen on the day and what is required post-operatively.

Duration: 45 minutes     Cost: $500.00

Bunion surgery

Bunion surgery and other more involved procedures are carried out in a day hospital facility, typically under general anaesthetic, and can only be booked after an initial consultation has been carried out. At the initial consultation we will provide you with all the information you need to ensure you are making the correct decision and can plan for the recuperation process.

Duration: 45 minutes     Cost: $500.00

Post operative reviews, dressing changes and follow up appointments

These are typically arranged at the time of your initial consultation or surgery, however you can also book a dressing change or follow up appointment using the online booking form or by calling the practice.

Duration: 20-30 minutes     Cost: $90.00
