For urgent appointments please get your GP or referrer to contact Associate Professor Fuller or our rooms directly to discuss with us.

What will happen at your appointment?

On arrival: You will be required to complete a Patient Registration Form which is available for download prior to your consultation. Our receptionist will collect your completed patient information and consent forms and register you as a new patient. You will also be required to provide your images so that Associate Professor Fuller can view these before your consultation.

On Departure: Our receptionist will arrange any subsequent appointments and issue you with your account for your consultation. At the time of payment reception can electronically lodge the account with Medicare if you request.  If you require a review appointment and a scan on the same day, our staff will be more than happy to help arrange this for you.

We take into consideration that your time is valuable and we make every effort to run on time. However occasionally emergencies or patients require a little more time and this can cause scheduling delays beyond our control. We apologise if we keep you waiting.

Should you need to cancel an appointment please telephone the office during business hours at least 24 hours prior to your appointment time so that your appointment time can be allocated to another patient who is seeking treatment.
