To prepare for your consultation, please do the following:
Please bring along your:
During your first consultation, the doctor will inquire about your current symptoms and gather a comprehensive health history involving both yourself and your family. Subsequently, the doctor will assess your overall health and propose any necessary tests or procedures tailored to your specific needs.
This assessment is meant to assist Dr. Peerbaccus in determining the most suitable treatment plan for your specific needs. Through this process, Dr. Peerbaccus aims to equip you with the necessary knowledge to make well-informed decisions regarding your future healthcare.
For new patients, 30 minutes is allocated for the consultation. This generally allows sufficient time to discuss the condition, perform an examination, and review any relevant investigations taking into consideration your circumstances and goals. In some instances, complex or multiple conditions require a longer consultation time of 45 minutes.
In most cases a second appointment or follow up appointment of 20 minutes is required to discuss outcomes of tests, additional aspects of your care or outcomes of procedures in more detail.
Bringing along a family member or friend can be very useful to help recall the information discussed. If anything remains unclear after the consultation or you have further questions, feel free to contact us and make an additional appointment to discuss your condition further.
Together, we’ll collaborate closely with you to craft a thorough care pathway. As part of this journey, we’ll coordinate any necessary investigations, such as blood tests, procedures, or imaging studies. Your procedure date can be scheduled during your consultation, and it will take place at a private hospital of your choosing for your convenience.
Once all necessary tests and procedures are completed, Dr. Peerbaccus will arrange a clinic appointment to discuss the results with you at a time convenient for you. We’ll collaborate closely with you to customise the best care plan for your diagnosis, offering personalised support based on your unique needs.
