All Consultations with our Surgeons do involve a Consultation Fee.
So, why do experienced and reputable clinics such as ours charge for their doctor-consultations when others offer ‘Free Consultations’?

This is how they compensate for the loss of consultation fees they would have otherwise received. Moreover, Free Consultations are usually very brief and conducted by a Nurse or Sales Employee with only a brief ‘look in’ by the doctor.
In contrast, our consultations are detailed, informative and conducted entirely by the surgeon.

As with other professions, detailed and informative consultations such as ours naturally involve a fee because you are paying for the professional’s time, knowledge, experience and advice – and accordingly it would be unreasonable to expect that a quality consultation should be free.
PLEASE NOTE: Some consultation types do attract a Medicare Rebate. Ask our Receptionist if your consultation is eligible for a Medicare Rebate.
