First Consultation

At your first consultation Mr Slattery’s staff will ask you to complete a new patient questionnaire, this will allow the practise to register you and will save you time when you arrive. Or you can download the Patient Registration Form and email it to us ahead of time (preferred).  We also ask that you bring with you your medicare and private health insurance details, as well as copies of any medical imaging (X – rays, CT scans, MRI scans etc) that you have had done.  We also kindly request that you have an up to date referral from your GP or healthcare provider.

If you have a hip or knee problem, Mr Slattery’s staff may ask you to complete some questionnaires to get a better understanding of you problem and assist with treatment.

It is also advisable to wear appropriate clothing, to allow exposure of the body part in question.  For example, if you have a knee problem shorts or very loose pants that can be easily pulled up to expose the knee are better than tight jeans.
