What should I expect from my first visit?

Should you require a consultation, rather than direct access procedure, the more information you can provide our doctors the better. In particular, please bring a current list of your medications and any relevant previous investigation results.

The gastroenterologist will review your symptoms, medical history, and may examine you. They will then discuss potential diagnoses, the need for investigations including endoscopic procedures and potential treatments.

Payment is expected at the time of your consultation and we can organise the Medicare rebate at this time for you. Please bring your Medicare or DVA card, private health insurance details.

What is a direct access endoscopic procedure and is this appropriate for me?

Direct access endoscopy means being booked directly for a procedure without prior consultation in our rooms, allowing a shorter wait time.

Yes, direct access procedures are available at our local private hospitals for appropriate patients. After receiving a referral, our specialist gastroenterology and endoscopy nurse will conduct a phone interview to ensure direct access is appropriate and schedule your procedure. We triage referrals received from GPs and if direct access seems appropriate, we will contact you.

How do I book a consultation?

Please contact our reception by phone on (02) 4324 5011 to make an appointment.

Note: For all new consultations, a referral from either a GP or specialist is required. Please either email your referral or ask your GP to do it for you prior to your appointment. Our email address is reception@hillsstgastro.com.au.
