Our Services
How do we structure our consultations?
Pre-operative care
The initial one-hour consultation is designed for individuals at the beginning of their surgical journey.
This session focuses on understanding your concerns, expectations, and goals, while providing educational and preparatory support ahead of a surgical consultation. Guidance is offered on how to research procedures, what to expect from a surgical consultation, and which topics you may wish to discuss with your surgeon.
Time is allocated to ensure the practitioner gains a clear understanding of your circumstances, while also explaining the consultation process, typical considerations discussed with surgeons, and general information about surgical risks and recovery timelines. You will also have the opportunity to learn about the practitioner’s professional background, experience, and approach to patient support.
This consultation does not replace a surgical consultation.
Post-operative care
The 30-minute post-operative consultation is intended for individuals who are in the recovery phase and would benefit from additional reassurance, guidance, or emotional support.
This service supports patients who:
-
have already consulted with their surgeon but would like further clarification or reassurance about their surgical journey; or
-
have undergone surgery and require attention along their healing process as well as support on understanding what is normal, why there is still swelling or discomfort etc. It also caters to patients who are feeling emotionally low and need someone to talk to regarding their surgical journey.
The consultation also provides a supportive space for individuals who may be feeling emotionally low or uncertain following surgery and wish to discuss their experience with a knowledgeable healthcare professional.
Complications, or urgent symptoms should always be directed to your surgeon.
Consultation Summary
At the end of your consultation, you may request a written summary of the discussion, which will be emailed to you.
