We want you to feel prepared and confident at every step. Here is what you can expect when you visit our practice.

Before Your First Visit

A referral from your GP is required to claim Medicare benefits. Please remember to bring your Medicare card, the referral letter, and a list of any current medications. We recommend arriving 15 minutes early to complete your paperwork without feeling rushed.

During Your Consultation

Your first appointment will last approximately 45-60 minutes. During your consultation, we will conduct a:

Detailed review of your medical history and symptoms.
Thorough examination, which may include specialised ENT assessment procedures.
Clear explanation of your condition and our findings in easy-to-understand terms.
Discussion of treatment options to help you make an informed decision.
Collaborative plan with clear next steps for your care.

After Your Visit

Following your consultation, we will send a written summary of our recommendations to your referring GP/dentist/orthodontist/other specialists. If a procedure is required, our team will provide booking information and pre-operative guidance. You will have direct access to our team for any follow-up questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, a referral from your GP is required to access Medicare rebates. This also ensures Dr Nguyen has your relevant medical history to provide the most effective consultation.

For routine appointments, the wait is typically 2-4 weeks. We can often see urgent cases within one week, with emergency consultations available on the same day when clinically appropriate.

No. Dr Nguyen always explores medical management first. In our experience, approximately 90% of conditions can be managed non-surgically. Surgery is recommended only when conservative treatments are not effective or when it offers the best long-term outcome. There are some conditions that involve surgery up front and Dr Nguyen will discuss this with you.
