The Process

We understand that undergoing surgery can be a significant and sometime overwhelming experience. Our compassionate and expert team is here to guide you through every step, ensuring you feel informed, comfortable, and cared for throughout your journey with us

GP Referral

You should initially present to your GP if you have concerns that you might have a surgical condition or unexplained symptoms. After assessment, your GP may wish to refer you to us. They may send us a referral directly via [email protected] or via Healthlink. On occasion, the GP may give you a paper referral and advise you to book an appointment with us. You can do this by calling 0492953440 or by using the ‘Book Appointment’ link on this website

Initial Consultation

Your journey with us begins with an in-depth consultation. During this session, our surgeon will review your medical history, discuss your current health concerns, and explore treatment options. We encourage you to ask questions and share any concerns you may have. Our goal is to help you understand your condition and treatment choices fully.

Diagnostic Evaluation

If further tests or imaging are required, we will arrange these promptly and efficiently. This may include blood tests, scans, or other diagnostic procedures. We collaborate closely with leading diagnostic centers to ensure you receive timely and accurate results, minimizing delays in your care.

Tailored Treatment Plan

Once we have gathered all necessary information, we will create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs. Our team will explain each step of the plan, including the proposed surgery or alternative therapies. We’ll ensure you fully understand the procedure and recovery process before proceeding.

At this stage, you will be provided with a ‘Fee Estimate’ to provide a clear idea of the costs of the procedure in total. Once received, it is advised that you discuss this further with your Health Insurance provider, to get understanding of all costs involved and potential ‘out of pocket’ expenses that may be payable.

Pre-Surgery Preparation

We take time to prepare you for surgery both physically and mentally. Our staff will provide clear pre-operative instructions, discuss any necessary preparations, and ensure you feel ready for your procedure. We are here to answer any last-minute questions and offer reassurance before the day of your surgery.

On occasion, you may be referred to a perioperative physician for a consultation, with a view to optimising any medical conditions you may have. This will be done in advance of surgery.

Confirmation

Our staff will contact you the day before surgery to confirm that all relevant preparation has been undertaken.

Day of Surgery

Your informed consent for the procedure is usually taken just prior to commencement. However, the risks and benefits will have been outlined to you in detail at the initial consultation.

Post Surgery Recovery

Following your surgery, you will be monitored closely by our experienced team in a comfortable recovery space. We will manage your pain and ensure you are recovering well before discharging you. Your surgeon will explain the outcome of your procedure and outline your personalised recovery plan.

Dr Ariyaratnam will continue to follow you up until discharge from hospital is complete. You will also be advised of post operative instructions, aftercare and planned post operative consultation. Appointment time, date and location will be confirmed with you by our staff.

Follow Up

Your post-operative care is just as important to us as your surgery. We will arrange follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery, address any concerns, and ensure you are healing as expected. We remain available to you for any questions or support needed during your recovery journey.
