Dr. Daniel BIGGS
MBBS, F.R.A.C.S.(Orth),
Dip. Sports Med.
Orthopaedic Surgeon
Specialising in Shoulder arthroscopy, Knee arthroscopy and Joint
replacement.
Below are my practice locations, so you can arrange an
appointment at a
location convenient to you.
When you come for your appointment Remember to get
the following:
Medicare or the
veteran affairs card. Referral letter from
your GP, family physician or other doctor. Have your insurance
information. Copies of operation
records, medical records, x-rays, MRIs, CT scans and
so on from prior doctor visits. If you have seen a
physiotherapist, please bring a progress letter from the
therapist. If you have had
surgery elsewhere, please bring a copy of your operation report.
Very often during the course of your evaluation or treatment for
an orthopaedic
condition your doctor will require x-rays to determine the cause of
a problem or to evaluate your progress. If not all the relevant
information is available at the time of your appointment this may
cause a delay in your treatment. In addition it may be necessary to
repeat a study to complete your evaluation.
Please dress so that the body part you are having trouble with
can be easily
examined and/or X-rayed. For example, please wear shorts if you are
attending for a knee problem or wear a singlet if you are having
shoulder problems.
To cancel an appointment:
Telephone the office during business hours. Please cancel at
least 1 day
ahead so that your appointment time can be allocated to another
patient
who is seeking treatment.
Your time is valuable and we make every effort to run on time. As
you can
imagine, emergencies occur that cause scheduling delays beyond our
control. We apologise in advance if we keep you waiting.
