IT’S OKAY TO HAVE QUESTIONS
Let’s make the
first step easier.
Does requesting a chat commit me to surgery?
No. It is an enquiry so our practice team can explain the process and help arrange an appointment. Decisions about treatment follow individual assessment and informed discussion.
Do I need a referral before I get in touch?
You can ask our team about the process before arranging a referral. They’ll explain what is needed for a clinical appointment and any Medicare requirements.
What will my treatment cost?
The initial consultation is free (bulk billed). Surgical treatment costs are separate and depend on the procedure, hospital, cover and individual circumstances. The team can explain the costs and provide a written quote before you decide.
Where can I see Dr Mastakov?
