What to Bring to Your First Appointment with Mr Patten
Please bring the following to your appointment (or send to us prior):
Doctor's referral letter from your GP or medical specialist involved in your care.

Any relevant radiology (x-ray, MRI, bone scan, etc) reports in your possession.
An up-to-date list of your current medications.
Any previous letters or documentation related to your condition.
Consultation Fees
Initial consultation: $280.00
Review consultation: $165.00
Both fees attract a Medicare rebate, which we can claim on your behalf electronically at the time of payment, provided you have a valid referral in place from your doctor. Payment is required on the day of your appointment. We accept payment via EFTPOS.
If you are an existing patient and have not consulted Mr Patten for two years or more, an initial consultation fee will apply for your next appointment.
