When you call to make an appointment, you will be emailed a questionnaire regarding your pain / problem / injury. It is important to complete this before attending.
We are mindful that your time is valuable and would like to avoid keeping you waiting. However, occasionally a patient may present that requires a little extra time, which may cause unforeseeable scheduling delays beyond our control. Where possible, we will advise you if we are running late. We apologise in advance if you are kept waiting.
During your first appointment, a thorough medical and diagnostic work-up may be required. If you have completed any tests (blood test results, MRI within 6-months, X-Ray, CT scan, etc), please bring these to your appointment so that Dr Keeley can review them during your appointment. We will usually try to access any imaging you may have had digitally, but we ask that you bring any hard copies of scans also, because there are times when we are unable to access the images (i.e: if a radiology centre server is down). When you call to make your appointment, Dr Keeley’s staff will ask you about any imaging you have already had done, and will advise you if you need any new scans prior to seeing him.
You are welcome to bring a support person to your appointment if you wish to do so.
These are important appointments to monitor your recovery and avoid complications.
