Common questions

Do I need a referral to book a consultation?

No referral is needed. If you have reports or scans from other doctors, please bring them.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Bring previous scans and reports, a list of your current medicines, and any questions you have.

Are procedures done under general anaesthesia?

Most pain procedures are done under local anaesthetic, sometimes with light sedation. The doctor will explain what applies to you.

Will I need surgery?

Many pain conditions are managed without surgery. If a surgical opinion would help, the doctor will tell you.
