Patient Information

FAQs

Your GP will need to send a referral letter to the room in order for us to make an appointment for you. Alternatively you can contact Dr Gopinath’s room for appointment and bring a GP referral letter on the day of appointment.

It will be helpful for you to bring:

• Your Medicare card, health fund information or concession card

• Any relevant imaging results (ultrasound scan, X-Ray, CT scan or MRI) blood test and urine test report

• A list of current medications that you are taking

• A list of known drug allergies and the symptoms you may have from taking these medications

• Completed bladder diary (Download form)

• Completed pelvic floor questionnaire (Download form)

Our practice respects privacy and confidentiality of patient’s health information. The contents of your health records will not be released without your consent. When necessary, the records will be shared with other medical providers to ensure continuity of care.

Your private health fund only covers the hospital costs. It does not cover outpatient costs, but you are entitled some rebates from Medicare that can be claimed on the same day. If you are with Veteran Affairs, they will cover the costs of consultation. However if you require a pessary, Veteran Affairs will not cover the cost.

We accept cash payment, EFTPOS, Visa or Mastercard. 

Pelvic Floor Questionnaire

This questionnaire contains questions about your pelvic floor function. Completing this questionnaire will help us in understanding your concerns so that we can help you. You will also be asked to complete this questionnaire after treatment so that we can assess the change due to treatment.
