Dr Inglis will discuss your symptoms, medical history and how your condition is affecting walking, work, sleep, exercise and everyday activities. He will review your available imaging and perform a clinical assessment. Further investigations, such as additional X-rays or scans, may be arranged if required. Once the cause of your symptoms has been assessed, Dr Inglis will explain the treatment options available to you. Depending on your condition, these may include non-surgical treatment, continued monitoring or surgery. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss what you would like to achieve from treatment.
If surgery is considered appropriate, Dr Inglis will explain the proposed procedure, expected benefits and limitations, possible risks and complications, alternative treatments and expected recovery. You will also receive information about preparing for surgery, your hospital admission and rehabilitation. There is time to ask questions and consider your options before deciding whether to proceed.
Dr Inglis participates in selected no-gap arrangements for eligible privately insured patients. Eligibility depends on your health fund, level of cover, procedure and hospital arrangements. You should confirm your insurance coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs before treatment. The practice team can provide information about estimated surgical fees and assist with questions regarding hospital admission and billing.
