Appointments

Sydney Bone & Joint Clinic is a private orthopaedic practice providing highest quality
and effective care for all orthopaedic and musculoskeletal problems.

We are open Monday to Friday (except Holidays) between 0900 to 1700 Hours. As a
Specialist clinic, patients need referral from their General Practitioner.

All appointments are made by calling 1300 1 JOINTs (56468)

Please arrive 5-10 minutes early for your appointment to fill in a health questionnaire and
supply your personal details. Click here to download our health questionnaire to print and
bring with you for your appointment.

When you come for your appointment remember to bring the following:

Referral letter from your GP, family physician or other doctor.
Your insurance information.
Copies of operation records, medical records, x-rays, MRIs, CT scans and so on from
prior doctor visits.
If you have seen a physiotherapist, please bring a progress letter from the therapist.
If you have had surgery elsewhere, please bring a copy of your operation report.

 You may also arrange to have the records sent to us prior to your appointment.

Very often during the course of your evaluation or treatment for an orthopaedic condition
your doctor will require x-rays to determine the cause of a problem or to evaluate your
progress. If not all the relevant information is available at the time of your appointment
this may cause a delay in your treatment. In addition it may be necessary to repeat a study
to complete your evaluation.

Please dress so that the body part you are having trouble with can be easily examined
and/or x-rayed. For example, please wear shorts if you are attending for a knee problem
or wear a singlet if you are having shoulder problems.

To cancel an appointment:

Telephone the office during business hours. Please cancel at least 1 day ahead so that
your appointment time can be allocated to another patient who is seeking treatment.

Your time is valuable and we make every effort to run on time. As you can imagine,
emergencies occur that cause scheduling delays beyond our control. We apologise in
advance if we keep you waiting.
