Making an Appointment
To make an appointment, please contact Dr Ch’ng’s secretary on 02 8514 1460.
When you call, please be prepared to answer some questions regarding the type of service you are looking to access. These questions help us to understand how urgent the appointment is, so that we can schedule your appointment accordingly.
If relevant, we may ask you to fax or email any biopsy or imaging results you have. This will allow Dr Ch’ng to plan for your appointment.
Please let us know if you are travelling a long distance, or from a regional or remote location, to see Dr Ch’ng. Where possible, we will endeavour to organise consultations, investigations, and treatment so that they can be performed on a single visit (e.g. all within a few days).
Please let us know if you are seeking a second opinion from Dr Ch’ng. We appreciate that patients need a second opinion sometimes and this will help us better understand your needs.
Your First Appointment
Before your first appointment, you will need to obtain a referral from your general practitioner or specialist. We prefer this to be faxed or emailed through before the day of your consultation.
You would also have been provided with an electronic link to a secure Registration Form with questions on your general health, medications, allergies etc. Please complete this form before your consultation.
Please bring the following to your first appointment:
- Your Medicare card
- Any health fund details
- Any pension or health care card details
- Any relevant Xrays or scans
- Any reports of biopsies or test results related to your condition
- A list of your current medications
- If you have had recent surgery or treatment, it is helpful to bring the contact details of your previous surgeon or specialist
- If you have any significant medical conditions and see other specialists or doctors for these, bring as much information as you can, as it may be relevant in planning surgery
- If you cannot speak English well and need help understanding or explaining yourself, bring along a relative or friend who can translate for you
- A list of any questions you may have
Dr Ch’ng allocates longer appointment times for new patients, patients seeking a second opinion and consultations for aesthetic surgery.
Dr Ch’ng strives to adhere to appointment times. However, Dr Ch'ng has numerous complex cases and due to this, delays may occur. Dr Ch'ng values medical consultations and apologises for any inconvenience caused.
