It’s easy to refer a patient to the Neuroaxis practice. Use our online patient referral form or send referrals to us either by phone, Fax or e-mail ([email protected]). Our practice is also Argus and Referral Net enabled.

We request that as part of the referral you may please provide us with as much detail of the relevant clinical condition. This includes a brief summary of the problem and reports of all relevant tests to date.

We kindly request that you guide the patient to ensure that they arrive to the Neuroaxis appointment with all relevant paperwork. This includes a copy of the scans, x-rays, CTs or MRIs either as printed films or CDs.

At Neuroaxis, we do have access to all the common radiology web portals. At times, accessing scan centre’s website to see these films can fail in which case we may not be able to get the best outcome of the appointment. To avoid such problems, we recommend that the patients bring along hardcopies or CDs of all relevant tests.

The surgeons in our practice see patients for clinical interventions. We do not see patients for medico-legal purposes or to perform disability assessments.

Urgent Referral

In the instance that your patient requires an urgent appointment, we request that you please contact our office by phone. This is to discuss the patient’s clinical condition and any concerns you may have directly with our doctors. In our experience, direct discussions with doctors help us organise the most suitable appointment.

Return Correspondence

We endeavour to ensure that all referring doctors receive correspondence summarising the details of their patient’s visit. We will send you a letter containing our medical recommendation and plan of treatment. As we send the letters post there might be a delay before these letters reach you.

In the case that you need the letters urgently, please contact us and we will fax the letters to you. We do not send the written correspondence by fax as routine. This is due to the high incidence of misplaced letters and concerns with regards to patient privacy.
