I would be delighted to provide an orthopaedic opinion for you or your patient. I do ask that a formal referral is made in keeping with usual medical practice from the referring medical professional such as the family doctor, another medical specialist, physiotherapist or osteopath.

The referral should include:

• The reason for referral
• The relevant history of concern
• Any investigations undertaken
• Any treatments provided to date
• Date of injury and ACC number (if the concern is accident-related)
