Our rooms contact the patient directly to schedule their appointment at their preferred location — Chatswood or Strathfield. Routine appointments are typically available within 1–2 weeks.
A detailed consultation letter is sent to the referring clinician within 5 business days of the appointment. For complex cases, Dr Ma welcomes direct communication. Allied health professionals are included in correspondence by request.
