CONSULTATION

The assessment process will cover a number of core areas:

  • Medication history

  • General medical history


Following this, an individualised plan will be made on how to proceed and may include:

​

  • Advice

  • Medication changes

  • Interventions

  • Investigations

  • Referral to another specialist


This will be explained during the consultation and will be documented in the medical records and a copy of the clinic letter will be sent to the registered GP and patient.

SECOND OPINION

Dr Montgomery understands that patients aren't always happy with their medical consultations and occasional like to have an expert second opinion. This can be to reassure them and confirm management plans or to open up new treatment opportunities.


Dr Montgomery is happy to offer a second opinion to patients and he will try to remain objective. If you are arranging an appointment as a second opinion please let the team know at the earliest opportunity as it allows time to request relevant investigations and corresponds from your general practitioner and other specialists.
