Your Appointment at Victorian Orthopaedic Spine Service
Our Care Pathway
Every patient’s journey is different. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your individual condition, symptoms and goals.
Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include physiotherapy, pain management or other non-surgical options. For some patients, surgery may be the most appropriate treatment based on their condition. Dr David Edis will discuss the options available to you and recommend the approach that best suits your needs.
If surgery is recommended, you’ll receive clear information about the expected benefits, potential risks, recovery and costs, giving you the confidence to make an informed decision about your care.
Booking your appointment
A referral from your GP or another medical specialist is required to book an appointment.
Once we receive your referral, our reception team will be in touch to arrange your consultation and guide you through the next steps. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have before your appointment, so you know what to expect.
Your treatment plan
During your consultation, Dr David Edis will thoroughly assess your history, symptoms and the findings of any previous scans, imaging, or test results. If further investigations are required to confirm your diagnosis, these will be discussed with you.
Based on this assessment, Dr Edis will explain your diagnosis and recommend a personalised treatment plan tailored to your condition and goals.
Consultation fees
Appointment fees will be advised at the time of booking your consultation. Please note that we are a private billing clinic, and we request that all consultation fees are paid on the day of your appointment.
