Second opinion

How to request one

You can ask for a second-opinion appointment at the Bowral rooms in any of the ways below:

What to bring

Letting the rooms know the following ahead of the appointment makes the review more useful:

• A current GP or specialist referral (required for a Medicare rebate).
• Recent imaging reports - CT, MRI, ultrasound or PET. Where possible, the images themselves on disc or via shared link.
• Recent pathology results - PSA history, biopsy reports, urine and blood tests.
• A list of current medications, particularly anticoagulants and blood pressure medications.
• Any prior surgical or specialist letters relating to the problem.

What a second opinion covers

• Review of the imaging and test results to date.
• Confirmation - or revision - of the working diagnosis.
• Discussion of the treatment options that fit your situation, including the option of active surveillance or no procedure where appropriate.
• Discussion of the realistic risks, benefits and alternatives of any procedure being considered.
