About my appointment

How do I make an appointment?

The surgeons at MHK consult at many locations across Melbourne, but for all appointments please contact our main office on 03 9882 7753.

Please call the above number even if you wish to be seen by one of our surgeons at a location other than the Hawthorn East rooms. Alternatively, you can contact us through this website (using the Enquiry form or via the Contact Us page) and one of our staff will call you. You will need to bring a referral letter to your appointment.

What should I bring to my appointment?

For your appointment we ask that you please bring the following :

• Your Referral from your GP, local doctor or specialist.
• X-rays, MRI scans or other images you may have (not just the report)
• Medicare card
• Private Health Insurance Details

What do I have to do for my operation.

Before surgery we will need to ensure that you are fit enough for an operation. After filling out a questionnaire you might need some tests before your operation. If you have multiple medical issues or are undergoing a large operation we may ask you to see a Specialist Physician who can help further assess you.

You should discuss your medication with your GP, surgeon and anesthetist to see which ones you should stop before surgery. It is particularly important that you notify us if you are on any blood thinning medication such as Warfarin or Plavix.

If you have any concerns with your health or have an infection or illness, let your surgeon know before your operation.

Have any tooth, gum, bladder or bowel problems treated before surgery to reduce the risk of infection later.
