    Appointment Process

    Step 1 – Referral By Your General Practitioner

    If your general practitioner feels that you have an orthopaedic condition that requires advanced assessment by an orthopaedic surgeon they will need to provide you with a letter of referral to Dr Manish Gupta.  Your GP may organise for you to have intermediate radiological scans such as an xray, ultrasound, CT or MRI scan prior to seeing Dr Gupta for an appointment.  If so please ensure that you bring these studies with you to your initial consultation with Dr Gupta.

    If you have been referred to Dr Gupta please contact our friendly team who will assist you with an appropriate appointment to see Dr Gupta for an initial consultation in one of our three clinic locations, Westmead, Kingswood and Bella Vista.
