Initial appointments with Dr. Hayek are booked for 1hour. Follow-up appointments are generally allocated 30minutes. Please discuss with staff at reception if you feel a longer appointment will be required.
For all appointments, it is recommended that you bring your child's 'Blue Book' (or equivalent health record, if born outside of NSW). This will allow previous records, including growth data and immunisation history to be reviewed.
A recent referral from your doctor is required to process a Medicare rebate. Medicare generally considers that referral from General Practitioners expire after 12months, and referrals from other specialist doctors expire after 3months. For newborns seen in hospital, the referral from your obstetrician will be valid until your child is 3months old.
Please feel free to breastfeed your child in the office or waiting room. There are toilets and facilities for changing babies nappies, etc, located within metres of the office. Parking, though limited, is available within the grounds of the hospital, but please leave extra time as this can be full at times.
Dr. Hayek attempts to run on time, but due unexpected delays, including emergencies related to deliveries and care of neonates in Special Care Nurseries, some appointments may run late. Please feel free to call ahead to check whether he is running on time.
