Make an appointment

You are welcome to call us to make an appointment over the phone or request an appointment via contact section of our website. Due to likely wait time, if the issue is very urgent, you are welcome to discuss this with the receptionist. Our staff will inform you the cost of consultation and Medicare rebate with you at the time of booking.

Prior to your appointment

It is highly recommended that you organise a GP referral prior to your appointment. This will allow Medicare rebate on the consultation and procedures done by Dr Shirato. If you have difficulty getting in to see your GP, you could consider online GP service for a referral. Dr Shirato can still write a letter back to your usual GP for continuity of care.

Additional information

If you have additional information such as recent blood tests and pathology results which are relevant to your issue, you are welcome to bring them on the day of your consultation.

Procedures

Biopsy and intralesional steroid injections are often done on the same day as the consultation. However, formal excision or procedure are often done at another day after a formal quote. Cosmetic procedures are done another day after a formal consultation as per Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, after you have been fully informed via consultation and written consent form.

Windsor Gardens Day surgery

For those who are insured with private health insurance, your formal procedure may be booked at the Windsor Gardens Day surgery located on level one of 480 Specialist Centre.
