Post Zoom Telehealth

When you book this appointment, please be aware that you will need to receive confirmation from our team PRIOR to the booking being confirmed.  We will try to accommodate your preferred booking time but some flexibility is required based on updated availabilities - as well as doctor timeframes during busy clinics.  The doctor allocated to your telehealth will be determined based on the doctor availability and we will advise you on confirmation.  If you require a specific doctor, please call our team on 1800 367 534.

Following the Group Zoom Information Session with Dr Lekich, you will be required to undergo a telehealth appointment with one of our doctors, where you will receive an individual case summary, referrals for tests, letter to your medical team, and a conservative management plan. The goal of this telehealth call is to get your journey started with conservative management alongside our doctors, while our doctors also assess what other steps you may need to consider to become surgically ready.

Your doctor will monitor your progress via a telehealth meeting, provide a treatment plan for veins (if required), and perform a transcranial doppler (TCD) to check for a ‘hole in the heart’ or Patent Foreman Ovale (PFO), which is a prerequisite for surgery.

If your doctor deems it appropriate, they will provide you with a surgical plan and quote.
