We specialise in assisting patients to improve their overall quality of life by treating painful symptoms which will improve general function. An assessment typically involves:
full medical history and examination
medication review
discussion leading to a treatment pathway
diagnostic procedures (if appropriate) will be scheduled at a later time
Referral Pathways
Referrals for privately funded patients are accepted. Referrals are triaged by Dr Cornish and appointments offered at the earliest opportunity. A comprehensive letter will be sent to the referring doctor following the consultation. Dr Cornish will liaise with general practitioners and other interested parties as required.
We regretfully do not accept patients under WorkCover or Third Party Insurers.
All referrals should be addressed to Dr Cornish at Specialised Pain Medicine and where possible include details on:
history, examination and investigations related to presenting pain problem
previous treatment, including medications, pertaining to pain problem
