CONSULTATION ETIQUETTE

Momentum Orthopaedics assures safe consultations, while respecting current rules for social distancing.

​

With current restrictions, we are re-arranging our consultation schedule to host as many consultations as possible by tele-health. These consultations will be bulk-billed under the current health department provision.

​

Our practice assistant will be calling all patients who have pending appointments, to make plans for tele-health consultation.

​

Alternative arrangements will be made for consultations which cannot be conducted remotely.

TELEHEALTH

Momentum Orthopaedics can facilitate remote consultations via apps such as Skype or Facetime.
