Can Dr Toniolo do telehealth appointments?

Dr. Toniolo can do follow-up telehealth appointments to speed up the process of progressing your care, for example if an investigation that has been ordered points towards another problem that needs further investigation, Dr Toniolo will call you prior to your appointment in order to organise any required further investigations.

Unfortunately, Medicare does not allow for telehealth appointments as an initial consultation. Initial follow-up after surgery should similarly be done face-to-face rather than on the phone.

Can I be given a medical certificate?

Yes. Please ask reception staff on arrival or departure and a medical certificate can be organised
