What to expect at your initial consultation

Meet with your specialist

Your first appointment is a chance to talk through your symptoms and better understand what’s happening with your heart. You’ll meet directly with your surgeon for a specialist assessment and discussion about the best way forward. They’ll also work closely with your cardiologist, GP, and any other health professionals involved in your care to ensure nothing gets missed.

During your appointment, we may discuss:

+ How you’ve been feeling and any pain or symptoms
+ Your medical history and current medications
+ Recent scans or test results
+ Treatment options and next steps
+ Whether surgery is recommended

Cultural sensitivity

We recognise that our patients come from diverse backgrounds, and we respect the values and traditions that matter to you. If you would like a translator, interpreter, or wish to include cultural practices such as karakia in your care, we’re happy to arrange that for you.

Transparent communication

We believe in clear, honest discussions about your treatment, providing detailed information to help you make informed decisions about your cardiac health. To make things easier, some appointments may also be available through telehealth, depending on your needs and your surgeon’s advice.
