Pre-Appointment Information for Your GP Visit with Dr. Paresh Dawda

Thank you for booking an appointment. To help us provide you with safe and high-quality care, please review the following information before your consultation:

  • Please arrive on time and allow a few minutes before your appointment to check in at reception. You may be asked to confirm or update your personal and contact information to ensure our records are accurate.
  • Bring any relevant health documents, including a list of current medications, recent test results, or referral letters if they have been done elsewhere.
  • Prepare a list of your main concerns or questions to help make the most of your time with the doctor.
  • During your visit, your GP may use a secure digital scribe to assist with clinical documentation. This allows your doctor to remain fully engaged in the conversation while ensuring your concerns are accurately recorded. If you have any concerns or questions about this, please let your doctor know.
  • We encourage you to consider the Choosing Wisely Australia "Five Questions" to support informed decision-making during your care:
    1. Do I really need this test, treatment or procedure?
    2. What are the risks?
    3. Are there simpler, safer options?
    4. What happens if I do nothing?
    5. What are the costs?

These questions can help ensure the care you receive is right for you.

We look forward to supporting your health and wellbeing.
