How do I choose between a medical and surgical specialist?
Medical specialists diagnose and manage conditions without an operation, while surgeons assess problems that may need a procedure or operation. If you are in doubt which specialist you need, your GP (family doctor) can help guide you.
Do I need a referral letter to book a specialist?
No referral is required. Patients can book directly with our medical and surgical specialists using our online booking tool. If you have been referred by a GP or family doctor, you can present the referral letter during your appointment. However, if you plan to claim on health insurance, your insurer may require a referral letter from your GP or another doctor who is not the specialist you are seeing, so please check with them first.
Are diagnostic facilities available at the clinic?
Yes, LifeScan Naxxar is a complete outpatient and diagnostic facility. If your specialist recommends an ultrasound, X-ray, or DEXA scan, we can coordinate and perform these on-site, often on the same day.
