Considerations in referring your patients to Orthopaedic Surgery
We accept, in principle, referrals only from doctors of orthopaedic surgery (adult diseases), and pediatrics/obstetrics and gynecology (pediatric diseases). Other referrals may be accepted only with the consent of the doctor in attendance, taking exceptional circumstances into account.
For referrals to spinal surgery, appointments are determined by our specialized surgeon; accordingly, it takes one to four days to receive a reply from the Patient Support Center.
Your referrals, X-ray/CT/MRI images are helpful in facilitating diagnosis and treatment of both new and revisiting patients. Please prepare these materials and ask your patients to bring the materials with them.
