What to expect at your first appointment

You will be greeted by the secretary who will ask you to fill out a brief written questionnaire. You can print a copy of this questionnaire from this website in advance if you wish. Insurance details are not required for the consultation. Insurance details will be required if a surgical procedure is planned.

You are invited to relax in the waiting room until Dr O’Connor or Dr Gibson meet with you. You are welcome to bring an accompanying person. We request that all children under 18 years are accompanied by an adult.

Dr O’Connor or Dr Gibson will review your GP’s referral letter with you and address your concerns. Although you may have one or more specific concerns it is the doctors’ practice to offer all new patients a full skin check to rule out any suspicious skin lesions a patient may not be aware of. You may decline if you wish. At the conclusion of your visit, Dr O’Connor or Dr Gibson will discuss your diagnosis, plan for further investigation if required and treatment plan. He or she will correspond the same information to your GP.

Health Insurance

Dr O’Connor and Dr Gibson participate with all the private insurance companies. Insurance companies do not pay for outpatient consultations. However some have plans which reimburse some of the cost of outpatient consultations. We provide receipts for all consultations.

Insurance companies cover most medically-indicated surgical procedures. There are many different insurance plans with different levels of cover for various hospitals. We recommend that patients check with their insurance company to ensure they are aware of their cover for treatment at the Bon Secours Hospital.

Dr O’Connor and Dr Gibson also see patients without private insurance for consultations and minor surgical procedures at the Lee Clinic.

Patients without private health insurance who are self-paying may also avail of treatment at the Bon Secours Hospital.

GIBSON O'CONNOR DERMATOLOGISTS

TELEMEDICINE DISCLOSURE

Introduction

Telemedicine involves real-time consultations with patients including evaluation of symptoms, diagnosis and recommendations for treatment using telecommunications technology which includes the use of interactive audio, video or other electronic media. Telemedicine allows the Dermatologist to see and communicate with the patient in real time.

Consent to Telemedicine Consultation

By agreeing to a telemedicine consultation I acknowledge that:

1. I may withdraw consent at any time without affecting my right to future care

2. The laws that protect the confidentiality of my medical information also apply to telemedicine

3. I understand that a telemedicine consultation is not as satisfactory as a face to face consultation and as such carries limitations with regard to some diagnoses. This may occur due to poor resolution of video or distortion of images resulting from electronic transmission. Your Dermatologist may suggest a follow up face to face consultation.

4. I understand that electronic transmission of data, video images and audio is a new technology and while all efforts are made to ensure security this could be compromised by a failure in security systems or illegal or improper tampering.

5. I understand that my consent will be recorded in the medical record
