Referrals & Bookings
Referrals
Before booking your appointment, please ensure you or your Referring Doctor, has sent a valid referral through to our rooms, as this will assist us in triaging and booking an appointment for you.
Referrals can be sent to our rooms via:
Email: Reception@wakefieldent.com.au
Fax: 08 8223 2933
Healthlink: wakeentc (for referring doctors only)
When sending your referral via email or fax, please ensure all pages are included and it is a clear and readable copy of the entire referral documents.
If you have any CT or MRI Scans, hearing results or any other medical reports which may assist Dr Arena, please let us know at the time of booking your appointment.
A GP or Dentist referral will be valid for 12 months from the date of your first appointment.
A referral from a Hospital Physician or a Specialist (including Orthodontists and other Dental Specialists) are valid for 3 months only.
Please note: If you do not have a valid referral at the time of the appointment, the full account will be payable on the day and we will be unable to claim Medicare rebates on your behalf.
Dr Arena strictly does not accept referrals or appointments for Workers Compensation or Motor Vehicle Accident Insurance Claims
