Patient Referrals

Thank you for choosing to refer your patients to North Coast Maxillofacial Surgery

Referrals can be directed through:

If you have a patient who you believe requires an urgent appointment, please contact our clinic to discuss.

Feel free to browse our website to familiarise yourself with Dr Armstrong’s scope of practice and key areas of interest. If you would like to discuss any of these aspects further or have specific questions, you may reach out to our practice staff to schedule an appropriate time.

Please note that as a private clinic we are not affiliated with the NSW Public Health or Oral Health system; we do not offer public consultations at the practice, nor facilitate or manage public appointments for patients. If you wish to refer your patient for public treatment, please direct your enquiry or referral to your nearest public hospital or oral health clinic.

Please provide adequate clinical history and relevant examination findings to assist us in appropriately triaging your patient’s referral, and arranging timely treatment. In some situations, our team may reach out for further information.

If you are referring a patient for dento-alveolar surgery, please ensure that a recent X-ray (OPG, PA or CBCT) is provided along with the referral.

For soft-tissue lesions (skin or oral pathology), a clinical photograph will greatly assist our team in streamlining your patient’s referral, and subsequent management.

In the interests of sustainability, we encourage paperless referrals - however if you would like hard-copy referral pads, please contact our clinic and we will arrange to supply these for your practice.
