Initial Consultation

During your initial consultation Dr. Reid will spend time exploring and assessing your symptoms before working with you to develop a treatment strategy. This may involve imaging tests, colonoscopy, surgery or referral to other specialists.

Dr. Reid offers TeleHealth appointments for some consultations. If you require a TeleHealth appointment just ask.

Colonoscopy

Dr. Reid may recommend a colonoscopy if you have altered bowel habit, bleeding or a positive National Bowel Cancer Screening Program test (the poo kit). She will explain and make sure you understand the procedure and schedule a time for it to take place. Colonoscopies are performed under a light sedation at a local facility.

Surgery

It may be that the best option for your treatment is surgery. Although this may be daunting Dr. Reid will take the time to talk through all the options for treatment and ensure you are comfortable and confident to go ahead with definitive surgery. Dr. Reid works with an excellent team of anaesthetists, nurses and administrative staff who will guide you through the journey from initial consultation to surgery.
