New Patients


Dr Lewis is available for telehealth consultations. The duration and the fee for these consultations are the same as for an in-room consultation. Please be aware that on 1 January 2022 the Australian Government substantially reduced the Medicare rebates for phone consultations that are provided by a specialist. This means that there will be an increased out-of-pocket expense for telephone consultations when compares to video consultations via Zoom. You will be advised of the fee before the consultation.

To make the process appropriate and as useful as possible, You will be sent via email a list of questionnaires to be completed and returned prior to the consultation.

Please send via email to office@daniellewis.com.au

  1. Personal details eg age, family and work history
  2. A timeline of the history of the illness.
  3. Your opinion as to why the illness developed and your life circumstances that were occurring at the time of onset.
