FAQs

What is the first step I take?

Book online for an in-person initial assessment with Dr Dulawan.

How do I book?

Booking an appointment is easy, whether you need an initial assessment, an in-depth consult or a follow-up appointment, simply book here.

Do I need to bring anything to the initial assessment? 

Please bring any relevant medical test results or a list of your symptoms, and ensure you have completed the New Patient Registration form if it’s your first time to Blacktown Family Medical Centre.

What is next after the initial assessment? 

After the initial assessment, Dr Dulawan will book a follow-up phone consult to discuss the comprehensive intake forms you need to fill in and email back to us. This is read and reviewed by Dr. Dulawan before your first initial session. We will also then book for your 1-hour initial consultation.

How many sessions do I need to be seen before I get a treatment plan?

There are two main 1-hour in-person consults. After the second consult, Dr. Dulawan will advise you of the treatment plan.

When is the follow up visit?

The first follow-up consult is usually 3-5 weeks after the initial 1 hour consult. The subsequent follow-up consults are usually 6 weeks after the treatment plan is given, and then as often as needed. This can be discussed between you and Dr. Dulawan.

If there are extra consults outside of the initial in-depth consult and the 1-hour follow-up consult, will I have to pay?

Yes, please see all fees listed on the Services page.
