We are very fortunate to have Dr. Camelia Borta commit to continue to consulting at our practice for an ongoing period. Dr. Borta will consult here when her commitments at Melbourne allow her. Visits will usually be for a duration of a fortnight with a frequency of between 4-8 weeks. This will allow for Dr. Borta to follow up her own patients providing a great continuity of service.
Dr. Borta will mainly see Respiratory referrals. Urgent Respiratory referrals will still be seen by Dr.Bradbeer. Dr. Borta's commitment to the practice will allow Dr. Bradbeer the opportunity to concentrate on additional sleep medicine consulting.
Sleep medicine is an evolving discipline and encompasses much more than obstructive sleep apnoea. Referrals of patients with more complicated sleep problems are increasingly common. Such patients often require more time with the consultant - particularly in the initial consultation. Our scheduling of appointments has recently been reorganised to allow for this to happen for such patients.
We are still in the process of securing the services of an additional full time Respiratory physician. We hope to have some good news pertaining to this within the coming months.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like some further information about the referring process.
