To enable you to claim with Medicare, you will need a referral from your GP and/or IVF specialist. Bring this, along with any other relevant ultrasounds and blood test results you have.
For pregnancy, you do not need to have had an ultrasound or blood tests to see us, as we will perform the ultrasound at the first visit and order any outstanding blood or urine tests.
Dr Bassem Gerges (Bas) also performs circumcisions using the Plastibell technique, which can be performed from Day 2 of life following the birth of your son at Norwest Private Hospital. For parents who are interested in having their son circumcised, including those who may have been under the care of other obstetricians, please do not hesitate to discuss this with Bas.
Further information regarding circumcision can be found on The Royal Australasian College of Physicians’ statement, Circumcision of infant males, and here.
