Patient information
Appointments and referrals
Practical information before you book and before you attend.
Sport and exercise medicine
A Sport and Exercise Physician is a specialist medical doctor who assesses and manages problems affecting movement, activity and participation in sport.
Dr Golding’s clinical work includes musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, arthritis in active people, rehabilitation planning and ultrasound-guided injections when appropriate. You do not need to compete in sport to attend.
Common questions
Do I need a referral?
A doctor’s referral is required for a Medicare rebate. A physiotherapy referral alone does not meet that requirement. Please send your GP or specialist referral before your appointment and check any questions about referral requirements with your selected clinic.
What are the consultation fees?
Fees vary by clinic and appointment type. Ask your selected rooms about the consultation fee, any applicable Medicare rebate and cancellation arrangements before booking. There is no single fee schedule covering all four clinics.
What happens at the first consultation?
The consultation includes discussion of your symptoms, relevant history, activity and previous treatment, followed by an examination where appropriate. Dr Golding will discuss the assessment and next steps, which may include imaging, rehabilitation or other treatment when clinically appropriate.
Do I need to be an athlete?
No. Dr Golding sees patients of all ages with musculoskeletal pain and injuries, including people whose symptoms affect everyday activity, work or recreational exercise.
How do I send my referral and complete the intake form?
Contact your selected clinic to confirm the secure referral route, and arrange for your referral to reach the rooms before your appointment. Complete the intake form sent to your email. Check your junk or spam folder, and contact the rooms if you need help.
Can I attend under workers compensation or CTP?
Workers compensation and CTP patients are welcome. Contact your selected clinic before booking to confirm the referral, claim details, paperwork and funding arrangements needed for your visit.
Which address should I use for a Concord appointment?
Concord appointments are at Orthosports, 47 Burwood Road, Concord NSW 2137. Hunters Hill and Concord share a Healthengine booking page. Select Dr Leigh Golding – Concord; the page or confirmation email may still show Hunters Hill. Confirm any uncertainty with Bianca on (02) 7235 6882.
How can I check availability?
Use the online booking link for your preferred clinic, or call its rooms. Consulting availability can change, so please check directly rather than relying on a fixed weekly schedule.
Before your visit
Send your referral and complete your emailed intake form. Have your imaging and reports, current medication list and previous treatment information available. Wear clothing suitable for examination.
Check your appointment time and clinic address. Let the rooms know before your visit if you need assistance with access or appointment arrangements.
