Making An Appointment To See Dr Vishnu Unnithan

I look forward to returning you to the best level of function possible.

What To Bring To Your Appointment

When you come for your appointment, please remember to bring the following:

  • Referral letter from your GP, family physician or other doctor if present.
  • Copies of operation records, medical records, X-rays, MRI’s, CT scans, bone scans, ultrasounds and so on from prior doctors visits that relate to your problem area (even if you have been told that they are normal).
  • If you have seen a physiotherapist, please bring a progress letter from the therapist if possible.
  • If you have had surgery elsewhere, please bring a copy of your operation report.
  • A list of all medications that you are currently taking and their doses.
  • A list of any known drug allergies and the symptoms you may have from taking these medicines.
  • Any medical information or reasons for admission to hospital.
  • Your health insurance information.

If not all the relevant information is available at the time of your appointment, this may cause a delay in your treatment. In addition, it may be necessary to repeat a study to complete your evaluation.

What To Wear

Please dress so that the body part you are having trouble with can be easily examined and/or X-rayed. If you are attending for a knee problem, please wear or bring shorts to your appointment. If you are having shoulder or elbow problems, please wear a singlet or a top that has few buttons.

Ladies, please ensure to be comfortable clothings, so that if any examination is needed, that could be easily performed.

X-Ray

Dear patients, it is our observation that many of the X-rays performed outside are not ordered by a specialist or of inadequate views and hence we may have to repeat them.

MRI / CT Scan reports and films

Please bring all your MRI / CT scan films along with the reports. Do not bring the reports alone. If you have any soft copy of the imaging studies, please bring them as well.
