Making a referral
Dr Stanganelli sees babies and parents, children, teenagers and adults.
All referrals are reviewed and assessed by Dr Stanganelli to determine suitability for the practice. Submission of a referral does not guarantee acceptance or an appointment. Patients will be contacted regarding appointment availability if their referral is accepted. If we can't accept a referral, we'll let the referring doctor or the patient know.
GP referrals are valid for 12 months unless you indicate otherwise. Urgent concerns are best discussed by phone.
