Thank You...

For choosing one of Telecare's paediatricians who specialise in development and behavioural assessments for your child. We want to make sure you understand what to expect during the assessment process.

1 Multi-Step Procedure: The assessment is a detailed process with several steps. It might take multiple appointments to fully evaluate your child's condition.

2 Review of Notes and Results: With consent from the parents/carers, our paediatricians will carefully review various notes and investigation results, like medical records, previous assessments, and relevant tests. This helps them understand your child's medical, developmental, and behavioural history. If you have any reports that may be relevant, please send them through before the appointment.

3 Collaboration with Others: To make an accurate diagnosis, our paediatricians work with other healthcare professionals, educators, and caregivers involved in your child's care. This collaboration provides a better understanding of your child's unique situation.

Please remember that a thorough assessment may take time and careful consideration. We appreciate your patience as we work towards the best outcome for your child. We aim to provide the best care and accurate diagnoses for your child's needs. If you have any questions or concerns, our team is here to support you.

Thank you for choosing Telecare for your child's development and behavioural assessment. We look forward to working with you and providing the care your child needs.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS
ARE SAYING

Telecare has made accessing specialists and telehealth appointments so much easier. It’s amazing – our doctors can come in on an appointment with their patients and specialists, something they never could have done if they had to physically leave the clinic. It makes it so much more collaborative.

I had an appointment with Dr Alexey Sidorov this afternoon. I wanted to write to say thank you. Dr Sidorov was kind and compassionate and I really appreciate being able to use the Telecare service to get treatment. I live in regional Tasmania and would have had to wait over 12 months to “maybe” get an appointment.

After having successfully undergone a [procedure], I wish to convey my sincere appreciation to Michael Zhong for his thorough and prompt input and empathy. He was indeed swift, thoroughly professional and caring in all our interactions for which my wife and I will be forever grateful.

Patient
This is going to make things so much easier for our demographic. We have a lot of low socio-economic patients, so the option to bulk-bill is great. And it will make appointments easier. I recently had to take my child to four review consultations with a pediatrician on the mainland, taking a day off work each time, just to receive test results.

Thank you, you're the only one in the end that pushed to help me despite my annoying emails. I'm sure you deal with so many walks of life and so many personalities and its a real credit to you that still do your best to meet the needs of the patient.

I had a really good experience using Telecare first the first time recently. Mum was in a gruelling long wait in ED on a weeknight. By 3.00am, nothing had changed.
