During your consultation
Dr Yuide will conduct a full medical history and examination. He will discuss the findings of the consultation with you and if further appointments, surgery or medications are required these will be explained. Where surgery is recommended, Dr Yuide will discuss the procedure with you, guide you through a consent process and answer any questions you may have.

As a specialist, a consultation fee will apply when you attend an appointment with Dr Yuide. If you are a Medicare card holder a portion of your consultation fee will receive a rebate.
