What To Expect From An Initial Consultation
A first consultation lasts approximately 90 minutes and focuses on gathering essential information to develop a comprehensive understanding of your needs. The session begins with an introduction to the process, followed by a discussion of current concerns, symptoms, and relevant personal and medical history. This thorough approach helps ensure that any treatment plan is precisely tailored to an individual's needs.
Based on the information gathered, Dr Lai will collaborate with you to create a personalised care plan, which may include therapy, medication, or further investigations, such as blood tests or other assessments if necessary. With your consent, Dr Lai can also coordinate with other healthcare professionals involved in your care.
Following the consultation, a detailed report will be prepared for you, and, if you wish, for any referring professionals. Dr Lai’s approach prioritises discretion, professionalism, and making sure you feel informed and supported throughout the process.
