For Patients

We pride ourselves on providing quality care

Welcome to Metropolitan Anaesthesia. As our patient, your care is our utmost importance. We’ve prepared comprehensive information on preparing for and undergoing Anaesthesia, as well as answering the most commonly asked questions below.

In this section, you can also find out more about our fees, and meet your Anaesthetist here.

I have a question...

We are often asked about charges, and note the insurance and health care industry can be confusing. There are many different components of your care which potentially carry a charge.

The anaesthetists fee is separate than those of the surgeon and hospital or day surgery facility.

We’ve prepared information on ceasing medications here, however if you are unsure, please send us a message. If you have any specific medication queries please list them at the bottom of the questionnaire form.

Fasting is very important. Please read more information about preparing for anaesthesia including fasting here.

Most patients will receive an SMS invitation to complete their health questionnaire prior to surgery. If our team have asked you to complete a form on our website, please click here.

In most cases the first time you’ll meet your Anaesthetist will be on the day of your surgery. Some patients may require a consultation prior, and we’ll contact you directly if this is deemed necessary by your Anaesthetist. 

If you are unsure whether you need a consultation with your Anaesthetist, please send us a message with as much detail as possible.

If you still have a question that hasn’t been answered above, our preferred method of communication is by email. Please click here to send us a message, or call us.
