  • Radiology images and reports
  • Pathology reports
  • If relevant, you should also bring: Medicare Card, private health cover information, DVA card, worker’s compensation claim details, or CTP claim information.

Surgical Procedures

Dr Reece performs adult procedures at Maitland Private Hospital. Procedures may be covered by Private Health Insurance, Workers Compensation, Veterans Affairs, Defence Personnel, or self-funded.

Many Paediatric ailments do not require surgical intervention but do require specialised treatment and education. If surgery is required it is usually done at Maitland Private Hospital but in some specialised infant cases, can be performed at Maitland Public Hospital.
