Appointments and First Visit

Dr Jenny Cook  |  Sydney Gynaecologist & Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeon

What to Bring

For your first appointment, please bring:

  • Referral letter (for Medicare rebates)

  • Medicare or DVA card

  • Private health insurance details

  • Relevant radiology and pathology reports

  • List of medications and allergies

  • Family medical history

  • Any previous medical or surgical records

Preparing for Your Appointment

  • The best time for a gynaecological exam (e.g. Pap smear) is about one week after your period.

  • Avoid using vaginal creams or douching for at least three days before your appointment.

  • Bring a written list of questions you’d like to ask.

  • Try to relax — deep breathing and a calm mindset can make the exam more comfortable

Your consultation may include:

  • Discussion of your general, family, gynaecological, and sexual health history

  • Opportunity to ask questions openly and confidentially

  • Pelvic or breast examination (if clinically required)

  • Patients without a mobile phone should call or email at least one business day before their appointment to confirm

  • Full payment is expected on the day of consultation.

  • Medicare rebates are available with a referral letter.
