SPECIALISED PROCEDURES AT ABSOLUTE MEDICAL SERVICES
Infant Circumcision
Dr Schulze performs infant circumcisions on boys up to 3 months of age at the Practice. If you are considering circumcision for your infant we strongly recommend you make an appointment as soon as possible as the waiting list can be lengthy.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and a follow-up check is carried out about a week later.
The cost for the service charged by Dr Schulze is $750, with a Medicare refund of approximately $100.00. A deposit of $150 will be taken at the time of your booking to secure your date, this will need to be paid via credit card. The remaining amount will be paid at the appointment – this payment can be made by EFTPOS, cash and all major credit cards. If you would like to discuss any aspects of the procedure or make an appointment, please call on 4328 5200.
Infant Tongue-Tie Release
Tongue-Tie is where a thin piece of skin under the baby’s tongue is abnormally short and may restrict the movement of the tongue tip. Sometimes this can interfere with a baby’s ability to suckle efficiently. If you are advised that your baby suffers from this condition by a lactation consultant, experienced clinician or you are experiencing problems with feeding, Dr Schulze and Dr Metcalfe both offer this service, and can conduct a thorough assessment and can determine whether a Tongue-Tie release is required.
