Referral FAQs

Do I need a formal referral form to refer a patient?
No. A phone call or email to discuss the case is sufficient, or you can send a standard referral letter to admin@doctordeelongevity.com.au.

Will I be kept informed after I refer a patient?
Yes. You will receive a letter after the initial assessment outlining findings and the proposed plan, a summary after any treatment is performed, and a clear explanation with an onward suggestion if the patient is not a suitable candidate.

What makes Doctor Dee Longevity's PRP different?
Treatments use a high-dose EmCyte® PRP preparation system with ultrasound-guided delivery, selected to support controlled, documented preparation for clinical use.

Regenerative medicine is not suitable for every patient. A comprehensive assessment is required before any treatment recommendations are made. Individual response varies and no outcome is guaranteed.
