Referrals

Unfortunately, Dr Silbert is no longer able to accept new patient referrals for clinical consultations due to workload.

He continues to perform EMG (nerve conduction) and EEG testing, and injections for hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating), and hemifacial spasm / blepharospasm (facial twitching / blinking).

You can make an appointment using any of the following:

• Please arrive 5 minutes early for your appointment to complete a registration form.
• Your time is valuable and we make every effort to run on time.
• Delays may be unavoidable due to urgent patients and other factors beyond our control that cause delays.
• We apologise in advance if we keep you waiting.
