Confidential · Evidence-based · ~5 minute screening
Answer a few short questions about your symptoms and history. We build a structured clinical summary you can send to Dr Ramana — wherever you are in Australia — or to your own doctor. It takes about five minutes. The summary is general health information; it is not a diagnosis.
Your answers stay on this device only — nothing is sent until you press the WhatsApp button.
Review what we'll send. You can edit any answer before sending.
This is a self-completed history. It is general information only — not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for an in-person consultation. Dr Ramana's clinic will read your message and respond on WhatsApp within 1–2 business days. Severe symptoms always need same-day medical assessment — call 000 or attend the nearest Emergency Department.
About your surgeon

Specialist General Surgeon — abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR), bariatric and general surgery.
Your message goes to Dr Ramana's clinic WhatsApp. A clinician reads it and responds within 1–2 business days with general information, suggested next steps, or — if symptoms need immediate attention — direction to emergency care. Any clinical advice specific to your individual circumstances will require a formal consultation, in person or via telehealth.
Dr Ramana provides telehealth consultations to patients anywhere in Australia. Where in-person review is needed, the clinic will help you find the right pathway near you.

This website provides general health information only. It is not medical advice, does not establish a doctor–patient relationship until a formal consultation takes place, and does not replace examination by a registered medical practitioner. Individual circumstances vary; outcomes cannot be guaranteed. If your symptoms are severe — see the red banner above — call 000 or go to your nearest Emergency Department. Do not wait for our reply.
