Going To Hospital
Associate Professor Donnan operates at St Vincent’s Private Hospital East Melbourne Campus. Information about the hospital, your stay and what to bring to hospital can be found on their website or by downloading their information booklet.
St Vincent’s Private Hospital has an online pre-admission portal where you can register your admission once your surgery date is confirmed.
OUR ANAESTHETISTS
All surgical procedures require an anaesthetist and a surgical assistant.
Associate Professor Donnan uses Dr Tom Tan or Dr Oliver Gouldthorpe for surgical anaesthetic services, depending entirely on the specific date scheduled for your or your child’s surgery.
You can contact our anaesthetists directly via their websites: Dr Tom Tan | Dr Oliver Gouldthorpe.
OUR SURGICAL ASSISTANTS
For most procedures, a surgical assistant is required. Prior to the operation, we will notify you of the assistant’s details and any applicable out-of-pocket costs. For more information, please contact our office.
OUR ORTHOTISTS
As part of your and your child’s orthopaedic treatment, Associate Professor Donnan may request the services of Orthokids to attend either during your and your child’s surgical procedure or on the ward during your and your child’s hospital stay for fitting of either fitting of or measuring for orthotics or bracing.
