For Referring Physicians
When you refer a patient to us, you are trusting us with someone you have been caring for. We do not take that lightly. This page sets out how to reach us quickly, what to send, and what to expect back.
What we take on
If the patient falls outside these, call us anyway. We will help you route them to the right place.

Whipple's procedure, distal pancreatectomy, chronic pancreatitis, cystic neoplasms.

On imaging, management plans, or transplant candidacy. Short turnaround, formal written note back to you.
For patients transplanted elsewhere, returning home. Immunosuppression management, graft surveillance, complications.

Context
After you refer
You hear from us, not a silent black hole. We confirm we have the patient's details and what happens next.
Once the patient is seen, you receive a summary: our assessment, proposed plan, and where we differ from your working diagnosis if we do.
The patient stays yours. We send them back to you with a clear handover: follow-up schedule, warning signs, what needs to be checked locally versus here.
Post-op or post-discharge, if something looks off to you, call. We would rather answer a call than find out later.
Referral form
Short form. Only the essentials. We call you back within 24 hours. For anything urgent, phone or WhatsApp is faster.
