What is a specialist referral?

A specialist referral is a written request from a primary care practitioner, like a GP, for a patient to see a specialist, for further examination or treatment. These referrals are important for patients because it allows them to access certain specialised medical services and ensures that care is coordinated and appropriate for the patient’s needs.

Why choose Phenix Health for telehealth specialist referrals?

When you need to see a specialist fast, Phenix Health has you covered. Our compassionate healthcare team is available 24/7 via telehealth. After a consultation over the phone or video, our doctors can send a specialist referral straight to your phone or email.

How does it work?

If you would like a referral to a specialist, begin by booking a telehealth consultation with one of our certified practitioners through the link below. You can choose to have your appointment through the phone or video, though video consultations are recommended for more comprehensive assessments.

During the consultation, the GP or NP will discuss your symptoms, assess your medical history, and determine if you should see a specialist and what type of specialist is right for you. If a specialist’s opinion or treatment is deemed necessary, a referral will be issued electronically, which can then be shared with the appropriate medical specialist.

Every referral from Phenix Health is based on a thorough evaluation of your medical concerns, ensuring that you get the most appropriate care tailored to your unique needs.
