Whilst many ophthalmology practices concentrate on a single subspecialty, Terrace Eye Centre is a comprehensive multi-subspecialty practice with the ability to co-manage a wide spectrum of complex conditions in-house. Many challenging conditions are best managed by consultation between experts in different subspecialty fields; the option to have these complex patients consult more than one subspecialist expert at the same practice with access to the state of art facilities ensures the most optimal patient care and outcome.
A single phone call from a referrer can arrange an appointment with the subspecialist best able to manage the condition, and every effort is made to accommodate the urgency of assessment, as needed. In the event that a patient’s diagnosis evolves or changes, further subspecialist input can be provided for the patient in-house at TEC, at times even during the same appointment. All of the doctors at TEC share access to a comprehensive electronic medical record and imaging studies, providing efficient and cost-effective care for each patient.
TEC holds firm the tradition of providing the best ophthalmological care by doctors with exceptional training and experience. Practicing at TEC is by invitation only. All of our doctors are Australian-trained with overseas qualifications, including fellowships. They have all contributed to public hospital work and registrar training, many with formal positions within RANZCO as well as local and international subspecialty societies. TEC aims to provide any patient with an ophthalmic condition, simple or complex, a comprehensive care by a leading expert in the field.
