How to pay for your Surgery with Dr Turner?
To secure your desired surgery date, a $1,000 deposit is required. This deposit cannot be paid until 7 days after your second consultation with Dr Turner, due to changes in Cosmetic Surgery Regulations set out by AHPRA.
Full payment will be required at least 2 weeks prior to your surgery theatre date.
Do you offer Payment Plans?
No medical practitioner in Australia is allowed to directly offer payment plans for surgery. However, many medical finance companies like Total Lifestyle Credit (TLC) are available to be used by our patients to provide funding for their cosmetic surgery.
If the patient is seeking finance options, however, this is a decision that is completely at the patient’s discretion and we are impartial and not involved when it comes to the choice of payment which the patient decides to opt for. The clinic also accepts most major credit cards. For more questions regarding accepted payment methods, please feel free to contact the clinic.
