Patient FAQ
Here are some answers to some of our frequently asked questions
Does Dr Moloney run on time?
Usually Dr Moloney keeps pretty close to time. If a patient has a more complicated problem Dr Moloney will take the time necessary for that patient though. If you arrive a few minutes early you can have a look at some of our patient information while you wait.
Is there parking at the office?
Wollongong – There is only street parking. It is a good idea to give yourself some extra time as parking can be difficult in this area.
Goulburn – There is onsite parking.
Roseville – There is a two hour parking station across the road that patients can use free of charge if they don’t overstay the two hour time limit.

When can I drive after surgery?
It’s best to wait until after your post op visit before you start to drive again.

You will need to stop taking any blood thinning medications and anti-inflammatory medications about 5 days before your operation.
